Suspension will be more fun that some crappy bolt-ons. $800 could buy you a very nice setup that will make the twisties a lot more fun.

I got mine from www.redshiftmotorsports.com. Their customer service is excellent. Any idea on spring rate, or are you going to just get the OTS spring rate?

I suggest OTS spring rates, especially considering: a) you don't know what spring rate you want, b) the roads suck total ass in Socal, and c) I am assuming this is a daily driver that doesn't want comfort to suffer as a result of a higher rate.

Yea your right.... cause first of all i dont know anything about spring rates... so i wouldnt know what does what. Secondly, yes, a lot of roads suck ass over here so it can be a bumpy ride..... and thirdly, i am going to be using this as a daily driver which i wouldnt mind losing some comfort, but to a certain extent. So you think the OTS rate would do for me. Can the spring rates be adjusted later?? and the koni yellow are adjustable right.... i can adjust the height as well as the stiffness?

Yes, you can adjust the height and rebound of the shock. If you want stiffer springs down the road, you will have to call up Eibach and order some stiffer ones. The OTS rates should be just fine for a daily driver that sees no to minimal track use.

The P72 has knock sensor and IAB support, the P30 has knock support, and the P28 has neither. As long as you don't care about a knock sensor or IAB's, the P28 will run the car the same way a P72 or P30 will. You can also disable the knock sensor and IAB support through any Honda ROM editor.
