these will fit the 7th gen coupe for sure you can use the stock top hats...

OEM springs are cone shaped where as these springs are straight like a cylinder. if your friend has a 7th gen top hat sitting around then i wouldnt mind taking one of the coilover off to test fit it for you.

the BEST option i would recommend your friend find a set of pillowball top hats (they ARE sold separately) that are made for the 7th gen. then we can easily do it. and I would do the work for you at my dads shop for a slight fee.
it still works vimal! i had stock top hats on my tein SS worked like a charm. only issue is the spring rates are on the lighter side for the 7th gen...

btw how much you geting the FF type 1's for? i got a brand new set from an authorized dealer at around 5 bills let me know i can look for the receipt and find there number.

see thats the thing. i HAVE to buy from an authorized reseller in order for the warranty to be valid. FF wont honor the warranty if you buy from an unauthorized seller.

anyways, im still trying as hard as i can to get the AMRs first. they're more expensive but they're the best damn coilovers for the accord.

and their listed as one of f2's dealers.

he was asking 660ish? online for them, but i said ill give u 550 cash if you let me pick them up from you. so no shipping or tax and alot cheaper!

well it looks like im going to ditch the F2s. i just got the deal for the AMRs!!! going to be paying a little more than i wanted but in the end its still cheaper than me rebuilding/revalving my teins and getting new shorter and stiffer springs.

for the amount of work i was about to put into my teins, i could have bought F2Type1 and had change left over. so now im going to use that money+the money for the coilovers themselves and buy the AMRs. im so excited, cant wait!!

then when wekfest comes around in February, gonna be dumped!!!

Basically allows you to roll your windows back up with your keys. Looks simple to do but I just want to be safe

That is sooooo win!!! I used to race RC cars. Nitro and Electric. Let me just
say that driving an RC car is hard enough in on a race course, but to drift
like that around a course, that is just sooooo cool!! Power sliding the car
wasn't too hard, but to have the skill to drift like that is awesome!!

I'll post a pic of one of my car bodies when I get on my other computer.
Ronnie will like it!!!

I doubt it was my install, but it last just long enough to get the tires on. They had 3 guys on the tire to finish it. LOL. I think it was on it's way out.

Lito, they got an E85 pump at the Shell on Younger and First now.

@Adrian- not sure who it was. The only white guy there. Lol. Looked like they had 2 brand new machines but they were using the older ones. They need a machine like Tire Outlet has. That thing is bad arse.
