Ok so I am planning on swapping the shocks and springs on my Civic (93 EX). I have some Neuspeed springs already. The car is going to see some autocrossing and probably some HPDEs down the road but also daily driver duty. While I am doing that what else should I do while I have the shocks off? I was going to put Integra Type R bars on it at some point (not right at the same time though). I also have a set of rear toe adjusters laying around. Also what shocks? Should I just pony up for the Koni Sports or what about Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGXs or ....?
Go for the koni yellows, you won't be disappointed.
I've got Koni yellows on my CRX and love them.
So Koni Sports sounds like the ticket and looking at the price on Tire Rack I might as well (compared to AGXs).
Anything else that I should do to the car (Integra Type R bars or what bars)? I am not really sure about bushings. I don't really want urethane on a daily driver.
Koni sports (yellows). Believe me and the others. I've had Tokico's, KYB's and Bilsteins on one or another of the many Civic and CRX's I've owned. None of them come even close to the Konis.
In the past I've found the best prices on Shox.com, but I haven't bought any in a while. You might at some point also consider Ground Control coil overs. The Neuspeed springs aren't bad, but they aren't really stiff enough for how much they lower the car. These cars don't have a lot of suspension travel, so when you decrease that by lowering, you need to increase the spring rate and shock valving to avoid bottoming.
Yellows on my 94 hatch. Love em
In reply to bravenrace:
Yeah. I got the Neuspeed springs for a good price for on here. I may go with Ground Controls but I am not sure yet.
You can get the adjustable sleeves from a roundy-round race source for less than Ground Control and get your springs there too.
I used QA1 springs on my CRX and they were quite cheap.
Shocks? I used AGX, but that was just what was available quickly. I was happy with them.
