thanks guys.....keep em comin

 

Here's my autoX setup...

Stock 14's wrapped with falken 502's inflated to 45 psi up front and 35 psi out back
lowered on suspension techniques springs
stock struts
stock sways
no idea what the alignment looks like...

and I still whoop *** on cars that I shouldn't

Eventually I will be putting on a set of H&R Race springs over a set of Koni yellows and have some beefier sways, as well as Rota 15's and a set of azenis...but that is a ways away so I just making do with this set up for now and learning how to drive.

 

Eibach Pros
Tokico adjustables
ST sways, front and rear (most don't do the front)
Neuspeed tower braces, front and rear
Autopower 4-pt rollbar (stiffened up things surprisingly well)
15" SSR Type X's w/ Azenis


Pretty typical autox setup. I would recommend a Quaife LSD as well.

I like 'em a lot; was my first real suspension mod. Had 'em on the crx for at least 4 years now without problems.

Since so many people are so adamant about not doing the front one, though, I'd talk to others who don't have the front installed, and get their opinions.

Hella...Good luck with the road racing...that is eventually what I would like to do too.

 

just curious, what kind of motor setup do you guys have road/race

 

I have right now only Tokico Illumina struts and H&R springs, I like the way it feels.

 

I've got my 91 Si set up for STS. I'm running:
Koni single adjustables w/ front brake line holder removed for extra travel
ST rear 7/8 bar, no front
Neuspeed front upper strut tower brace (more to come as $ allows)
ES suspension bushings, motor mounts, trans, and trailing arms
No name coilovers- came with the spring rates I was looking for, 400 f, 450r
15x7 Kosei K1's until I can afford Enkei RPF01's
Falken Azenis
Front and rear camber adjustment (front en route from JZR)
Cornerweighted

 

Car: 1991 DX hatchback
Spoon ITR yellows with the blue progressive coils
Spoon front and rear upper strut bars
ES master bushing kit, ES rear trailing arm bushings, ES 88 rear lower bushings
Stock front sway bar
Si rear sway bar
14" steelies with Falken Azenis set to 35psi

Next suspension related mod: 92-93 GSR front sway bar.

 

I am going to order my KW Varient 3. I race my friends ls civic hatch with ground controls and koni adjustables, damn car rides like a gocart. I will keep everyone posted on my $1700 KW investment.

 

Heres what i got

Skunk 2 coil overs and springs
KYB AGX 4 way adjustable struts
Front Strut bar
Suspension Techniques Polyurethane Bushings all around
Suspension Techniques Sway bar
Falken Azenis 195/60/14r

I keep my times close to the Mazda Miata's, and sometimes beat them.
