Re: Advice needed on suspension...

handling definitely improves and the comfort is not that bad, not too rough... with this combo though its more for daily street driving and not track use, but i have taken it to the canyons a few times To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Advice needed on suspension...

Handling can be tuned later with the proper alignment and Anti-roll bar setup

Right now, find a spring with the drop you want and a good damper to go with it. D-spec's may be an option, given you want a 2" drop.

Re: Advice needed on suspension...

My car will mostly be used for daily driving.

I've done some research regarding sedans and I'm now leaning more towards getting some Neuspeed Sports and either Tokico D Spec or Koni yellows...

Comments anyone?

Konis require modification of the front struts, whereas D specs are plug and play. I am not sure you level of confidence with working on your car, but D specs would be the easier swap.

Re: Advice needed on suspension...

id suggest the yellows. they're just bout the best struts you can get for your civic....

the ride is subperb and the handling is excelent....

now, pair them up with lets say......GROUND CONTROL...and you've got urself a winner over anything.....

plus, the adjustment will be a PLUS for you...since you have a saloon... saloons have a tendency to sag at the rear more then coupes

but she want a DD and does not plan on racing nor needs the adjustability. She needs a simple set up like tein S-techs with tokicos. Konis and GCs are much more complicated.

Yeah, I was inititally going for some Tein S Techs with Tokico Blues. But I've been told that S Techs aren't the greatest choice for sedans. So right now, I'm thinking of getting some Neuspeed Sports with Tokico D Specs and some SPC cambers.

Re: Advice needed on suspension...

What does the "MT.C" stand for?

Yeah, I'm looking out for some new taillights. But I'm working on my rims and suspension right now.

And hell yea, there's no other way to drive a car than manual.
