Best Springs For the Buck$$

[JRSCGSR]

It would be enough of a drop for both aesthetic and street driving, but at the track, progressive rate springs just don't cut it if you're out to get the lowest times. That's why I was suggesting you get single rate coilovers since it seemed that you were primarily interested in draggin, with some street driving on the side. if you match the stiff coilovers with the right shocks, the ride isn't all too bad, but if you're not planning on getting shocks, forget coilovers as you will start bouncing all over the road as soon as your stock shocks give out, which will be rather soon.

Should I get adjustable shocks than??
Like AGX

The R suspension is the hot ticket short of full coilovers... that is if you want handling vs rice...

A popular and proven setup is Eibach ProKits (1.3 drop), KYB AGX's, and a Suspension Techniques rear sway bar... very streetable but TIGHT.

Chuck would be correct. The above spring/shock combo has been proven to be driver friendly and track ready. Though I like the GC's w/ AGX's better. I currently run the following on my two Honda's:
'95 EX coupe: Illumina's w/ Eibach Pro kit
'92 H22 hybrid: GC's(700ft/1000r) w/ AGX's

I wouldn't recommend the Illumina's. Pay the extra to get the Koni's or AGX's.

I've had the Prokits on for about 5 years and still like them (95 GSR). The progressive spring rate makes for almost stock ride but better handling. But, progressive springs are not meant for the track - too much body roll.
I just installed the KYB AGXs. They're harsher than stock shocks at the lowest setting. Increasing the adjustment seems to increase my spring rate instead of dampening. I had hoped for a soft-as-stock setting on them.

I just basicly know that I want the car to be drivable up to some point, because I plan to drive to the track and back.

So its either Skunk2's with AGX's
Or
Eibach Pro Kit with AGX's.


So to get this steight Skunk2's are better for the track and Eibach is more comfortable on the street and softer than the skunk's on the track!?

Thanks...
