yeaa was thinking of getting them. lols. or should i go for some eibach sportlines that gone 5k/km for 400 bucks? =/
ohh mate btw how much were ur kings lows when new?
they were 500...id go for the kevins man...skunk 2 are nice springs and the drop on his car is very clean and perfect i rekon
nahh sportlines are 400, hmm, yeah i was thinking the skunk2 drop seems pretty clean. but im not sure if it will rub or not cos ill have 18x8 +40.... bit risky?
ur offset is abit of...but it shud be fine mate....very OKAE!!!!dont worry about it...if ur offset were like +39 and +51...den yea...that wuld be risky otherwise go ahead man
oh, haha alright cheers for the help buddy =D. i'll have to get the rims first and see how they fit up..
oooooh....wad rims u gona get??
some white ce28 replicas =D. 18" hehehe. been wanting them for a long time hehe. Been looking around for a nice set of black rims as well though, wouldnt mind some black ones.. (after seeing urs and rene's cars.. looks so aggressive lol).
hehehhe....yea i put on whites b4...i dunoo it looks nice but u get ova it quick
oh really? damn =[. hahaha. what white ones did u have? =D
Waaa becareful with that offset and if u drop the car 2" with only springs... More than likely you'll be scrubbing...
thats exactly what i was thinking =[.... do u think it will be that much of a problem?? =/
i used to have ummm dc2r rims
buzz has 19s and offset was +35...way offf that scrub only in some corners..
really? has he rolled guards? im guessing thats 8 width? and has he lowered it much? =/...
how much is it to roll guards?
depends on where you go and how good they are.
anyone heard of "silvers coilovers?"
nope what are those?
mmm EJ20I,
i see your car around when i used to drive to work, looks so leet...i try to catch up with my roflmobile (stock CXI) but your too fast hehe. (crazy fella swerves in and out in bumper to bumper traffic XD)
setup:
koni yellows on max stiffness
red pedder sports ryder - its so damn soft lol, drop about 2 to 2.5 inches depending number of people in car
ASR bar and EK9 sway bar
.. i thought this was 2001+ civic? u can get asr for fd civics?
my personal opinion is if your gonna track get coils, if its just for daily driving with the show then springs! :) *cheaper too!!!
FallenAngel: have you read this before??? you should check it out... sorry to show you but just be aware...
http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/...p/t191352.html
i know this probably doesn't happen all the time but it did... with a d2...
Yep ive seen that before although thats the older version of the D2 coils. I've been looking for the actual source and what actually happened at the event but i couldn't find anything.
I know quite a few people with D2's and no problems but i know that isn't a reliable source but so far so good. Even tho i've had them on the track 4 times, on different settings no probs whatsoever with the coils so far...
i on coils now to fallenangel....hehehehhehe
D2
haha wow u already got them in??
how long did it take for you to put it in? Hows the height of the car also
it took us 6 hours because my mate accidently pulled the brakes to far so the drive train poped out
the ride height...im loving the adjusting capabality
I took about 6 hrs also and we also poped out the drive-train but it popped straight back in LOL
Adjusting is fun although adjusting the height takes awhile..
What damper setting do have it on?
I'm running BC BR Coilovers, so far I'm finding them fantastic.
It took over 5 hours to get them in the car, same thing with a CV popping out :(
did you get them from racenation?
LOL!!!!seems everyone pop put the cv...hahahaha
im on 10th clik for damper front and 8 in the back
and the height adjust is a bitch!!!
hahahaha
hey guys, can the JDM FD2 type R suspension be used in the civic sport FD2 in aus? i found a set in HKG but would like to find out if it fits b4 i buy it.
why dont you just get aftermarket coils?... look how much fun ej20i and fallenangel are havingQuote:

I've had it in the car since oct last year and its taken 2 trackdays since. Still running fine!
yea...nearly had an acco for being to soft...under under under
now i have it on 20 front and 18 rear...see how it goes eh
need some help choosing springs =/... im wondeirng whats the best drop, 2" skunk2s or 1.4" eibach sportlines.. but i'm really torn, i was going the skunk2s at first cos the drop seems nicer and lower, but then i take a look at some sportline dropped fds.. and the drop seems the same? wtf?!
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9984/dsc01840v.jpg
thats one on sportlines, then i take a look at say.. kevin's fd on skunk2s or ej's fd which is about the same drop, and the gap between wheel arch and tyres seem the same? .. anyone wanna help me out with choosing the set of springs to get lol?
Its hard to say because each car may be the same they all will behave differently. Although just choose the one u like best (brand/cost etc..) and just go for that really..
This place wants $750 to fit skunk2 springs to my car :( ... no way am I paying that for springs.
Now I either will go cheap coilovers or kings :(
wait, u can get springs from 999 auto for abt 400ish right? and since ur in brissie it shud be cheaper, im sure install cant cost ike 400 bucks....
999 quoted me $760 to supply and fit and wheel alignment.
I dunno... sounds too much... I'm pretty sure they quoted me (before their skunk2 container came in feb) 550 incl supply and fit.
But yeah.. now I'm annoyed... might delay the loweing.. or get Kings... eithery way have a vented carbon fibre bonnet coming my way from taiwan :)
NICE. how big are the vents?! are they like rene's ones? nice and small? or a bit larger? and how much u get it for? (pm please =D).
sorry for the bombardment of questions =D.
and uhm yeah 760 sounds a lot... but maybe u could just get the springs off 999, and get it aligned and fitted somewhere else? im sure it cant be that much =/
can u pm me price and pic of bonnet too mark?
me 2 please!
the xx" drop is only an approximate...Quote:

or it could be less than the approximate..
either way.. save your money. springs aint worth it.
hey mark, have you had a look at king springs? i just asked on racenation and felix can get them for $369 shipped.. cant believe how much installation costs hey? if we both buy our springs im sure we can work out a place to do install and give us discount cos we'll be giving them 2 customers.. ^_^
yeah .k. im keen
i remember a yr ago king springd were 400 supplied and fitted from jax... i just wanted to avoid kings... but now ill consider it
i thought u were saving for coilovers??? :pQuote:

g25 for my ps3 ohh yehh
mark - wtf 400 supplied and fitted? wow... can they get super/ultra low kings? do let me know :)
Hey .k., I got my kings fitted about a year ago on my FD for $350. I guess the price has gone up yeah?
supply and fit for 350 dayum.. still cant get over it. racenation was 370 just for supply.. any1 got guestimates on how much install should be? like the max you would pay and what's a rip-off? i dunno how this new suspension is with the spring n shock are separate at the back so i dunno how to do diy =\
man, after installing the coils, i cant get my euro lux rims on... it hits the coils since the offset is +55... ARGHH!!! can even get my nkb elite 8 on too... -_- need spaces... really cbf atm, tempted to sell off the nkb now
what the hell =/. ouchhhh =[. what size are ur nkbs? and offset width? sorry to hear that buddy =[

some new fd1 coils..
they sound cheap
are daiyama's any good?.. those are cheap coilovers.. in terms of price.. wat about quality??
has anyone seen this item for sale at 999 automotive?
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109780
they're skunk2 coilover sleeve kits.
are these some sort of cheaper alternative for full coilovers or something? does anybody know much about coilover sleeves? how's the handling and ride comfort from these?
its like the full coilover setup minus the shock dampers.. could use ur oem shocks with these or upgrade em separately
i googled them.. they look pretty average.Quote:

yes they are the cheaper alternative to coilovers.Quote:

has any body tried Koni yellows on their civics? or skunk 2 sport shocks? i want sumthin with lowering, and comfort!!!
just get tein ss, quite comfyQuote:

jdm yard has them on special for this month.
tein SS is very soft and wont slam your car much. i speak from experiance.
best bang for buck coilover is buddy club n+
other coilovers out there are overpriced.
but then gain .. its up to you. i like a harder ride then others, but that allows me to go low.
thx ekdez, i heard buddyclub n+ is not japan made anymore, adn tein SS is way over priced nowadays... 2.5k for a set... im lookin at dropping the car for 15 - 20mm, and want a balanced comfort and performance. have had JIC track spec in my old car, quite comfortable comparing to teins RA and BC racing spec, but im just over driving a "track car" on road everyday. thats y im lookin at koni, skunk2 and even mugen, they lower the car, and hav comfort + performance gain, most importantly cheaper than most coilovers, if i want harder/stiffer coilovers i can just order a set of BC from china and it'll be as stiff as buddyclub racing spec...
have you thought of tanabe? 1.5k from a trader on the forum, forgot whom, jdmconcept maybe?
yeah, tein SS maybe expensive but its ADR approved..??
whereas the other coilovers arent..
i heard that jic makes coilovers for fd.
tanabe is meant to be soft too because the fd's we own over in jap, is a family car.. lol
all coilovers are gonna be made in different country to the design because they use parts which are always going to be the cheaper alternative... having said that, the warranty is still there to cover failure of a coil set =]
so i dunno.. i ended up getting n+.. just because it gave me that option street/road/track
I got Buddyclub N+ for my EP3, still waiting to put them in cause im getting a dent on my roof fixed. Some sob hit my car with something >=(
how much did u guys get N+ for? so i get a rough idea and dont get rip off by BC dealerships in brisbane hehe... thanks
ouch, sorry to hear about that.Quote:

my mazda 3 was a new car too when i got those prices.... anywayz, thank you for everyone's help and suggestions!
its k again - trader called pro-racing or something will be getting daiyama coilovers in and they'll cost 1500 delivered anywhere in aus thought i'd give a heads-up :)
anyone using / had experience with daiyama before?
hey K, if u r in Brisbane, go hav a speak to 999 and they can get u K sport for around the same price, they hav similar specs too... if both of them are TW brands, then its more than likely they get their parts from the same factory, like D2, G4 and Racing Logic have their parts made in the same factory but selling them at diff prices...
yeh im from bris and have talked to them, adam gave me a quote a while back on all the different types of coilovers he can get and how much + info like spring rates / how many levels of dampening etc etc
are you going to get coilovers for your car?
and anyone had any experience with daiyama coilovers? - good / bad?
yea i will be gettin sum for my car but probably not coilovers again... i want sumthin to lower the car + extra performance but i really want comfort! so im looking at Koni yellow now...
full koni setup? shocks and springs? whats the drop with the koni springs
