Odd suspension changes
 
I dunno what to say about this but lately my car saw a raise in suspension. Actually i have a 4" fender gap on my 14" dubs ;). Why is that ? I know when shocks are about to give out the car tends to lower itslef, getting a lot of bottoming out. well none of this happens. WTF is this ? :mad:

slowEJ6 01-08-2002 12:08 AM

maybe something is stuck or something..........doesnt make sense to me, if the shocks were near the point of being blown theyd lower the car, not raise it. :confused:

94_AcCoRd_EX 01-08-2002 12:12 AM

Don't Accords come with a 4"+ gap? ;)

Woohoo... I win...:P

ebpda9 01-09-2002 09:03 AM

no i'm wrong. this morning it bottomed out for the first time. Any good and cheap suspension upgrades. I want it stiff.

94_AcCoRd_EX 01-09-2002 01:14 PM

Sorry, but good and cheap don't go in the same sentence when talking suspensions (or car parts in general).

Can you give us a ballpark figure on what you're looking to spend?

ebpda9 01-10-2002 05:04 PM

not too much. it all depends on how good people tip. I might look up to $700 for suspension.

$700? You could get a set of KONI Reds(non-adjustable) for about $300 shipped. Add a set of Eibach Sportlines or Pro-kits for about an additional $220. So for around $520 you can have a good setup with some cash to spare. Check out www.shox.com for a price quote(free shipping too!).

ebpda9 01-21-2002 09:55 PM

well thanks for the link. today i analized my budget and figured out that i can spoend no mre than 550 for a new suspension. i was talking to the summit racing guys and they gave ma quate for KYB shocks $70 a shock plus eibach pro kits for 220 plus tax, so i'll go for a grand total of 520, installation not included.

i had this in mind also

http://modacar.com/honda/frameset_su...kage_honda.htm option 1 or 2.

10x for your help

Who is Gold Line springs? I would do the KYBs & Eibahcs. Both are good components.

ebpda9 01-22-2002 08:33 AM

that is the first time i hear about them. well i made up my mind:

Koni "Reds" $308.00
Eibach springs (lowers 1.2" or 1.8") $179.00 the 1.2" version. how does it sound ?

Summit racing has the KYB's for $70 a piece (don't know what model yet (i guess gr-2) and the springs are $225

Racing Rice 01-22-2002 08:37 AM

doesnt sound to bad to me..

94_AcCoRd_EX 01-22-2002 12:35 PM

I think you'll be pretty happy with the Koni/Eibach combo.

Both are quality components. If I could get my damn allen bolt out I'd let you know the ride comfort(I have the KONI adjustables & Eibach Sportlines).

No. The adjustables(Sports) will run you about $540.

I thought the reds were internally adjustable??? You'd have to remove them to adjust, but... I may be wrong. Anyone else know?

The Reds are not adjustable. At least from what I've read. I have no first hand experience on that. The guys at Shox.com said they weren't. :bandit:

Well, yeah. When you're on a cable modem and its only one click away... I just have to stop by and see what's happening. I should probably go to bed now... thanks for reminding me :P
