Default SUSPENSION PROBLEM...

have a 95 Civic Coupe and I plan on taking my b18c swap out to sleeve it and get it ready for 10+ psi and 300+WHP...
Now my problem lies in the suspension... I'm told that I want high spring rates in the back... to take weight off the rear wheels in order to not lose speed... i also want to drop the car about 1 and a half inches all around...

what's the best suspension setup.. he reccomended some skunk2 race setup, but it makes your car sit funny.. i want a good ride height while still maintaining good race-ability... thanks

DAILY DRIVER - UP TO LIKE $1000 DOLLAR BUDGET... SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE. THANKS!!!

Try Tein SS, I know its a good suspension but I don't think it was really designed for drag though.

Bottom line - just get a coilover system!

i dont know. but unlesss its a full race car, that shouldnt really matter for now. as long as you can stiffen the rear for the track
get something with like 16 damper settings.
