Front D2's are on. Backs tomorrow hopefully. Teaser pic:

 

jealous, can't wait to put my d2's on, lemme know how they ride after u get the backs on

 

looking good so far on the drop. i like it low

 

Your emblem looks nice in that pic Zero

 

The ride is great. It's fairly stiff, but not bad or bone-jarring. I'd call it "sporty." My girl said it's "kinda bumpy," haha. I haven't been up to high speeds now that the back ones are on, but even with just the fronts the body roll is just about gone. Once I have some money again I'm taking it to a shop to get it aligned and the camber kit installed because the bushings need to be pressed out.

Would you be able to put something in the n00b guide regarding the D2's? The brake line clips that they include are far too short. You either need to add on to them, or do what I did and secure the brake lines with zip ties.

 

^^^ lol disregard my post from you thread.

 

It's like that on all accord coils I think, I just ziptied mine too

 

Yeap. Ziptie them.

 

Sure!

 

pfft, I used zipties to compress my spring....

I blew a damn strut this weekend. It was an agx, with 10k miles on it. I think a manufacturing defect

 

 

^ x2 haha

why did you need to do that?

 

because the compressor we had didn't fit the front springs. so me and Playaha8ta had to ghettolized it. lol we lost an allen wrench because of it. FYI don't do it. if you do make sure you have some strong shit. ours broke.

 

hahaha..man, that sucks. glad you didn't get hurt.

we tried to use a coil spring compressor saturday to compress my front springs. that was a bad idea. The one we had was forked with the rod through the middle. we put the forks through the rungs of the spring and around the strut rod. If you can picture it in your head you already know how bad of an idea that was. it started slipping off of the spring as we were compressing it. I comressed the spring about an inch and a half and I decided to release it and wait until today to bring it to a shop. i bet i could have used about 20 or so zip ties to hold it

 

I'm getting some sort of banging sound from my right front. It doesn't happen when i'm on the accelerator, it'll happen if i'm braking and let off the brakes while i'm not on the accelerator. Then from a dead stop, 1 hard knock when the car starts moving. Any clue to what it could be?

 

shitty tie rod? wheel weight off?

 

def not the wheel weight, could be the tie rod though, i did an alignment on my car in class a lil while back, but i def had all the shit super tight.

 

I just finished my first term paper, what an awful past two weeks that was. School sucks.

/rant.

 

I had a tie rod rotted out once, but it got progressively worse the more I accelerated, especially around 60, when i got it check out, my wheel was about to fall off. Definitely have your stuff looked at.

 

I just drove the most retarded car today, bar none.
My buddy picked up a swapped 2000 Integra.
Fully fuilt JDM Type R engine, High Compression pistons, Toda Killer Cams,Indivdual Throttle Bodies, Stage 3 clutch, Short Shifter, DC header into straight pipe, no Cat exhaust....all slammed on Skunk2 Coilovers and Falken Azenis tires. Also a fully gutted trunk and CF hood.
It's funny how it's got a Type R cluster and if you shift at the stock redline, 8.5K IIRC, you almost fall out of VTEC. It redlines at 10K. Completly amazing. My car feels like a Geo metro in comparison.

 

can we please get pics/a vid? Those toda killer cams are ridiculous.

 

You just use a heavier guy to put his weight on the spring, while the other one takes off the bolt up top.

 

i'll try, no guarantees though

 

nah, we wanted to be real and used the zipties. well the springs have been on for about a year now.

 

wow, I have spring compressors and don't even need them for anything, zip ties just seem a bit flimsy to me, i must be the only member left on here that remembers dustbuster's stitches on his forehead from uncompressing a spring

 

"Then from a dead stop, 1 hard knock when the car starts moving. Any clue to what it could be?"

dainfummus i have that too man. i also have a squeeking sound from the front right side of my car.

 

i believe after awhile, those zip ties are just gonna snap

 

yea try 5 mins. thats how long it take for our allen wrench to take flight.

 

ahahahah

 

hey chris (blackack) you ready for a socialist lifestyle.

 

Zip it or chris will be forced to R&P it!

 

gotta catch them all(electoral votes)

 

I know I'm not

But oh well.

 

Seriously thanks to all the people of america for raising my taxes and raising my capital gains on my retirement that was already hurting, can't wait to see how he spends a trillion of new money

 

idk how and the shit PA votes Blue. i blame philly and shitsburgh for that.

hey chris i did my part. i voted all column B (which is all GOP in NJ)

United Socialist States of America

 

SOOO back to car stuff... I need to soften my D2s up a bit, but I'm already scraping the lip during normal driving (PA roads FTL) so I need to be careful not to go too soft. MFer handles like a dream though, it's obvious these are racing springs.

 

Any idea what you have the shocks to yet?

 

No, no idea. I'm going to try to contact D2 directly or a popular D2 dealer to see if they know.

 

Call their 800 #

 

hahaha OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT! i hope he doesn't get assassinated!
