Stiffest Suspension!!

Skylinegtr06 · 06-29-2007, 08:08 PM

Can someone name the stiffest(best handling?) suspension set for my FG2? Price is no biggie I just want to see the best out there? Like a suspension Ideal for Track(left and right) and Autox? If there is a thread like this already then please put a link and I will commit seppuku thanks

Stiffer is NOT what you want to handle the best.

Read the suspension sticky.....After that I will answer your question for you :)

si-lenced4door · 06-29-2007, 08:35 PM

stiff is good for straight lines

Skylinegtr06 · 06-29-2007, 09:36 PM

sorry sorry forgive me

Highrev1 · 06-29-2007, 10:00 PM

Stiffer valving in a damper means weight transfers faseter. That same weight transger means there is less traction. So Adjusting the roll couple distribution, meaning which end transfers weight faster is what is key to handling

If money isn't an issue get a set of 4 way adjustable Motons, probably be like 10 grand or so. Somthing similar to this.

Skylinegtr06 · 06-29-2007, 10:12 PM

^thanks, Im getting a set tomorrow

Highrev1 · 06-29-2007, 10:21 PM

Don't ask if you don't like to hear facts and just want answers that will appease you. What do you want to hear? No need to be a Wise Guy, just trying to help.

Get a set of TEIN's you'll be happy

***Izzy*** · 06-29-2007, 10:33 PM

I love motons! Mmm, external reservoir. But Edwyn, what're you going to use the suspension for? Some track or all regular use? People say very nice things about the Tein SS, and I'm sure that's good for pretty much all around without too much tracking.

***GalaxyGreySi*** · 06-29-2007, 11:22 PM

Seriously, HighRev1 is the forum suspension GOD. LISTEN when he speaks.

Skylinegtr06 · 06-30-2007, 01:29 AM

Run buddy clubs man.

***Sirbelch*** · 06-30-2007, 07:43 PM

Highrev recommended Teins? Are you feeling ok? you aren't

are you?

Skylinegtr06 · 07-01-2007, 03:18 AM

^I was looking at some SS why any problems?

***Izzy*** · 07-01-2007, 03:26 AM

Highrev likes "piecemeal" car parts, he'll build it according to his specs, not a factory's like Buddy Club.

Skylinegtr06 · 07-01-2007, 03:28 AM

^hey izzy you track your car yet? Kuya mike said you guys were supposed to head out to willows?

Andrei'sCivic · 07-01-2007, 10:00 AM

I don't know too much about Moton but its expensive as hell. If you want stiff and good handling on the track, for cheaper go with Tein Flex Coilovers. These are twice as stiff as the Tein S-tech springs and HFP suspension. Like 500lbs./in springs. Definetely a loss in comfort with this set-up, and bumps in the road in curves become more dangerous.

We were supposed to the Streets of Willow about mid-July, but that has been postponed and/or cancelled -- I'm heading to New York for a week, so I'm not able to afford that anyway...

I do still definitely plan on going though, I need to enjoy the car!!!!

SoCal 8thCivic members should propose a meet there or something! (ideas...)

aki · 07-01-2007, 10:54 PM

Really, I'd take your car to a track and see what you like/don't like about the handling and go from there. The "best" setup for you is whatever inspires the most confidence to push it to the limit, IMO. Otherwise if you don't want to take that time you could just get Tein Flex and hope it's what suits your needs.

Highrev1 · 07-01-2007, 10:58 PM

Lengthen my post....
