Post your ride setup

Just wanted to get general info from all about your suspension wheel setup. I recently had a bad experience for not having a camber kit and posted that in the wheels section. Just 5 answers would be great. Here are the categories

1. Suspension Brand/Model Name/ Approx Drop
2. Wheels Brand/ Diameter/ Width/ Offset
3. Tire Size and Rating ie: 245/50 16 Hrated Tread 400
4. Sways/Strut Bar/Camber Kit?
5. Scale 1-5 Howyour after mod ride feels after mods compared to stock
Traction Comfort Body Roll Lower # is better for Body Roll


My setup.

1. Mugen Coilovers/1.5" Drop

2. Enkei MM2/18"/ 7.5"/ 50

3. Bridgestone S0-3 s 225-40 18 Z rated Tread 220

4. NOt Yet, Will install next all 3 shortly

5. Traction + 4, Comfort -1, Body Roll -3

THanks Guys. I asssume you are both saying your traction is better and that it barely rolls/sways but are you also saying your ride is more comfortable?

3. stock
4. Comptech Sways, Cusco Upper Strut, Cusco Lower Arm...one bar away from finishing...
5. Traction + 4.5 (despite stock tires), Comfort -2.5, Body Roll -4

NighthawkBlack: I am very, very interested about the Mugen Coilovers that you have on your car. I assume you are running the Accord model. Do you have pics? Also what is the spring rate for the Mugen Coils that you are running...I assume since they are for the Accord, you must be bottoming out...but then again they because of the level of adjustments they have...I figure they must be race coils thus higher spring rate that can compensate for the weight of the TL.

Well the Mugen coilovers I have are specifically for the INspire/Saber/TL. I don't know if they make them anymore but I got them new almost a year ago and have been driving on them for about 10 months. Don't know the specifics on the specs, I'll have to look them up.
