What do the techies think of this suspension?
Koni Yellow Struts + Eibach Prokit Have at it!

Good street setup, but those Eibach springs are going to be really soft for autox or track, FWIW.

They are going to be REALLY soft? What is a plausible alternative that would be a more street/track alternative, or is there one?

koni yellows, ground control coilover setup, ground control custom rate springs (around 400lb/in would be good).

i rode in RJ's old integra peice when he had something like 800 lb/in springs in the rear and it actually felt quite tolerable on the street

you need revalved konis to run 800lb/in though.

Audi TT that I instructed last weekend had that setup, along with a bigger rear bar. Handled very good.
Maengs Integra has Eibachs and a rear bar. Handles very good. Super stiff spring rates are not necessary for good handling. A dedicated race setup is a different story, but last I heard, Jack-o hasnt even come close to a real race track.
