Hey guys, this is my first post here! First off, let me say that I love the site! great info here for anybody who's a honda fan!
Now, I just picked up a 91 EF hatch (super used, 215k, 400 bucks) that I'm planning on completely rebuilding over the next year or 2.
I have a good friend who's been building Honda's for nearly 10 years and he recommended that my first upgrade should be my suspension.
so...I've been looking around and since I'm a college kid and don't feel like blowing big money (or have it to blow, for that matter!) I'm probably going to go with either a Tokico Blue or Illumina Full Coil-Over kit.
So...what else do I need to pick up before I can install the new suspension? I know I will replace the control arms eventually, but I was really wondering if I needed a camber kit right off the bat? and if so, do I need both front and rear immediately?
also, any recommendations of what camber kit to use with the Tokico suspension?
sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I did a brief forum search and couldn't find an answer...
and before you guys ask, here's my short list of shit I want to put on my hatch:
d16z6 motor (I've got my eyes on junkyards, gonna grab one used, and build it up completely from scratch)
Full Coil-Over suspension
Enkei evo 5 wheels (I have a hookup at Enkei, so I can get them cheap)
Full JDM SiR body panels (front/rear bumper, skirts, fenders, front and rear lips)
Apexi WS2 exhaust
Cold Air intake
that's the short list...anyway, help with the suspension please!
