Originally posted by OttoI'm really eager and interested to learn more about suspension in both daily driving and performance, especially relating to my car. So any info will be greatly appreciated.
when doing upgrades...lots of research, user reviews and unfortunately price come into play...im not saying that u can't get good products of cheap, but this is usually not the case.
regarding ur car not taking corners as well as u wanted....a rear sway bar will go a long way...even if you have softer springs, sway bars will reduce that dreaded family sedan rollDEVOTE

yeah used parts are great for emergency parts replacement...when money is an issue...
but if u want a serious suspension build, and are saving money...might as well go with brand new stuff...they might be more reliable...DEVOTE

Response to Illuminas vs Koni
I've had the pleasure of owning both sets of shocks, but I had different springs with each set. The illumina's i actually had the same setup as in the article. Progress Springs, and Illuminas. I loved em!!! Handling was great, shocks were stiff. Oh it was a fun car to take through the canyon.
The second set, I have the koni yellows with neuspeed race springs (aka super cup kit) This set is a little better than the illuminas IMO. But i also have a rear ST sway bar, and with this setup the car loves to hug the road.
I would say that the first setup is a 7, and the second is a 9. out of 10 of course. Ive had my Cb for a while... i love it.
Sold, but not forgotten.

i mean...all they changed was the front number, headlight and grill...*shrugs*
but it looks fucking sexy and i want it.
thats not all they changed...look closely....
lets start with the front
ok..
Headlight lense cover is more curved than the 90-91
grill is a little different...its contoured to fit the 92-93 headlights..
corner lights are a litte different than the 90-91s
front bumper...different
bumper lights OBVIOUSLY different!
INTERIOR
only things different is the arm rest and the steering well center ( airbag inside )
REAR
the trunk lid and tails
and thats it
as far as I can see
oh yeah..and the additions:
its got EXTERNAL coil...and ABS and AIRBAG system ( 92-93 )
so yes, the 1992-1993 cbs are a bit more modern than the 1990-1991 cbs..but I still love em all
personally...I would love to find a good condition RUNNING 1992-1993 EX or SE coupe!
for under $3500!!!!Last edited by SN2BH22CB7; 03-16-2007, 12:04 AM.92 LX. A6 with GUDE bullfrog Cam. M2S4 transmission..Gutted H23 intake mani. The rest you will just have to find out!

yeah...the authors definitely made it interesting with big/wide wheels....but 16" are good enough for our chassis.
If anything, for daily use, wider wheels are better than larger diameter...DEVOTE

.932G's! wow, I didn't know my car was capable of that. I guess I under estimated my setup. I've got AGX's with ground controls along with 215/45r17 fuzions so i guess im pretty close to there
