Thanks alot for the info guys. I'll prob stick with the stocks for awhile and see how it goes!

 

No prob. Yeah that's what I did, until I got tired of the ride and invested in some decent coilovers. I had about 90k on mine when I sold them.

 

My car doesn't feel underdamped at all with almost 50k, countless autocross events, half of the car's life being on Detroit streets (10x worse than here), and another quarter on downtown Seattle's roads.

My Koni Yellows didn't have clicks. Their compression was also fixed.

I didn't post just to disagree with you. I threw in my $0.02 because I've talked w/Danny before and got the impression that his car is more street than track-oriented. The Koni's are a good shock, but unnecessary for a street car IMHO.

 

Ya not planning on tracking at all. Just street and cruising!

 

^^ you should cruise your way up north some time!

 

Yeah I know I need to, just been busy with work! Work is overrated

 

Not sure why threads always turn into personal mud-slinging sessions. Anyway, I'll throw up my experience as well back when I had a 92 Civic hatch. I had Newspeed springs (2" drop) on Tokiko shocks (sport shocks, a bit more dampening than stock) and didn't like the ride at all. It was way too soft and bouncy.

My friend also had a Civic hatch had H&R springs with the Koni Yellow shocks that Junky recommended. I loved his ride! The ride felt more controlled and there was significantly less body lean in hard turns. The 4-way adjustability is always a bonus to fine tune.

Granted, those were Civics with different springs and shocks. I think you will want to ride in some member cars with different spring shock setups and see if you're happy with the ride. Everyone's preferences are going to be different.

 

I don't know why I'm chiming in on a subject that's so easily verifiable, but I can confirm (1) that Koni Sports / Yellows are 1-way adjustable in rebound, not 4-way adjustable, and (2) that that rebound adjustment is infinite over a few turns of the adjuster, and does not have distinct clicks.

"n-way" adjustable refers to the number of discrete adjustments that a shock has, not how many clicks there are in a given adjustment. 1-way adjustable shocks are generally adjustable in rebound only. 2-ways are generally adjustable in both compression and rebound. 3-ways are generally adjustable in high speed compression, low speed compression, and rebound (where "high speed" and "low speed" refer to the speed of shock compression, not of vehicle travel). 4-ways are generally adjustable in high speed compression, low speed compression, high speed rebound, and low speed rebound.

 

and btw, having your shocks revalved 2,3 way is a small fortune

 

It wouldn't be PacNW S2Ki if it didn't ...I'm a hypocrite because I'm guilty of this too, but really, it seems like the e-peen's get whipped out too frequently around these parts, hah.

This is what I think of when I hear "4-way adjustable." That's why I got mixed up.

Long story short, just get springs. LawLz.
