so are these a go? what did they say about the length of the shocks? when are they going to get started? im pretty excited to have a nice low 1st gen without riding on the bumpstops biggrin.gif .




They are on going....I am trying to get more details now. The next step I am going to take is getting pricing and getting deposits from people!

I am hoping to get going on the order within a month or so!

Stock rear spring rate for a Civic Si is 120lb/in for those who don't know.

Put 450's on the car and drive it on the street and you will have a vomit comet. (At least that was my experience with 450/Koni's) Too much unsprung weight in the back.

But it handled great on the track! 275 seems great to me for street use.

I had 275s and konis on my crx and they were a little hard for me....but overal;l they probably are not bad.
