Want to upgrade Civic EJ9 suspension

[acel]

HI guys & gals,

ITs already 2 mths now since I got my 2nd hand EJ9. Upto now there is no problem at all.

But there is one area which Im now looking at for upgrade, the suspension.

My ride now is on factory setup. Everything is stock. My question is:-

1) Does the EJ9 come with double wishbone or Macpherson setup? If any of you who has literature on 'double wishbone' setup, kindly forward to me or could post it up here.

2) I feel that my suspension is too soft, in a way lots of body roll. So I dunno this is normal or not, or it could be my absorber kaput, after all its 4 yrs already.

3) If the absorber kaput, then Im considering KONI to match with my stock spring. How many type of KONI available for our EJ? I heard there are red and yellow available for EJ. Also found out that KONI is xpensive and does not last long.

How bout another brand call TOKICO? How they perform?

Anyone with such setup who can also extend ur review. Or suggest other better combo that you guys had try.

All input are welcome.

Cheers :)
