thx

i hear a lot about "FD" for rx7.
what does it stand for exactly?

EDIT
oh nm. i just found on some forum (surprisingly, i never did before) that it's the type for rx7 3rd gen. no wonder the letters never clicked with FF, FR, etc. it's all cool now

So i've decided to go with Tokico illumina struts and H&R springs. Thinking of getting this setup as soon as i start my summer job,

I've got tein s-techs on mine, and the drop is not over 2 inches, dropped about 1.8 and 1.5 I believe, Tein's should also be less expensive than H&R, nothing bad to say about H&R or Eibach, go with one of those 3 definitely

lotusvale

from personal experience,
i'd say :
1) tein (more look perfect drop for me, less performance)
2) h&r for more performance.

I'm thinking I should get rid my Teins, wanna autocross this year and don't think spring rate is high enough, any opinions?

buy H&R and try both at a track event. then sell the ones you like least. yeah it'll cost a lil money, but that's how you figure out what's best. Or you see the top 10 Civic auto x'ers and find out what THEY run (cuz they already did the research for you). Spend more time with gatherer and you'll find out.

I know most of the guys are running coilovers, stewpidass has ground control sleeves on Koni shocks, but Im pretty sure that straight spring/strut setup would/should work alright, only speculation though

can't say man... I run full coilovers too and I used to have ground control...

no idea what Tein springs are like, but I def like H&R

check the P&S archive, there is a thread there with spring rates, then ax stewpiddass what rates he has on his GC.

i heard teins were for looks only because they aren't that much stiffer than stock. and i'm curious about the ride on the H&R's. anyone have experiences with both? i don't really want something on the soft side but a little stiffer would be nice.
