Is there any camber adjustment? I dont want to HAVE to run more than about 1.5 degree on this car. I dont even have aggressive tires on it. Where will the integra arms land me?

Excellent info! Now i have some stuff to go on. There should be a big half-price sale at my 2 favorite junkyards next weekend, so i'll keep an eye out for early integras.

 

 

Or try the gen 2 crx rears or even fronts

Im especially curious about this. Do you mean that 2g CRX fronts have the same spring diameter as 1g rear?


Also, something i probably dont need but have been curious about:  Has anyone converted 1g front dampers to coil-over and run a soft 'supplemental' spring there?  I admit if i just looked at my own car for 5 seconds i would know whether this was a stupid question, but im throwing caution to the wind and asking anyway!

I think for me the thing has been an unsettling amount of body roll and weight transfer. Im sure i would need more rear roll stiffness if i actually wanted it to rotate but my suspicion is that making it 'feel' better (i may never actually race it) will probably come from increasing FRONT roll stiffness. I honestly dont want this thing to oversteer with my wife behind the wheel, ever. Im simply looking for mild responsiveness upgrades.  As a junkyard solution id be looking at Si or Integra front sway, MAYBE integra torsion bars? 

It needs more rear spring to keep it off the bumpstops when loaded and/or being driven too fast on harsh roads. Any idea of a junkyard solution for that one? Again, can't go too crazy back there if it's going to put my wife in the weeds or worse.  ;) What are the factory spring rates in the back? I have been known to find 'alternative' springs for my K-cars that come from other cars and have higher spring rates.

Thanks
