What's up

[bhannah510]

Hey everyone new to the forum here. I'm from Fort Collins and have had my sti for about 4 years now. Work so much don't really have time to drive it or do anything with it. Still has about 40k on the clock but would like to start messing with it soon now that work has slowed down. Either way here is a pic. Only thing done to it is ksport circuit pro suspension which was not that good of a choice and some Volk Gt-7 rims

Welcome to IGOTASTI!

4 years? 40k miles? 2 mods?!
Are you enjoying the car?! :lol:

What do you not like about the ksport circuit pro suspension?

 

[bhannah510]

I love the car, just don't have much time to drive it. Now I'm no hardcore suspension guru and I know it's a track suspension and should assume the ride to be rough, but factor in the clunking I have been getting and the inability to make the suspension ride just a tad bit smoother then a rock glued to the floor. I have tried every one of the 16 dampening selections and it don't seem to change anything. As you can see it's not slammed, my camber is actually about -1.4 so it's nothing outrageous.The car has also had a very detailed alignment multiple times. On its second set of tires, which did help a little. So take that for what it is. I did have ksport on my prelude 10 years ago and it was awesome. So when I was looking at suspensions for my sti that was the first thing I looked at, and for under a grand, couldn't beat it. Oh well.

Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy your time here!

As far as ksport suspension, it's always been kind of a generalization that they ride about as graceful as an empty dump truck down a gravel road. Most Coilover setups are generally a pretty stiff thing, so if comfort is more of your goal, I'd consider a set of good struts and RCE or Swift Springs.

Welcome to the forum. She's a beauty.
I looked at your coilovers spring rate and 16k/896 lbs!!! No wonder you hate it! Not at all a street setup as its way to stiff for anything other than perfect tracks. I'd dump those asap in favor of a 300-450 spring rate.

^ yeah that's a problem for the street. Who does that?!

Even on the track, you'd want/need much stickier tires to take advantage of that spring rate. And if you were doing that you'd probably change around lots of other things like sways (although with that stiff you wouldnt want huge bars), bushings, etc...

Just an interesting choice, did you pick those or the PO?
