cornholio

i don't mind paying fellow TSX PRO to help me out, but the shop are too expensive, we will see

Dan Martin

How much do the shops charge?

cornholio

80/hr

approx 3hr

That's really not all that bad. Of course you could do it yourself but I guarantee it will take you most of a day to get it done plus you'd have to rent a spring compressor. I think for $240 I'd just take it to a shop and have it done. Does that price include an alignment after the drop? What about the installation of the camber kit on the rear? You need tools for that too...

cornholio

well they said 3-4 hrs and im pretty sure they will charge me $320, i HOPE i do not need a chamer kit, i'm planning to drop just 1 inch, because i do live in a townhouse complex w/ BIG ASS SPEED BUMPS...yes algnments and everythign included, the price i gave you is actually by woodbine acura.

cornholio

haha, but if JEFF has time, i don't mind saving some money and buy him dinner=]

Dan Martin

If I were doing any drop I'd go for the camber kit. $150 investment to save $600 in tires is pretty good value for money in my books. Since camber is non-adjustable on the rear OEM suspension any drop will affect camber.

cornholio

so you think even just an 1 inch drop i should still get the camber kit? what about the suspension u think the OEM can stand the 1 inch drop, prob won't last that long but it should still stand it rite?

Dan Martin

I say any drop should have a camber kit but I know several people here have dropped without one. There hasn't been enough time to determine how it affects their tire wear but I'm sure they'll notice that the inner edge of their tires is wearing faster than the outside edge.

The only components that will wear out faster on the stock suspension is shocks and bushings. Both are realitively inexpensive to replace and chances are you'd replace them with higher performance pieces anyways.

Haha. See the thing is. I really wouldn't mind doing it for you, it's just that I borrowed my friend's compressor and he took the compressor from work (those portable ones) But I'll holla at him at him and see if he could get it again. If you're in a hurry to install them. You could bring it to the shop where I got my RSX-S and my friend's RSX-S lowered for $100 bucks!!! And they did a good job!!! I guess if you have a Spoon NSX. Just installing springs can't be too hard!!!

cornholio

I have my lude lowered by Ray @ Gilman Auto in Scarborough and he is a Honda nuts too and he is honest & resonable price.

JeffTSX

Yeah Gilman is good. I'm planning to take my car there for an aligment. But cornholio already got his car lowered at some other place!!!
