I've had buddyclubs before and they aren't shit. Most people only buy entry level suspension thinking that it's good enough for racing and later critic it because it didn't deliver what they were looking for. Do your homework before buying any suspension and I'm sure you'll find that most ain't shit. Just avoid brands like D2. They leak bad after a while
Thanks mate,great to hear! :) :)
No worries. If you want to get more serious with your track day events, i recommend Teins.Quote:

Yup,not a build thread,just an everything thread :)
ive seen cars with less mods in the build threads section lol.
LOL i know, how can they say its a build thread when all they do is just put accessories on. sigh.Quote:

Thanks mocchi,give me some time for the next installment!
Thanks for the encouragement,might get a few more soon :)
My neighbours are helping me put the coils in saturday - WOOT WOOT!!
Installing the coils...

Aye man let me know how you find the coilovers, im looking at the same set, from what ive read the new ones are getting really good reviews!
Ah Great to hear!
They feel Awesome! I had the damper set a bit to hard,so I softened it up and it's set at 16 now,it has a 32 adjustments,so it's in the middle and it feels really good,maybe perfect..
But yeah definately Great!
The damper control does a lot more than what I thought it would,bloody terrific!!
I'll get some more pics soon.
Yeah i heard alot of people having a cry about having too much damper settings but yeah i think I'm gonna try these coils on the next civicQuote:

mmm yeh im after the same set of coilies :D no complaints/issues with them beez? can you pm me who you got them off? :) cheers
ghetto workspace man.
What height did you set the car to?
No complaints eekayfour! I've only driven 100k's in them but they feel good and strong,really happy with them!!
I bought them off a member on here 2nd hand,like new!,with 5000k's for $1100 delivered.
The bush workshop Alex!! hehehe :)
Just gotta watch out for that Eucalyptus tree (widow maker) above us there!
I just guess the height as per the gap between the adjusting ring nuts on the coils there,I just guessed 50mm for all of them and it's perfect,I was suprised and happy as it meant I didn't have to do any adjuting...just to save the hassle,as I will be getting it corner balanced with brendon (Vtecrx) in a couple of weeks.So there a 1 1/2 finger gap at the rear and 2 at the front.I could go 1/2 a finger and a touch more lower on the front but that would be it because of the bush roads I drive on.
How the Bush beast sits atm until I get it corner balanced in a couple of weeks :)
thanks for the pic Tim!

brett mate looks like the bat needs a clean
sits nice like it
Thanks Frankie,me too,I really dig how it sits and I'm very happy about that.what I mean is I stoked I don't feel the need to 'slam' it with all the po po out and about targeting dumped cars.
I gotta clean her yes :)
After I get it corner balanced,so it will be sitting where it stays,I'll get some better shots then.
Had such a fun drive yesterday,car feels so different/better!!
It's already heaps low looking anyway, the Civic isn't a high/big car. Looks nice mate, as long as it feels better to drive then it's all worth it hey.
Yeah exactly! There's a big change there,bloody brilliant.I'm suprised a car can be so firm yet comfortable,I thought that only came with $3k shocks...
what shock did you end up getting havent been folowing religously
Just a couple of pages back Frankie.BC BR series coilovers.
very nice choice
need to change my crap springs for some eibach ones not sure which ones to go for
Hey Brett give us an update now you have had the coils for a while, what's your thoughts on them now? Still good? Any issues slowly appearing?
Yeah good one Troy.
Been thinking a lot...lol
I've lowered the car just once since installing,so it sits lower than the pic above.I have learnt the trick is to get your LCA's,both front and rear perfectly flat,this is 'perfect alignment'.
That's what I need to do now,fine tune it.
I have been playing around with the damper and have eliminated a lot of the understeer but not all and that's what I want to do.
I can get the LCA's perfectly flat with some time by taking a photo on flat ground of the front and rear underneath including the LCA's,put it in photoshop and put a straight line acroos it,figure out if I need to go higher or lower and make the adjustment.
And after I do that I can further play with the damper settings to eliminate understeer,get it to the best I can then get a proper wheel alignment.
OR I can corner weight the car.
But say I set it up as 60/40 weight ditribution front to rear or whatever,is that the answer ya know?..
It isn't.The perfect balance i.e. eliminating under/oversteer can only be worked out by trial and error/time in the seat/tweaking things yourself/fine tuning.
I 'may' need these but I don't think so.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ntre-Adjusters
U would buy these if U wanted to keep the lowered look and have your LCA's sitting flat,if U need them.Understand?
hehehe suspension...
Beeza you want mugen ferio rear wing for your car? lol
LOL Tai!
I was happy to see U had posted,I was 'Sweet,some good insight into what is best to do here' :)
But what do U think about what I wrote above:
'The perfect balance i.e. eliminating under/oversteer can only be worked out by trial and error/time in the seat/tweaking things yourself/fine tuning.'
See,I thought I could get my car corner balanced and done!
But,it ain't that easy (offcoarse) is it?
It's like this no?:
'eliminating under/oversteer can only be worked out by trial and error/time in the seat/tweaking things yourself/fine tuning'
Makes sense to me, it's not just an objective thing but also subjective. It comes down to one's driving style and how the connect with the car "the feel of it".
hahah ,
Well as you posted before trial and error is only way to perfect your car.
You cant expect ot slap on parts and hope its gonna all work out.
Every car is tuned differently as there is many parts that can differ, from the suspension used, the brand of tyres, the amount of camber set, weight of car, driving styles etc.
It's something you need to test out and figure foryouself.

Been thinking about hitting up the Gold Coast Meet Greet and Eat again haha, maybe can actually get more cars this time. Was heaps a fun though, laid back just chilling on the mountain. Meeting a whole bunch of people I pretty much haven't seen since.
Careful, you might motivate me to wash my car and get back into it a bit. :D
Sounds like a good idea Troy.Quote:

Okay I'm in. Gonna wash it this weekend to start getting it back in shape a bit.
Also put down a deposit on some new tyres, was looking at Potenzas but eventually decided on Turanzas. Not quite as good performance but a bit better mileage overall, gotta think of the budget eh.
