Ohhhh Suspension!

Yay more to update!

Well after 4 yrs of civic ownership, the best suspension ive so far managed to "roll" on is my ITR shocks and Tein springs.


No more :D

Having done a deal with an ITR owner who was selling up, im now in the possession of some Cusco Zero 2 shocks and Cusco Rear Camber adjusters!

Ohhh how blue and shiney!

$2380 worth of suspension for a mere £200 + my old ITR shocks :) Unfortunately they didn’t come with any C spanners or setup instructions. But fortunately my bro had some old Tein C spanners that fitted for the preload and donated to me, and his new apexi coil over c spanners are perfect for the height adjustment - so i took one and made a copy at work :)

So after a quick clean up and "service" (stripped down, cleaned, oiled and rebuilt) they looked thus:

And after some digging decided on the following "settings":

So I got home today and made a start on removing my temporary setup from Mr_Bens panda (some Group N rally shocks) over to Cusco shineyness!

Being 5 level’s of Adjustment ive currently set them all to Level 2 and ill see how that feels, I know for sure its going to need to settle, and then re adjust the ride height, and also ive yet to fit my rear camber adjusters - and they defiantly need to go on!

Oh and the compulsorily wheel shot
