  • suspension help

    I know that this has probably been talked about before but couldn't find what I need here, so my question is what is the best suspension I can get handling wise. I'm not worried about ride at all this is a circular track car only.

    my current set up stock springs and struts on all four corners BUT the right front has a eBay coil-over... (was told to take if off at the last race i ran last year)

    my old suspension was doing ok but now the track officials are turning their heads to coilovers and all the Honda's are running coilovers and now fear that I wont be able compete with the them anymore (this coming season)

    Question is can I get a good handling system out of stock springs from some thing else or will I have to convert to coilovers.

    The reason i don't really want to go the coilover rout it that only one of the 3 tracks I run at will allow them.. I guess I could have 2 set ups and switch them out from one day to the next lol

    Sorry i don't really have much experience with suspension ANY HELP ???

    thanks, william

    get an00-02 RF rio strut and cut 1.5 coils out. then take your stock RF coil and put it in the LR position (cut to make level) then find an aspire front coil and put it in the RR position (again, cut to fit). you'll want new rear struts in the rear as well.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

          Civic 2 inch lowering springs. You need two sets of rears or cut the fronts.
