civic ls/Vtec suspension

[5thgen4dr]

yo yo I just got done swapping in a ls/vtec into my 93 dx 4dr. Nowi need some suggestions for suspension because my front end is basically gsr now. Now should i buy civic or integra suspension? It squats a little in the front but now much. thanks in advance for the help guys.

no they aren't the spring rates are different. (and thats THE biggest part to the coilover)

now what do you want out of your suspension, your question is open ended and no one can give you a good answer.

is it a street car? or will it see RC and AUTO-X often? or will this car see the 1320 often?do you want a smooth ride? or something that handels great. do you want to go super low or relitivly stock height. all of those will help me give you a better suggestion.

Something tells me he wont know what the 1320 is.

hahaha sorry, i dunno i have just goten into the grove of saying that,



BTW 1320 is the 1/4miles, there is 1,320 feet in the quater miles hence why i call it the 1320

well i'm going to be racing at drags but i want a nice soft ride but want to be able to take corners quickly. i also want to prevent squating in the rear while i'm accelerating. YES it will see the "1320" at about 8:30 tonight at portland international raceway!

ok your asking the impossible you want a nice soft smoth ride, but you don't want it to sqaut, and you want to be able to take corners quickly.

here is the first thing about suspension, if you want to get ride of body roll, and or squat (especailly squat) say bye bye to your nice smooth ride. high spring rates are nessacary to acheive both of the formentioned.

a good all around suspesion though would be, ground control coil overs for and DC integra, then any good adjustable damper of your choice. id suggest koni yellow's first then KYB's AGX.

but to succesfully prevent squating most racer run something like 900lbs springs in the back, which will make your ride HORRIBLE and you will need custom valved dampers.

but a comprimise that will get you good handeling, decent 1320 suspension and a decent overall DD ride would be ground control coil over(for an DC integra) and Koni yellow dampers.

Its a waste of money to buy non-adjustable dampers, as they are just replacments for the stock's and suck.
