Ten years later my suspension it completely shot. Besides buying the coilovers what else can I purchase. Bushing? ANything like that?

 

Here's what I got

Energy Suspension Hyperflex Polyurethayne Master Bushing Set
New upper ball joints (camber kit)
Front and rear sway bars with new bolts and bushings
Lower control arms (You can replace the top too if they're bad)
Coils
Strut braces top and bottom, and tie bar

The bushing is the #1 improvement that you can do, your rubber bushings are all shot and probably disintegrating like mine were

 

where did u get the bushing set and how much?

 

hows this?

and would the accord bushing kit replace mine. also. is there a reference guide to which bushing goes where? it seems like a lot of parts

 

That's the kit I have, the black kit. And yes there is a list of parts, and they come bagged in groups and are labeled.

 

whats exactley wrong man??

fuckin S.I. roads

 

damn, they dont ship to

 

where did you get your lower control arms?

 

Well after I ran over a hole n put a 6 inch gash on the tire I find out the OEM rim has a deep bend on both sides. Its pretty much trashed. I looked around for a replacement but couldnt find one or a set for a reasonable price. So i bought 2 new tires and put my 18" on. Now the tires are rubbing againslt everything every time i hit bump or anything. I hear the tire bounce.
Quick question. Are our shocks with oil?

 

yes..

 

then the passengers side shock its bleedin like mofo
best price i got on tein basics is $675
anyone have connections for a better price?

 

Are u convinced on getting Teins... No ksport or anything similar?

 

no. im stuck on teins
i need a nice drop which rides stiff for the roads here.
anyone???

 

werd4stiff

 

Tein basics aren't stiff they're soft as stock minus a tad, if you want stiff, get something else, and $675 is the best price I could find, but then decided to get SS instead

 

SS is a lot of money. I heard that teins had a stiff ride. U sure on that they aren't??

 

The basics are very soft, one of the closest to stock, think eibach prokit soft.

This was the only direct quote I could find without looking for long, heeltoe and excelerate both have sales of these goin.

"All the coilover kits include 4 shocks and 4 springs. The shocks are threaded so that you can adjust ride height. For a street setup you would probably get either the Basics or the Super Streets. The Basics are firmer than stock, but not stiff."

 

and u sure $675 is the cheapest price?

 

its the cheapest i've seen when i was lookin around for coils

 

The Basics do not come with top hats correct?

 

explain please
what will i need if i go with the basic or SS besides the coilovers

 

?

are you talkin about pillow mounts?

 

Right neither do the SS's That's why I'm gettin SS-P

You'll need to take the top mounting hat off your stock shock assemblies and mount them on the shock of the basics

 

^ thats balls

top hats ftw

 

Pillow mounts ftw

 

ya those too

 

yea thats soo fukin annoying.. it means that a 20 minute per strut installation become 40 mins per strut.. ESPECIALLY if its ur 1st time taking off ur stock struts, takes 45-60 mins per strut. (no air tools)

And if u buy pillow mounts/top hats its another $200bux.
Thats why i never bought Ksports from excelerate. the guy on another website sold his ksports for the same price with top hats..

 

That's the whole reason I didn't buy basics to replace my omni's cuz the omni's have the pillow mount. Plus I wanted to be able to adjust the damper so I went up to SS, realised they too didn't have top mounts, so moved another 2-300 up the chain to SS-P and that's what I'm trying to save for now

 

Then u have to save up for teh edfc..

Hahah u just keep getting the short end of the stick huh.. I have a connection at options-auto and even with my 'wholesaler' discount i still had to pay an extra $145 for top mounts..

 

Well you don't have to worry about that do ya

 

Its sad because its my 1st time traveling to the east coast in my life, and all i can think about it Omni's, engine dampers, ground kits, Stock h22 header vs aftermarket, new cat converters, and repiping my exhaust system.. statue of liberty, central park, i really dont care.. so sad..

 

when u do that let me know so i can race u

 

i just wanted to say..Fuck the North East!!!!!!! 4 of my flights got canceled because of weather. its 85 degrees out here.. And its 30 degrees with sleet there.. why would u live there?

 

family is too poor to move anywhere else.

 

i HATE this weather

 

ive been to the airport 4 times in the last day. Fuk snow..
and ghost, u dont need a lot of $$ to live here. u can live in decent spots for reasonable prices.

 

santa ana. lol

 

i must move to cali

 

if i can make it in cali by myself with no family members around then anybody can do it.

 

So you can get stuck @ airports
