ground controls and koni yellows.

im new to this site and im planning to get ground controls and koni yellows. would there be anything that i might need to know about the set up like anything extra other then a camber kit that i would need to buy or know the best settings to fit on a 03 civic. i just wanna dump my car on the si rims. with it being a perfect ride for daily driving and taking those corners. thanks in advance.

If you are really tuning for handling, then dont lower the car more then 1.5 inches.... the struts on this car have a very low amount of camber gain when they compress, and lowering the car too much will reduce that gain... go to far and you run in to camber loss as the strut compresses.

any ways, for settings of the dampers, its pretty easy. Simply soften the end of the car, front or rear, that you want to have Stick more. and stiffen the end of the car you want to have Stick less. Typically, you'll see more FWD cars with soft damper valving on the nose and stiff damper valving on the rear.
