OHLINS suspension.


I have non DFV ohlins 2 way on my ek.

20kg front eibachs
16kg rear eibachs

Cusco upper rose joint top mounts on all 4

Very simple, nothing comes close to how flat these keep the car, and how much feedback you get from them.

1 bad thing I found with them is in a boosted civic with no power steering, if ur not driving properly they will find the ditch before you do.

They are extremely camber sensitive which is very good for racing.

Note* this could also be because I'm running such heavy spring ratings.

Only other brand I would compare to ohlins is nitron.

Hope this helps.

Stock Valving?
 
swift springs are awesome. had them on my tein N1s, which I believe were the only set in the country as far as I'm aware of. I sold them onto DrMikey a few years ago who used them in his k22 ek9 in the Nippon Challege. I now have a set of jdm fitment ohlins with cusco topmounts now.
 
Are they better than TEIN?
I think it all depends to what you want to get ... as long as it meets your needs.
Stainless steel construction , Teflon coateing for anti-rust , reservoir tanks , spring rates , upper pillow mounts etc etc.
I don't think you can go wrong with Tein Mono Flex or whatever those series are called. They are just incredible if u can customize em.

Other superb brands are: Quantum, Zeal , JIC Magic , Crux , Showa , Fightex , Aragosta ,Nitron
 
reviving an old thread to ask a new question;

how low do these go>? not that I want to slam my ek9 but I do ride a little lower than most.

You asking how low Ohlins go? From what I know they can go pretty low (as with most coilovers) but when I think of Ohlins I think gold standard in performance with road comfort in mind. The right balance.
