Wow sweet thank you for the info! That is exactly what i was looking for. Double adjustable that is not 5K lol.


A bit of an update on this car I removed the interior to find a horrable discovery the Point of the car where the Floor pan meets the trunk is almost runsted through. There was a bit of Rot in the Left fender well but the floor is making me question the if this will be a good donor chassis.

To add Insult to injury sounds like MAM may not reopen ever being flooded all summer I think damaged the track beyond repair.

Says who?

The track is still under water, which makes it tough to assess the damage to the facility. The water that has flooded it is ground water that has come up from below, not an out-of-the-bank river...which at least means there's no current flowing to erode anything.

Now, what happens with the stability of that saturated floodplain is another question....but until the water goes away, I wouldn't seal the coffin.

Unless you run very soft rates, which this car does not want. Koni yellows will not work.

You will want Koni 3011's or 2812's. It's going to cost some big bucks, but sorry to say if you can't afford the shocks you can't afford to race.

[Greg Amy]

...if you can't afford the shocks you can't afford to be at the competitive end of the field everywhere, but you can buy cheaper reasonable stuff and still have fun. Just set your expectations accordingly.

Fale.

Thank you sir for keeping me honest

but sorry to say if you can't afford the shocks you can't afford to race.

Says the guy who is no longer racing............... Stop being a Drama Queen Jeremy......


I think a better way of saying it is: It's not the optimal set up and won't put you at the pointy end of the pack but at least you will be out there having fun!!

Or, for the price of a really, REALLY good set of shocks you can buy a champioship winning ITA Saturn............

Right!!!!
What do you classify as soft rates. Can you tell me what rate these are valved for and what rates it would be best to use on track for the Integra. That would be very helpful in having a starting point. Also I dont see were they indicate that struts used are the Koni yellows. We used, based upon other experts, Koni 8611's which seemed to work well. They were not the $4000 struts we apparently need to race but they got us around the track and we actually raced with other cars, it was fun.

[Knestis]

I use Koni yellows on my Golf, but had them revalved by the race gurus at KONI to handle the 700# springs we run on the back. (EDIT - fronts are 500s, if I recall correctly.) It's probably not optimal but they get the job done. I don't think off-the-shelf valving is going to control more than 500# of spring but the motion ratios on the Integra are different than the struts on the Golf so Greg will know better.

[Jeremy Billiel]

Kirk is dead on... You can have Koni Yellows revalved and they are good for 500-700 lbs springs. I wouldn't recommend going much more than 600 though.. The shocks can not keep up well above 600 IMO.

Integras are running 700-900 lbs in front and 1100-1500 rear for a reference
