Just wondering what suspension set-up you guys are using, and how low it has dropped your car? Pics would be cool if you do have any! If you have any rubbing complications please list those too!

[Cramo]

2 inch drop with KYB coilovers in the rear.. and KYB adjustable racing struts up front.


Rides very nice.

[Rampage]

About 1.5" in the back via cut coils, and 1.5" in the front from adjusted T-bars, 2 splines, adjusted all the way up.

Here is a pic with the front adjusted all the way down, too low to pull the jack out the front, and dangerously low for the header, right now it sits with the front at the same height as the rear.



I have no bottoming problems whatsoever.

Cheers,
Mark

Any others?

[CRXdan]

Jackson Racing springs, 1 coil clipped, front is stock torison bar; lowered adjustment nut. Rides liek shit, yes I need suspension upgrades......

What is that just about a 1" drop? You car is really nice none-the-less. Were you at a BC meet just a little ago, I have pics on my computer of your car from it I think.

Anyone else?

[cbstdscott]

Energy Suspension bushings set
Tokico Blue struts and shocks
Ground Control rear coil-overs
Eibach rear springs, 350lbs
23mm Sway-A-Way front torsion bars
Lightspeed Racing Panhard bar
Lightspeed Racing Rear Sway Bar
Greddy front strut brace
Greddy rear strut brace
OPM camber plates

The camber plates and mounting the front struts 1" lower than stock gives me a lot of extra suspension travel.

The car is about 1-1 1/2" lower than stock and this is an ideal compromise for street and auto-x/track. This set up is very "neutral" and with racing tires on 13x6 wheels, corners like it is on rails.

This is the best picture that I have of the car.

I think that looks really nice. Nice looking car man!
How hard was it to get the Type R steering wheel in?

More people please

Thank you. the wheel is easy, all non-airbag Hondas use the same splines.

23mm torsion bars, Tokico Illuminas, 300lb/in rear coilovers, welded rear sway, Energy front endlink bushings, RPR panhard, and if it pushes too much on track next month (like, at all) I'll throw the Lightspeed rear sway back on. I'd prefer it a bit lower, but that's not much of an option at this point- the fronts are adjusted all the way down (still on the normal spline, however) and the rear coilover sleeves are bottomed out. On the other hand, it'll be nice not constantly watching out for my tow hooks and not-so-shiny new exhaust piping.

[shadowboy]

mine is about as low as vandemar's & cbstdscott's maybe *slightly* lower than vandemar's (hard to say, i am also running 195/60R14 rubber). the fender height is about 1.5" below stock height.

my setup:
Mugen 25mm torsion bars
Ground Control coilovers with Eibach 325lbs/in springs
integra knuckles
integra lower control arms
integra rear axle
integra hubs
integra brakes (all 4 corners)
ES bushings
Koni Yellows
RPR panhard bar

[bridgework1812]

25.8 mm Mugen torsion bars
Drag Eibach's on Kyb's
Integra rear axle swap
Integra front crossmember swap.

the teg springs and struts are slightly oversprung with nobody in the car but squats down another 1/2 inch nicely and holds once the driver is in. also the teg axle and front cross are slighty longer making the track of the car a lil bit wider which should inprove cornering some.

Where have you 2 come across those mugen torsion bars? And how much did you buy thme for, if you dont mind me asking?

[87MugenProCR-X]

27.5mm torsion bar
energy suspension bushings
tokico illuminas all around
eibach pro kit about 1" drop
the front is down about 2 or more inches.

No pics though

i forget how low it was but my front bumper with the teg lip on it had 5.8 inch clearence so had to have 2 people to jack up front end, 1 on the jake and 1 lifting the front up.
all by losening the tortion bolt all the way and low pro tires.
