sorry for re-threading !! but my last thread was closed after not even 24 hours and didnt even say why ! and the last dude "maiyumi_chan" who said he had both prokits and teins's doesnt accept PM so i had to repost ! i searched in all relative threads and couldnt get a proper answer so .. i thought the tein's is more of a drop and not as comfortable as the prokits? i might have to go for the comfort as appose to looks so plz lemme know before this one is closed ! (why?)
ps i got kyb agx's from ebay this was the only one i found for the cl's so is this what fits the 3.0 ?!
tanx

 

just called the acura dealer ship and i was told that the struts for the 97 2.2 is a totaly different design !!! so im not sure if that ebay link up there is accurate.

 

They're the same, you can get those

 

^^ heehee im actually a girl, not a dude. LOL! but anywho, did you have a question? i'd be glad to help =) (i actually dont know why i cant accept PM's... maybe i have to past a posting amount i think.)

 

YOu need to get past 20 posts

 

You couldn't find this info by searching?

It's been covered many times over.


The noob guide also specifies what ones fit what model.


Go with the teins if you want a lower drop, eibach if you want a little drop with a more stock feel.

 

Is large orange print on the first page not obvious enough?

Read and enlighten yourself.

 

eilbach sportlines or tein s-techs.

 

ohh wow! i had better stop lurking and start posting!

 

yeah well i found out about this but i also found out that eibach will not be an even drop front and back !! so although thats what i need .. a more comfortable ride but then i dont want the car to look all wierd ... ! thats the problem. teins are 2" drop right ?

 

thax for enlightin me .. if u have a look u will see im not really a noob and that didnt help me .. it doesnt say what the hell to do when the eibach's will have my car sitting lower on the back !!!!

 

im sorry .. my bad.
would u happen to have a picture of ur car with the teins and with the prokits ?
and how bad was the prokits at the back .. is it obvious that it sits lower ?
i guess the streets in hawaii are way better than ours over here and the teins are the right choice ! but im not sure about them over here ! tanx for the helo btw.

 

hey dude .. the sportlines wont drag the back of the car like prokits ???
ps i guess they sit lower and stiffer than the prokits aswell right ?

 

hey dude .. i called some other dealers and they all said that the 2.2's and 3.0's dont have the same shocks .. so what the hell !!???
im trippin over here casue i really cant afford experienceing diff stuff right now !

 

They have different shocks for the different weights of the engine. The mounts and everything are the same. The KYB/AGX that you're looking at will fit either 2.X or 3.0 since you can adjust the stiffness to what works for your car. If I were you I'd get the tein S techs, they feel pretty soft too, especially with the KYB/AGX you can't go wrong with that combo.

 

Its not that the back sits lower. Its in optical illusion (im being serious). I have the Teins. The front fenders are cut higher, making you think that the back is sitting lower. My drop is pretty much flat, but I have more wheel gap in the front, than I do the rear.
All these pics are with the Teins.

tanx buddy i appreciate the help.

 

car looks great .. i think thats the setup i want .. although i have 225.45.17 'a on the car .. would i be better off with some adjustable camber kits or leave it the way it is ?
hvnt found anything for the v6's online nwayz !

 

You def want adjustable camber kit, but you'll be alright with 17's don't sweat it. If you rub, just get 40 series tires

 

The camber kits are universal, anything for a 94-97 accord will work, it's just ball joints and /or control arms

 

eibach sportlines ftw...good drop and fairly good tight ride

 

If you look at the last pics with the rims, that is also the tire size that I have. That is also with the AGX's. You having a v-6, your front end will dip a little lower due to the weight of the engine. Which IMO will make your drop look a lot better than mine.... I have a camber kit. The ingalls one. Just in the front though. Nothing is needed on the rear.

EDIT: Im sure Justin (Klepto) will stick his nose in here telling you to slam it do the earf and tell you "negative camber FTW" with his camber kitless self...

 

great help people .. i am buying all this stuff hopefully tonight . will post pics as soon as everything is done .. since we are on the upgrade subject what should i grab for my intake .. cold ? short ? ram ?
while im at it, i might aswell !

 

what do u guys think of this kit ? ebay camber kit

 

Good luck with everything, so you're going with the S-Techs or what? How much are you paying for everything,

and a rule for ebay, non moving parts = yes, moving parts = no.

 

I'd go SPC or Ingalls man, I went Ingalls front and rear. Hope you're happy with everything

 

 

wow! another girl! keke.. nice to meet ya heh

and on a another note... the suspension thing IS in the n00b guide.. i believe..

 

The suspension thing is in the noob quide, to an extent. The drop in inches is in there for many of the popular springs, which is what I thought he was asking for.

 

HAHAHA! wow, i guess being a girl changes everything huh? haha just kidding. nice to meet you too. i can post pics of my car LOL!

 

hey i dont know what spring you gonna buy but i wouldnt recomend ibach it sitting three finger gap in the front and a little less then two in the back i use to have ibach on didnt like it lurk around forum and find out that neuspeed give me more drop without givin up ride quality so think about it man, plus neuspeed still didnt give me the low i need but thats good enough unless i want to go to tein coilover which is too much for an acura. and chan are you really a girl? can you pm me and prove this? hehehe jk welcome to the forum

 

thanks for welcoming me guys but i think i posted too much in this thread and i didnt even contribute anything! LOL! sorry "wolfboy"! (and yes, i promise i am a girl).

 

i think a lot of the guys on this forum want to see picture of you and your car to see which one is sexier then the other...

 

man.. speak for yourself .. keke..

i just wanna see pics of her.. LOL.. j/p

 

ahhh come on guys! is it custom for the girls of acurazine to post pics of themselves? LOL jk!
although i really need to stop whoring up this thread!!!!! i'll make a new one and post pics.







(pics of the car that is. )

 

Hurry up with it too...Ill just add you on myspace for now. how about that? well hurry. and stop reading this post.

 

haha u see .. something good came outa my thread . . and u guys go and block my last one ...
and maiyumi, u can do whatever u want with my thread or anything else mine !!! wink wink, nudge nudge ...

 

 

This is covered elsewhere, but..

I have the Prokits and it's a fairly conservative choice.. 1.3 inches makes for a very streetable car but still a lot less suspension travel than stock, and you don't need a rear camber kit, they will need to adjust toe-in and that's it. 1.7 or 2.0 inches drop you will scrape your muffler a lot and it ends up looking like race car. For ultimate performance I will take the Tein SS or Koni Yellow. If it was 1.7 inches and you don't want coilovers I would take H&R Sport over Eibach Sportline

As for the difference in ride height front to rear, the gap is still different like it was before lowering I don't think it matters which kit unless the inches drop is listed as different front to rear
