muscle2rice Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I just decided to change my ways and come to the dark side and traded my truck for a honda. Im workinging on it and rebuilding it to do about 13 down the track. One issue i dont want to have is honda bounce, but i would like to lower it if its possible. So does anyone know how to lower it but not get the honda bounce? Its a 94 del sol si if it helps to know, with all stock suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with Tein S.Techs with stock struts, very nice ride, and lowers it 2" in front 1.5 in rear. This was the first time I used them. I am on second Sol with them now!

mpearce1974 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 i have skunk2 coiloversand its pretty rough lol All coil overs are rough, Skunks I hear are some of the roughest. I say Tein S.Techs, or possibly Eibachs(sp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 If you're going to track it, then you shouldn't have any problems. I don't know of many tracks with cracks and potholes. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 moving this to the suspension section. i have eibach sportline springs with tokico hp shocks and dont really have any bounce. if youre going to be tracking it and using the car as a DD i would suggest getting some adjustable coilovers. that way you can adjust the height, and also the ride stiffness to your preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseCuster Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 right, but he wont have to worry about bounce on a track no matter what unless the track is the streets, in that case its a no no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 it seems like he's going to be driving it on the street as well. if it were going to be solely a track car, he would probably be shooting for a faster time than 13s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSaiJDM Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 moving this to the suspension section. i have eibach sportline springs with tokico hp shocks and dont really have any bounce. This is gonna be about the best you can do without spending a ton of money. That's the problem with most of these ~$1k coilover setups, they are stiff and they work on the track, but they suck daily driving. If you want to go LOW and have a good quality ride still, you are gonna have to either spend the cash on high quality suspension or make a sacrifice. You are gonna either have to deal with some amount of "bounce" or you are gonna not be able to go as low. My car nearly tucks tire and my car rides smoother on the street than it did with stock suspension, but it's much stiffer, but I also spent more than most people are willing to. I'd recommend what airjordan did here, and go with Sportline springs and good shocks, this will give you a decent balance between ride height and comfort.
