Or my Junk2? Lol, Thadya had the worst suspension before this, now I think either Dai Lon or myself will fall into that category :cry:

 

[NastyDB8]

You mean worse than all shocks blown and megan racing lowering springs?!

 

[Nick_C78]

What was hers? And nah both yours and dylans are better than mine. lol

I actually found the real spring rates for my kit. The ones I said in the past apparently were for civic.

Mine are 288F/213R. Doubt yours are worse. To put that in to perspective stock GSR is 200F/95R and stock ITR is 250F/250R.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

You hurt

 

[Nick_C78]

And I only have OEM gsr sways... lol

So yeah, you norcal peeps are killing me...bleh I need to get to work haha.

Can't wait to see how you all do out there on the 16th!

 

[OGstackadoIIa]

I don't have a sway either, dammit. I have to see if I can afford that with everything else I'm buying tomorrow =/

Hey! Nice cool overs! Which ones did you end up with?

 

[redGSRguy]

What rates on the PICs? I'm tempted to pic up a set of 14k/18k from a guy locally, but I am worried about comfort, haha.

Higher rates doesnt mean it's better. It depends on how the shocks are valved for the springs. I have been in Dolla's car with the junk2s and I can safely say that your Eibach shocks and springs are better. I had the Eibach progressive springs prior to the coilovers.

Yay! Goodies for Dolla.

Are you asking what coilovers I got or are you asking which option I got? Lol.

I got the 12k/10k. It's pretty rough for daily already and I have been in a few cars with stiff suspension. I do have the coilovers on the stiffest setting to break them in though but from talking to the rep from PIC performance, they did mention to me that 12k/10k may be too stiff to daily drive. I did some calculations before I made my decision on getting the 12k/10k so I could roughly predict how much more stiff they are compared to my old suspension.

In my opinion, don't get the 14k/18k if you daily your car. Also, I don't like the fact that it's stiffer in the rear than the front. The engine is in the front so there should be more support for the front so that the car does not get too upset, when you're braking and turning, because of the weight transfer.

Oh I know rates aren't everything, and we all know eibach makes good stuff, just saying it is set up to understeer pretty bad. Which is because they are for DD and DD designs are always more understeer oriented for saftey reasons. Are the skink2 really that bad? I need to ride with Dolla some time then. lol

Also, keeping those alignment specs secret? lol

I guess also me saying I don't mind 12k 10k for driving around also didn't help xP

Nice new goodies Thadya. Ballllllin'!!!!

 

[Nick_C78]

Take back what I said about Pats suspension being better. I thought he had skunk2 coils like the pro-s series or something. Was not aware he was on crappy Skunk2 lowering springs and questionable Skunk2 struts...Yeah yours is probably the worst bro. lol

I've sat with Patrick several times at the track and thought his skunk2 suspension held up very well
