Wife's suspension review Tokico Blue / HR Sport
Wife's suspension review Tokico Blue / HR Sport
Heres the scoop installed the Tokico Blues / HR Sport on wife's 01 sedan.
Setup:
- Tokico HP Blues 4x
- HR Sport 1.3 inch drop
- Upper Front tower bar
- OEM front sway
- NO rear sway (I know its good to get some nice oversteer but not safe for wife)
- Ingalls Rear camber kit (no needed in this case but why not)
Handling:
Much improved, about 30% stiffer than stock. pretty much eliminates body roll even without upgrade sway bars. Car still rides very smooth
Comparision
1) Koni Yellows + neuspeed race (Yellows kill these if your really into handling)
2) EP3 / CTR OEM shocks - Now this is a good comparison, Blues+HRSport is just as stiff as my EP3 shocks and show a slightly faster valving. EP3 shocks are little bit stiffer and you can feel it 10% bouncier. Blue+HRSport have a 10%-20% advantage I would say according to my opinion.
3) Buddy Club N+ - Comparison comming soon. putting them in in a couple of weeks.
Value: 9/10 wife feels safe driving civic now so i'm happy shes safe.

That sounds good! But I think she should still atleast get a OEM rear sway bar... She'll get even more understeer now...
But I guess it really depends on how hard your wife drives it though... I'm glad it feels more stable for her!
