mysticdx · 08-11-2007, 08:30 PM

only mod i got is a intake by the way i drive it .i drive around the corners and you hear the tire making that sound but its not making a screeching sound.the car rolls to the point on the side that i feel it pulling me.its only on street where they got bumps in the road where i get the wheel hop so sorry it mite not be as bad at the rear as i think.i want this a a daily driver and track day car.

Body roll is NO indication of how well a car handles...I would first start with a good alignment...-1.5 F -1.25 rear 0 toe all around see how that works for ya...

How much for the Mono Tubes?

Solid thread - I'd be interested in this.. just have to save up some money.
I'm a daily driver, weekend racer (auto-x) so I want something that'll take a beating on Sundays. Comfort on the street doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm not flying all over the place.

I just got this e-mail from Chris @ RedShift:

These double adj konis are freaking amazing. this is probably the best constucted DA that's ever been done. I'm not kidding.

Anyway, we are doing the shipment today.

What spring rates are suggested with these dampners? I'm a EX Sedan if that matters. I'm assuming since the suspensions are compatable these will work here too.

***Sirbelch*** · 08-17-2007, 07:38 PM

I'm looking at about 475 in the front and about 550 lbs/in in thre rear. That is about 2.5 times stiffer than the stock Si springs. The beauty of this suspenion is you can get what you want. I have also had Tein SS that has a spring rate of 340/390 F/R and those were only rough on the biggest bumps and worst roads. I now have Tein Flex and those have 500/560 F/R. Those are rough over moderate roads but ok on most city streets. The bigger the gap front to rear you have (the rear being stiffer) the more oversteer your car will have.

If you are calling it drop, i don't know if this is the right suspension for you. Yes it does adjust ride height.
