suspension question
 

Right now i have koni yellows with nuespeed springs on my 1988 civic sedan.

i have the front shocks set at the middle height (there are 5 height settings).

i was thinking about making a set of extended tophats for the front of my car, and setting the spring height at the highest level

will there be any benefit to doing this? because i like my ride height right now, but im bored and have ---- lying around and just got my own tig welder finally,


so yeah any benefit to this mod?

Re: suspension question
 

i'm not sure but unless those shocks are bottoming out, then i don't see what the advantage is

Re: suspension question
 

You want the fronts at 1 click from full soft and the rears at full hard. It will kill understeer. Also get a smaller (HF) front bar , or remove it all together.

Removing it without a set of good rack bushings will make the steering feel vague at center.


If you are not looking to lower the car further then it already is , there is no point in making top hats. With Koni's you should be well within the shocks useable range. Unless you are bottoming out the shock now , there is no point, it won't make the car ride better.

My Koni's reds with coilovers at the lowest point have plenty of travel.

get a bigger rear bar if you can as well (22mm)

Re: suspension question
 

would that setting you recommended work with the tein superstreets that i have? set the front to soft and the rear to the stiffest?

Re: suspension question
 

you can't tell by pushing down on the car? with my konis its a hella difference just take it for a ride, first pothole theres your answer

and broken rim

Re: suspension question
 

14" steelies are hard, but not impossible, to break

Re: suspension question
 

yeah i could.

so your saying i should remove the shock and conpress and remove the spring, turn the shock any direction, put the spring back on, put the car back together, and push down on it.

and if i turned it the wrong way then redo the whole thing????



cuz that is a ------- retarded idea if ive ever heard one.

Re: suspension question
 

forgot they made those, mine adjust with a knob

you still should be able to compress them while off the vehicle, and be able to tell a difference. or just go to their webpage and look
