Unhappy

Does anyone know if you need better suspension in the front of a 93 CX for a B20 swap? I would assume yes. I was planning on going like ground control or tein but I'm just not to familiar with what I might need. I will be autocrossing in the summer and basically driving it everyday.

Any suggestions?

It weighs about 75 lbs more than your single cam. Any aftermarket suspension setup will be fine. Spring/Shock, coilover sleeve/shock, or full coilover.

Anything aftermarket is fine, although mild springs like Eibach Pro-Kits will tend to sag after a while... the spring rate on mild springs is low enough to cause your front end to droop a little from just 75 more pounds.

An adjustable coilover spring setup at the very least is always a good bet.
