I have just bought a Civic Coupe with full Delta 4 kit.

I have come across a slight problem, because of the size of the kit I can't get away with lowering it, yet because of the soft standard suspension I am really worried that the kit will catch if it hits a small bump or something.

My idea to fix the problem was to get some Koni yellow adjustables and whack the stiffness right up so it doesn't let the kit get close enough to the black stuff.

With standard springs would this be alright or do I need to find another way of doing it.

Any advice would be great,
Cheers,
Sean.

18" so relatively big.

I was thinking of also getting some custom springs made up to deal with the damping rate of the shocks and then get the hardest setting of shocks i can to keep it from bottoming out.

Will get some pics up as soon as I get the camera back of my parents. Corsa has sadly passed through many hands since I let go of it in January, and now I dont know who owns it. Sad really, still love that car, but I can see the new one making a huge space in my wallet.
