    Default What Suspension Setup EK?

    What kind of suspension setup are you guys running on your ek? I was looking into getting coilovers on my ek hatch. I may consider getting better springs. What is the best drop for handling hight wise? With out to much scrubbing. Also what is the best way to eliminate the tire hitting the fender besides buying smaller tires? Fender rolling? Also what are nice strut/tie bars to use, that are priced well? All info would help. This is a 1997 Ek Hatch. As it sits it has eibach pros/ with koni struts.

    I got the Tein lowering springs on my hatch and it rides good as hell. Not too bumpy or anything but it doesnt seem like it lowered as much as it said it would. I also got a strut bar for free but dont know which kind prolly some cheap shit but with the springs and that you can def. tell a differance in handling

    roll your fenders and get a skinnier/thinner tire to prevent scrubbing

    Get some Ebay slip-over type coilovers, they're the best!!

    I've been running them on my CRX with stock struts for the past 3 years.
