Euro suspension comparison

I see. I think the approx. total cost will be something like this:

1. Coilovers - $2000
2. Ingalls rear camber kit - $300
3. Installation - $170
4. Alignment - $120

Total: $2590

They dont do wheel alignment, i dont think.. i know the mechanics there, they told me to go to go to a proper wheel alignment place but wait until i have the cambet kit installed... so i dont have to get it twice

When stock, the only thing you can adjust is front toe. That's why they asked you to do it later. With the Ingalls camber kit, you get to adjust rear camber and rear toe too.

Hey Aaron, where did you get your FLEX installed and aligned and how much did you pay?

I did it at Pro Concept at West Ryde (NSW). Cost all up was $450. I think the breakdown of the cost is $150 for install, $250 for corner balancing and $50 for alignment.

Thanks mate. I live in that area so that's perfect for me!

Get the Ingalls rear camber kit before you install because you won't be able to adjust the rear camber and toe without it. If you lower without the rear camber kit, your rear camber and toe will be out, and give you issues like the car pulling to the right, even with stock 16" wheels!

Tell him Aaron recommended you, the guy with the Accord Euro, Tein Type Flex and broken EDFC motor. LOL. He does get pretty busy usually (up to the point of not returning calls), so call earlier in advance for quoting and booking.

Thanks again Aaron! I'm planning to get the rear camber kit and coilovers first this month and install them sometime next month. That way i can get them installed and aligned at the same time. I don't want to drive a single day with my car not aligned for sure.

I'll definitely remember to say that you recommended me. Did you get EDFC and it didn't work for some reason?

I got the EDFC (2nd hand), but one motor was broken due to a dodgy install previously. So everything was installed except the EDFC. Pro Concept helped me get a single replacement EDFC motor and now it is sitting in my living room. I'll get it installed in the future. For now, the Flex is stiff enough even at the softest setting. I don't find the need to adjust the dampers at all when driving on the street, so I won't need the EDFC for now.

People..?

Do you think Tein Flex is too hard for street at softest setting? i m a daily driver,driving to & from school each day, like to do a bit of spirited driving on the weekend, and mayb track once every 4-5months. want to drop it around 3-4cm. I still can't decide if i should get the tein ss or flex. according to aaron, there are actually not much point in having the edfc at all + it is cheaper to use that money to change the setting before tracking.

What are your thoughts?

[mugen88]

SS are pefect for street not harsh as Flex but for real gains on track Flex is better. Ask yr self how serious u r going to be on tracking yr car regularly cause there is a difference in having fun laps vs competing for serious lap times. Remember u get what u pay for.

Also EDFC is a nice to have but u can easily adust front a rears fitted with SS/Flex manually very easy on the euro, I do it quite often.

[BusterSonic12]

some say ss is too soft. what do they mean soft? it is still stiff then oem right?

i m after more fun on track, not competing for serious lap times ^^ so i guess ss is the way to go. Also i heard that to get edfc for SS u need upper mount to do so? adjust yourself? do u need to take rims off etc etc

[kitbkk]

Tein SS if set at maximum will be very stiff for street driving. I have had mine set at maximum for quite a while now. Well, you still get the comfort from it from my opinion. Setting the damper is quite easy as what Mugen88 said. front dampers are just super easy to get access to (take away the rubber covers). For the rear you just need to take out the cushion piece next to the rear seat and then ur set if i remember correctly.
