That's a very broad subject on springs, do some searches on them and look for a couple different things, ride height/drop, stiffness/comfort.

 

well so far I've narrowed down to H&R Sports, Eibach Pro Kit, and Tein H Techs

I'm looking for something similar to, or better than stock ride and not an extreme drop.

Don't really know much about springs.

 

Everything I've read is htechs are the closest to stock, in actually putting htechs on my tl hopefully this weekend,

 

That's what I've been reading too, but there are some that say H&R give just as good a ride with a lower drop.

I guess you would hopefully get a first hand knowledge of the ride this weekend.

 

It's official, tomorrow at 9:30 I am taking the CL to Autoclub speedway in Fontana to race in the 1/4 mile! My goal is to break into the 13's.

 

Springs? Coilovers?

Eibachs: Avg drop is about 1" depending on the car and application (what type of Eibach springs). I've used Eibachs on two of my cars. I cut the first set because I wanted to go lower (don't recommend this approach), but I couldn't afford to buy another set at the time. The second set was for my Integra and I was very satisfied with the handling and ride hight. Eibachs also work well with stock struts.

Buy Teins or H&Rs if you want to go lower. Also, I'm not sure if you'll need to get new struts to avoid blowing out the stock struts when you go with Teins or H&Rs.

However, Coilovers are the best IMO. I'm probably going to go with Teins if I decide to go this route. If not, I am going with Eibachs with stock struts till the blow out.

 

Good luck! You running on slicks?

 

Nope, street tires with 95% tread on them.

 

Whud up fooz

I know this one is far but im just trying to share the Acura ThugLuv to my San Diego peeps. Just incase you might be up that way...

July 24th I got word from another site that this guy is going to have a pro photographer in town that day that wants to get pics of cars and SoCal scenery.

Google map: Crystal Lake Rd, Angeles National Forest, South Antelope Valley, Los Angeles, California

He's trying to get a group of people together for a nice little cruise and BBQ.
Its a really nice drive and a cool place to hang out and chill, maybe bring offroad R/C's, go for a little hike, just BBQ and have some fun.

Time is still up for debate.
I will keep you guys up to date.

Here's the photographer's website..

Springs.

The Tein H Tech springs are actually 1.1/0.7 so its not that much of a difference from the Eibach Pro Kit of 1.0in all around.
But I have no experience with either so that's why I'm wondering about ride quality. Can't afford to go to coilovers now so I'm just going to get springs on stock struts.

I've read good things about H&R but they are hitting 1.3 without sag and I don't think I'd like my car to go too low.

 

Go with htechs or hit up xcelerate? He seems to have the most honest opinion as a vendor on here. And he's extremly knowledgeable, I did read somewhere though that tein designed there springs around stock struts,

 

And also sounds like the quote you put in was for stechs

 

Cali shoot me a text at 6195497003, there is supposed to be a huge Acura benefit meet in orange county that weekend that maybe dude might wanna join, either way I will actually be up there that Sunday anyways so I'm down to go with you

 

??? s tech is 1.6/1.4

 

saaweet..is there a add online for that Acura benefit thing? I'll text you today homie

 

So I got to Autoclub speedway today. Got out of the car and felt how hot it was. Started to watch people race and saw that people were NOT hooking up. Decided it wasn't worth it, so I just watched.

 

You made it all the way up there just to spectate? :ghey:

 

Yeah that's pretty shitty, oh well though

 

 

 

anyone have pictures of what a 70% all around window tint looks like?

 

You won't notice any difference with 70% go with at least 35% or darker

 

what about 50%?

I just don't like having to deal with cops

 

I've got double limo on my rears which is 2.5% and my fronts are 35% and I havnt ha any trouble, plus if I see a cop I just roll my fronts down, and 35% isn't to dark

 

well, I prefer to have overall tint matched. While doing rears darker than front would give illusion that its still semi legal, I like to have them all evened out lol.

 

If ur in the area.....

Cali I won't be able to make it up this weekend, my sons mom is heading down here to pick him up Sunday instead of me going up

 

My car is going to get a lot louder this weekend .

 

Tyler got his catback, dude let me know if you want help with install,

On the not of mods, My car will be a lot higher as of this weekend, lifting it back up

 

yeah man handle yo biznaz...i wasn't expecting people to come all that way from san diego. i just wanted to let everyone down here know about it cuz sd is my peps

 

 

^ Plan is to drive up there with no exhaust and install it in the parking lot haha.

I gotta drive all the way up to Burbank .. I'm going to bring:

Appropriate sockets / 1/2" ratchet / 3/8" ratchet
Breaker bar
PB Blaster
ATLP Test pipe so I can delete my 3rd cat while I"m there.
A smile .. for the ride home

 

... oh and Jack stands & Floor jack

 

If you put in this many parts and wrench time into a 6spd CL-S you would have a faster car.

 

I'd say the CL-S6 would be faster because of the headers .. damn you 2Gs!

The J30 tops out at about 260whp on full bolt ons before you need to dive into motor work .. coupled with a car that's 200 pounds lighter I think the Accord could hold it's own for the most part.

How's your CL-S running Luis?

 

Werd.

My CL is running well. I recently had my passenger window motor go out without warning but other than that she's doing good.

 

I have 50% on my windshield...cant even tell the differance

 

Without major motor work 2g's hit 250-260whp on full bolt on's. Mine has around 250 since I have no plans to install a 4g Intake manifold and throttle body spacer. It's a wrong wheel drive car and in the end, it can't hang with anything on a dig.
