after two weeks of waiting, i finally got my rear KYB adjustable gas shocks. yes i only bought the rear, because i needed them badly. the rear left strut pissed all over the place so i had to order what i could afford. i might get to install them tonight. but i was wondering if you guys think the back end being stiffer then the front will make it kick out easily during autocrossing... i also have tein s techs.

 

nice does it feel better in the rear now?

 

^^ he hasent installed them yet..i think you will feel a defference because your going to used in the front from new in the back..but there adjustable so you can play around with them a little and see what feels good

 

sweet. i want those shocks but their a bit outa my price range[:@]...handling will prolly depend on how low/high u have them set at. just mess around with it till ur find the right spot.

 

on the contrary. i dont remember who it is but ive read this book, and the guy said that someone suggested to him stiffer springs in the back than the front, and you can slide the *** out no problem on them. hes been doing it ever since. its not a bad idea if your on a budget to replace the back and just leave the front stock.

actually the way hondas are set up from the factory is the front springs are stiffer than the rear because, generally speaking, people can controll the front sliding more easily than the rear.

 

its always fun to drift a civici love when it just snows out sometimes

 

there struts.... the springs are the ones i got from tein. i just have new adjustable struts in the back.. i did get em on tonight. and on 10, it rides like crap, bouncing all over the place. but handles awsome. i havent driven it on any other setting yet, but jerking the wheel back and forth still makes only the front slide.
