1999 Civic Si

Zeal S6
Azenis


Looks lilke everyone runs as stiff as possible in the rear, but i can't seem to find too much about how I should set my shock up in front.

Initially I was thinking full soft, to allow the front end to squat a bit, but the more I think about it this may also contribute to wheel hop.

I like the zeals a lot. I've had them for about a 1.5 years. 8k 12k spring setup, but the ride is not as harsh as some have complained.

My car is more set for road coarse rather than drag, but I do like to hit the 1320 every now and again.

So do you have any suggestions on where I should set the front shocks?

In the past I've run the front on 1 (full soft) and the rear at 6 (full stiff) but still can't seem to hit 2.2 60's consistently.

Tire pressure on the front Azenis is anywhere from 20-26 at the strip.
