And you dont have any clearance issues? What brand tire is that and what is the offset of your rim?


the tires are falcon azeneth 205-50-15, i think the offset is 38 but not sure, there are some clearance issues but not on the shock side, i cant go any lower but that's ok its low enough as it is .

All I gotta say is, you guys with Tokicos (blues OR illuminas) DO NOT know what you are missing!




Had the Medieval Pro damper kit (most people call it MP Tein)
5kg rear springs
OPM Panhard bar
24.5mm torsion (Jackson Racing)

Very balanced, very slight oversteer on minimal lift.

I have Teins on my EP3, and I'd love to have them on my 86 at some point. unfortunately, the konis are paid for, and I need to finish a motor build before I re-do anything else... hopefully they'll be available for a while.

and that CRX is SICK!!!

Here is my set up on full race car:

27mm Torsion (never a need to go higher even with slicks)
450 lb springs on Coilovers
Suspension Techniques Bushings
Adjustable Panhard - My creation with Sperical Bearings
Stock Sway bar from Integra (I think, cant remember) or could be a CRX stock
Front Sway bar long gone. First thing to get taken off the car!!!!!!!
Koni Adjustable Sports (Yellows), shortened, revalved - A must for these cars! Not cheap though.....
Camber plates - My creation with Spherical bearings

D16A1 Turbo, Running 8 psi gets to 238 WHP on Mustang Calibrated Dyno - Sponsor Appalachian in Black Mtn, NC
Electromotive Engine Management, TecGT

I run this car @ VIR 130 mph+ and I run out of gear half way down straights. Here it is at CMP where I took 1st place, this is the picture from the trophy! And yes, that is slicks on rain!!!
This was a couple of years ago. I have since updated the whole front end of the car with different splitter set up and cooling.

My Suspension setup:

Tokico Illumina's
350lb OPM rear coilovers
27.5 UM Integra torsion bars
Rear Cusco Strut bar
14x6 Enkei Sports w\ 185/60/14 Falken Ziex








So this setup does not have an adjustable pan hard bar. Looks good to me how this one sits. Its at a perfect stance. Thats how I want mine.

i really wish i knew what katmans' setup was:



This is what katman replied when I asked..




hey whats up..been a while since i've been on this forum.

When I had my 87, I ran a set of custom shortened struts by this company that is no longer around (Bectech or BechTech) which totally helped out the ride a LOT for being how low my car was.
I used stock torsion bars.
For the rears I used stock shocks and a set of coilovers which I can't recall the brand at the moment.
I also ran a 'lightspeed' rear panhard rod.



hope this helps!
