would the tein superstreet coilovers for the 94-97 accord fit on my 3.2?

 

i dont see why they wouldnt but will it sag due to spring rate is another question.

 

isnt the ground control spring rates for the accord be just as soft?

i might just go with tokico struts and gc coilovers

 

There are GCs specific for the 3.2. It's just that they're really hard to come by.

~Cheers~

 

ok so get the struts for the accord and the gc for the tl right?

here are those tein coilovers that you where talking about

 

am getting the same coilovers and i dont see why it would sag if you can adjust it.. know what i mean.... if you would get lowering springs id see why it would sag. but with the tein coilovers i dont think soooooo

 

so does are cars have coil over already and why can you just adjust them

 

i think what bigwerm is talking about is the teins being adjustable.

bigwerm when are you planning on getting the teins? im still debating on what i should get and let me know how the teins ride after

 

It will sag if the spring rate is too low for the weight of our cars.

~Cheers~

P.S. Also, the CL link is for a different one. 2G TL stuff doesn't fit our cars.

 

yeah am saveing up some cashflow to get them i need bout 400 more bucks to go..lol...

 

also idk if my car will ride the same as urs cuz i got the 2.5 and u got the 3.2. and i think the 2.5 is lighter than the 3.2

 

You can't use the same suspension on the 2.5.

~Cheers~

 

the 94-97 accord suspention will fit the 2.5.... or why wouldnt it fit then...? my friend got a 96 4 door accord and everything looks the same...

 

IIRC, the fronts are different.

~Cheers~

 

i thought the 94-97 fits the 3.2?

 

They do, but bigwerm has a 2.5.

~Cheers~

Bumping this thread because I am in dilemma. My shocks are gone, car rides like a boad. Go90go know what I mean. So I am about to get new shocks but I wanna lower my car while I am at it. I came across these few springs/ground control's....

GC's

Springs..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_2676wt_939


Go90go told me to get springs with koni yellow's, but I can't seem to find Koni's anywhere.

Can I use stock shocks with GC's?? If not what are my options??

 

Well, I guess I found something....

you can use stock shocks with GC's but it will blow in a short amount of time then you're back to where you are now. thats how my setup was until i upgraded by taking undyroos advice to go with accord koni yellows paired with accord GC's.

 

with this kit, keep in mind that you wont be able to adjust the height of the car nor the dampening of the strut.

 

So B&G are OK shocks not the best.

This is the cheapest price I found for a set of 4 of Koni's....

If someone else is also looking for a set, try coupon code "koni09". Code already expired but whats wrong in trying....

 

hmmmmmmmmm I might just get that B&G S2K kit if I end up lowering the car.

 

^Get it. I am ordering Koni's as soon as I get seal of approval from Art (Go90go)....lol

 

Yea I think that will be my big mod next year.

 

One last question..

Sorry for stealing your pic Undyroos..

Right??...

 

^ No, it won't be that low at first. It'll settle in a month or so and maybe it'll be that height. You'll just have better stability in the corners, and a much better quieter tome over those potholes in Pittsburg.

~Cheers~

 

Yeah I wasn't comparing ride height, I just wanted to know if those two ingredients will make car low or I need some thing else.?? How about an alignment kit?? Do I need one?? I was checking colt45's thread about his lowering mods, he installed one too for the rear camber I guess. I am so scared of wearing my tires out quickly. Its my biggest pet peeve. I get alignment checked every 5-7 weeks. (gotta love lifetime alignment deal at firestone)

 

Got any comments on B&G lowering kit??

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-232413.aspx

 

Found some springs even more cheaper. No I am not buying these..

And I am talking about camber kit like colt45 installed in this thread..

at first i got a price for $490 shipped to hawaii but i guess i waited to long. so i got mines for $520. might be higher now. go to honda tech. theres always specials or group buys for a s#it load of things. you just gotta sign up for that forum.

 

Got any link that you can just point me to. I'll sign up right now and order my parts.

text it to me on my phone...RIGHT NOW.....lol

 

I already did this morning but no luck so far...posted in 4 different thread about konis on sale. not a single reply from any of the vendors.

 

Thread Revival:

After I get my car back from the body shop I am buying a few things for my 97 3.2TL:

_ CL-S rims (picking them up this week)
_ Coilovers
_ SPC Camber kit.

I need to know what is the dissenting opinion on the BEST all around suspension setup.

I am looking for adjustability, daily-driveability, performance, and longevity. I would say price is a secondary factor; however, I don't want to spend $1,400 on the Tein Kit if it rides no better than the koni-yellows and GC sleeves which are roughly half the price.

 

You are right on track. I'd say if you are on budget (under $1000 that is) pick up koni's for 94-97 Accord and get Ground Control kit just like Undyroos. He's got the perfect drop and ride, suitable for daily driving.


I am still waiting to get my springs/GC...

 

Thanks. I guess I'll be looking into some Koni's and GC sleeves when I get the car back from the shop
