well the benefit of FC suspension is on your side when you choose to use something like a kyb agx shock/strut.

because honda boys need spring rates higher than 550 to keep their cars plated stiffly, the FC only needs 350 front and 275 rear and maybe a little more if you want to keep ti as flat as a board for track duty. these lower rates are perfectly within the range that a kyb agx can handle over and over without chancing failure like so many honda boys run into when running overly stiff springs for the kyb agx. its all a result of suspension geometry so you shouldnt fear the kyb agx on an FC, theyre a nice setup and paired with the best rates for your use they will probably be the best choice for the cost.

DAMN YOUR CAR IS JACKED!
hahha I agree you may have some non-stock springs in there. even when my FC had no engine the front didnt lift up that high.

good luck on the project!

lol It was much much higher when there was no engine.

I have been looking at coil overs and it looks like they only lower a max of two inches. If this is from stock than they will help me, but I don't really want to spend money or put heavy coil overs on my car.

I looked at pics of stock springs and they seem identical, but what do I know.

Mabey I'll just put in a really heavy cage... heh

how low it goes depends on which model coilover you go with.

but generally full coilovers will go much lower than your typical pre-packaged spring kits.

Are you sure it's a sport? The Sports had T2 springs which sat about an inch lower than the base or GXL springs. When I got my 86 Sport, it had a cracked rear spring. I couldnt find a wrecked turbo or Sport and I didnt have the cash for new springs so I put GXL springs on it. My pass. side rode about an inch higer and looked like crap. With the interior stripped and no exhaust, I could believe those are stock springs.

IMO, you do not need a super lowering, I think just replacing those springs with stiffer lowering springs or coilovers will solve the problem. You could always pick up a used set of whatever springs are popular for FCs and give those a try. You won't really lose any money on the deal to experiment that way.

Im 100 percent sure its a sport model. I think it says on the title. It had the black rubber spoiler on it and I spent a long time matching up all the options in the sticky.

I am going to try camber caster plates first, I think that will solve 1-2 inches of the problem. If its still bad I may buy some tannabe gf210s or something.

I will probably get kyb agx's on sleepyheads reccomendation.

you might be able to pickup a set of coilovers from megan racing or similar for under a grand and brand new that will give you loads and loads of adjustability and only end up being a few hundred bucks more than if you went with kyb's and some springs.

man oh man I love the FC sport, rock on!
