If you do'nt want to lower, then just get a good set of shocks like bilstein, koni, ohlins and some sway bars.

Thats pretty much what I was thinkin. Good dampers to get the car to transition better and anti-roll bars to tune the oversteer/understeer balance & allow you to keep what ever springs you have now.

For tires... How long do you need them to last?

Re: need racier suspension for my 92 civic

I was Tuning based on him not wanting to lower the car more, which left him with only being able to tune with Tires, Dampers and anti-roll bars. How those parts are setup would feed in to the "what are you setting the car up for" question.

Well, How are you suppose to tune your suspension when you've got no plan as to what the car will be used for or what your priorities are... :P
