Installed Koni's; I love these things. Pics!
Before, I never really placed a huge priority on shocks, but after realizing that my factory shocks sucked so bad after 92,000 miles, of which 30,000 of those was with the comptech springs, i decided i should pop for them. I love them so far, and now I will never do springs without doing the shocks too!!!
During the install, I was quickly reminded just how much i hated installing the springs.![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I got the Neuspeed/Koni's, shortened rod and 5-way ride height adjustable was a seller for me.
The Comptechs are supposed to drop the front 1.75 and the rear 1.5, making a camber kit no-so-necessiary. But as we all know, those were the Accord numbers, and the rear on our cars is a little heavier. So it dropped a little less than 1.75, making my rear camber -0.9. Unfortunately, after putting my box in the trunk, it dropped it even lower and screwed the camber.
So the Koni's solved that problem. The rear Koni's were set to the top notch on the shock, raising the rear .5 inches, allowing me to be at the original planned drop of 1.5 in the rear. The front Koni's were dropped .25 inches, I wanted that little extra and I had the extra play in the camber.
So now, the rear is dropped 1.5 like it’s supposed to be, and the front 2.0. It looks great![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I set the firmness at about 60% or 70%, its pretty bouncy, reminds me of my buddies M5, but I really like it, and its so much more fun now eheheheheheh...
I have a lot of noise coming from the front left assembly, so I gotta check that out. And I broke a stud of the front left wheel too. Whoops.
Heres the pics!
