Tein SS for an EG with ITR Rear LCA's???

[Paul1985]

I plan on using ITR Rear LCA's on my EG Hatch (if i can find a set) along with an ITR Rear sway bar and reinforcement.

Im also wanting to get a set of Tein SS Coilovers.

Just wanna know if i will have any problems with these coilovers going into my EG along with the ITR Rear LCAs????

Also does anyone know why the australian tein SS coilovers have been changed??? what is the difference between these and the japanese versions?

Thanks.

no problem at all - since ITR LCAs are the same if not 99% similar to EG6 lca's - then these tein SS's to suit EG6 will bolt straight into your lil EG :)

Also , I have heard the local built tein ss's simply have a softer spring rate and possibly adjusted vavling to compensate...

Its actually 99.9% bren.

[BseriesPLZ]

wots the different between the two ? i heard some CRV ones the same ?

[Paul1985]

ok thanks for that..
what about if i have say an EG5/3, but plan on getting the ITR Rear LCAs at a later date. Will the EG6 SS Coilovers go on with no probs to the EG5/3 with their current LCA's??

if its only a spring rate im not too fussed on whether i get AUDM / JDM.

Just clearing up a couple of things before i decide on getting a set :)

No

If it did then ppl wouldnt get EG6/DC2R Rear LCAs

[Paul1985]

OK if i get ITR Rear LCA's in an EG3/5 then the EG6 SS Coilovers will fit the rear...
will i need anything for the front for these to fit?

Just get the rear ITR or EG6 LCA's and thats all u will need.
Also , i believe the SS's use your stock strut tops too.

It can, if not u can buy pillow ball mounts.

can someone explain the reason for pillowball mounts on a EG or DC etc ?Bling or ? They are to adjust camber true ? With our suspension design there is no way of adjusting camber via the shock length - it can only be done via the upper control arm kit of some sort...:confused:

[Paul1985]

alright. I think thats all i need to know :)
thanks guys. wish me luck in finding some LCAs lol

ive been wondering this aswell as i wouldnt mind saving myself $200 if i dont need them.

you dont. My point was "upper pillowball mounts" do nothing on our cars - just bling !

[blackek4]

you dont. My point was "upper pillowball mounts" do nothing on our cars - just bling !

why?

[bennjamin]

why?

you cant adjust the camber angle via the shock on our hondas so whats the point of this "adjustable" top ???

[EG5]

pillow ball mounts is heaps stiffer than OEM rubber mounts.

[BADHBT]

theres alot more to it than just bling!
it serves a purpose for lowered cars with negative camber

[type one]

hook up your bling EDFC to.

[Paul1985]

lol @ pillow mounts and EDFC being bling

You can't adjust camber with ther upper pillowball mount...
I got Type Flex with the upper mount thinking I could adjust camber..
But on Honda cars you need to get a camber kit to adjust camber...
The only was is raise and lower the car... The lower it goes the more camber there is..

The pillow ball mount gives a stiffer ride coz it replaces the oem rubber mounts..
In a way it does give a little bit more response in handling

Thats what I think from my experience anyways
feel free to comment

[BADHBT]

didnt say it was used to adjust the camber!

[saxman]

ITR's use the loopeye rear lca though, do they not? Same rear suspension used in the 1988 crx and the jdm del sol sir. I know that they're not interchangable with any of the civics that we got here in the US, although I don't know if the AUDM EG6 uses a rear loop eye or a rear fork suspension mount.

[type one]

hence the need for ITR LCAs and i have ITR LCAs on my EG5 with Tein HA and they work fine.

EG6 uses eye

[bennjamin]

yup ~ its a more firm ride for lowered cars apparently -afaik the pillowball strut top is more so designed to keep the stroke centre of the shock in line when lowering the car more.

well there you go... figured maybe someone was looking at the lcas to support the sway without being aware of the difference in shock fitment

Im getting Tein SS soon....and have the option of getting the pillar mount. I've asked a few mechanics and some say its needed and if u dont get it then ull hav alot of problems later on, and some say its not needed and causes excess noise and makes the ride firmer, so im sumwhat confused.

All I want at the end of the day is a reasonably lowered ride (1.5"-2")....
with as much of my ride comfort retained as possible...since im just a daily driver, who doesnt take his car 2 the track at all.

My car is a 1996 EK1 Civic VTi Sedan, so the question is...do I need them or not?
