OMG....I read your post and though it was on woot.com for a ridiculously cheap price. Congrats...you're gonna love that suspension!

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

lol does woot dot come usually sell shit like that for cheap?

HeavyDuty

Sheeeeit. Dial in that EDFC on 1 and it will bruise your kidneys and knock the fillings out of your teeth.

It's backwards from most other adjustables in that 1=stiff and...10?...20? = soft.

DerwoodEE

Very nice! But I thought you were selling this car?

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

i was going to, ended up sellin the corolla though and keeping this. Its more fun and I broke up with my gf so now I have nothing but the car again. hence why its getting new things :-P

DerwoodEE

LOL...good call.

kowloonsniperhk

she will treat you well when you dump money on her lol.

woot (dot) com sells everything...
i picked up a 17 foot little giant ladder from them for 129 instead of over 300 bucks...with 5 dollar shipping.

Yes, unless you've got kids and a wife and drive a lot and need the better fuel economy...selling the corolla instead was a great move!

Congrats!

I just realized the TEIN'S go further than 16 clicks...this morning I adjusted from the furthest point to the left (soft) and wow...the car is so smooth and soft now. I like stiff for spirited driving, but for practical every day use it's amazing you can be at 1 tight finger gap and be as soft as stock height. Tein is the bomb.

kowloonsniperhk

heh this is truly tempting.

biggamejk

can't wait to see the pics! nice purchace!

lol so i'm not sure how well my installation process is going.. long story short.. there was sawing, banging.. and now the front of my car clicks and bangs when I hit a bump.. almost like the spring is bouncing around. O I put the front shocks on the wrong side.. in the directions it doesn't state in order to reconnect you rbrake line you need to make sure you got the right shock on each side.. thanks.. well fux who wants to see pictures?

ed_423

Euro2JDM

what springs did you have on your car before? ill buy them off you

call me at 443 226 4501

sorry to hear about the install, did you do it yourself on the driveway or do you have access to a lift?

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

i was on a lift, lol you migh twant to hit up ron and get your number taken off here people google this shit, they're eibachi springs 1" here are some pictures though of some of what we did







then we ended up cutting the top of one of the stock shocks because the allen wrench slot was stripped from the guy who installed my springs.. great right?




yay time to put em in..


we failed.. it makes a bunch of noise and i got bolts left over lol were going back tomorrow to fix it and finish the rear

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

which btw heres the top of the rear shocks...

kowloonsniperhk

damn, whoever did your springs really stripped that nut off. don't remember having that much trouble when i installed my springs on my old TSX. i thought coilovers would be a bit easier. Did you take to those mechanic bays on base? just wondering since that guy was in ACUs

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

yeah i let him take my car and right after work i met em over there and we got started. its cheapy was likey $32 for 6 hours, tools and a lift

kowloonsniperhk

wow that's a good deal.

Farage

u should get them installed by a professional.

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

lol that was the original plan, and it might come down to that. my boys aid he knew how to do em so i thought we'd give it a shot. lol

DerwoodEE

Ummm....

WTF were you doing? Why would you have your scissor jack in there? And left over parts? You may not want to be driving your car if that's the case.

HeavyDuty

But seriously, y'all need to get a factory service manual or a subscription to alldatadiy.com

The cutoff wheel on the bench is kinda scary, unless you needed that to cut bump stops. That getup with the scissor jack is a good way to lose a finger, hand, etc.

Were there no spring compressors at this *shop*?

Have you ever heard about "My Buddy"? He's the guy who flies all over the world fvcking stuff up on other people's vehicles.

Dude, please, for everyone's sake, don't drive your car until you get it squared away.

Excelerate

iTrader: (1)

Enjoy the new parts.

Also, if anyone needs a set we have a couple of these still left in stock.

DerwoodEE

I think he said they had to cut the top of the stock strut.

Isn't this a lease? You planning on buying it out after your lease?

HeavyDuty

Oh, I see it now. The bumpstop comment was tongue-in-cheek, they're HD foam, just use a razor blade. I couldn't come up with anything else that should have been needed.

Man, Tish, next time if that happens, an impact can remove the nut without being dependant on the allen hole in the strut piston. The gun turns at a higher rpm than the piston can.

Dude, hope you get this fixed...quick.

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

hahaha, o the jack.. we couldn't get the fork off the bottom of the stock struts so we used the jack to push the wheel down pushing the strut out of the fork.

Thats a spring compressor right next to the saw.. and yes we had to cut the top of the stock shock off to get the bolt off to get the mount on the top of the spring for the tein's .. and naturally acura ( any of them in the area ) wouldn't be able to fix out boo boo till monday, so I might as well attempt some more tonight / this weekend.

No, its not a lease, actually only owe about 15 on it since I was thinking about selling it I kept throwing a lot of money at it.

All I know is i'm in a world of shit lol, and I am not driving it the vehicle is fucked beyond belief in terms of noise and loose parts its sitting at the shop just waiting to be lifted up and gone at again..

Which I can't even get the rearstrut bolts loose.. so I don't know how I'm going to manage to get the rear struts off.. but they look A LOT easier then the front struts lol

MrOtocinclus

All things considered, with your car and (ex) GF, I'd say you're in pretty good spirits!

Hope everything works out for you, soon.

Tishkevich

iTrader: (3)

Tried the impact!!! it didn't come off! haha It was miserable its sitting there on the table with everything else! lolol we tried everything, even tried hammering a 6 allen in the hole didn't work out

EUROBRO

congrats on yours i have my Tein SS fitted on my Australian Model as well bought it from MrHeelToe i think i'm currently the only Australian with Tein SS fitted on the Cu2, hell even the first with intake

march30th1988

hmm is this the tein SS-P (with extra front adjustable and cambers kit?) or is it just the regular Tein SS?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Dude...I think the jack under the car is normally better but obviously that can't be done on a lift. Please be careful...there aren't that many bolts to come off to be left with extra ones! Figure out what you forgot!

and btw...

you are LUCKY acura decided to give you an access panel to your rear struts...us 3G TL owners have to remove the entire rear seat and rear shelf just to get at the rear tops.

Tishkevich
