ya i know i should reaserch it more but i havent had time to spend on the comp and the window of opertunaty for a good deal is closing fast.
thx for your help ill get tokico shocks and probaly the tanabe springs with the 20-30% higher spring rate hope it will work out

ok so i did some reserch and ppl being say tokico struts suck and im wondering what you guys think. id be spending like 400-450 cnd on them and im wondering if thats worth it

Minor Threat

Neuspeed springs + Tokico blues for over a year, the car is ------- slammed, but rides nicely.

Whatever you do, if you're looking to put power down afterwards, address your faggoty camber that slamming Honda's induces.

i've had my tokico illuminas(sp?) for about 6 months with no problem.....ride is good..better then the horrible cut springs and blown shocks the guy :1 that had it before me was rocking

You do not want any drop, unless you plan to spend serious time on your suspension.

I rode in Speed Phreak's 2.0/VTEC CRX with Holset HX35 power two weeks ago. It is at stock HF ride height, actually looks a little 4X4-ish because of it. Stock 200K miule suspension bushings, Brand X cheapass coilovers, and bottom of the barrel KYB GR2 shocks.... the car is smooth as sex in and out of power, feels a LOT more stable under power than anything lowered I've ever been in. He punched it up a cloverleaf exit ramp at 9 psi, speeds over 80 mph on a pretty tight curve... and the car felt really good and hugged the ground. As a passenger, I felt safe. I can't think of any other turbo Honda with a similar power-weight (275-ish is enough for a high 11 in an 1800 lb car) that feels like that, handles like that.

Time to rethink everything we think we know, kids... If you camber kit and align a lowered ride it makes a big improvement all around... with all the new parts replacing slopped out old ----, it feels like an improvement. But, lowering the car alters suspension geometry, and dynamic handling goes and sucks dick for crackrock. I knew all the big name road race guys were lowering their cars *at most* 1/2" from stock, but...

well kick me in the ***** and call me uncle. i guess ill try to find something with close to stock ride. right now the tanabe springs im looking at are a 1.5 drop front and rear. ya i guess you got a point if a car was developed a certin way and you try and change it you cant realy inprove on it onely make it worse. so much for a agresive stance.

He cant spell EIBACH, what makes you think he can search?

Very well put. I see so many Hondas driving around, slammed to the ------- ground, trying to creep over every little bump in the road. Meanwhile, with my 1.4" front, and 1.0" rear drops, I leave the sight of cars behind me when tearing through the twisties. Tokico HPK's are what I'm pushing. Some people will rag on the wheel gap, I tell them to meet me in the mountains.



^This was the day after install, they've settled in a little since then, but not much.
