EP3 Type R

[doosra]

Because it has only just happened once you've lowered the car / installed coilovers its LIKELY your front springs slipping around as your front shocks rotate - as you turn the wheel back and forth. Mare sure the spring perches are TIGHT as they can loosen over time with this front suspension design (macpherson struts)

Problem solved. Was a lose spring perch god I love this forum!

great to see

As for the camber kit - get one for the rear and go get a full front and rear alignment , set toe as close to stock settings as possible and also rear camber too.

I'm currently using some from a audm dc5r. So yes, they are identical i.e. bolt up to the ep3r.

Thanks

Easy as mate, we have a family car as well (Camry) so whenever we do anything as a family, we just take it. The Honda isn't really a family trip away kinda car anyway, so that works well. The kids are 7 and 5, so they fit in the back of the civic when required for school pickups and the like, they also love 'making it noisy', which is what we call going fast so when they tell mum I don't get in the shit!

I have always kinda wondered about the 'got kids, need a station wagon' type crowd. I grew up with 2 x '75 model Honda Civic's as our family hacks (Dad had a GT Falcon we used to take out on Sundays) wen't everywhere in those things. I figure having kids is just another thing that people use as an excuse to buy a new car, and who doesn't love getting a new car right?

sounds like family fun!!

i dont have kids, so i wouldnt know.. im 25 so nowhere close to having kids just yet, my girlfriend is 28 and she dont want kids either anytime soon!

i got a nephew who's 2 but i havent tried putting on the baby seat in my car. my mate from melbourne who has the FN2R is with someone who has a kid and he puts the baby seat in his car, so if it fits in the FN2-R then i see why not in the EP3.

I'll upgrade to an s2k when and if I have kids just to prove them wrong

I've placed a baby seat in the back of mine before, really easy, but make sure you have the anchors in the back, because some ep3 dont have the anchors at all because an after market rear strut bar was in placed and some require the anchors to be removed, like mine (found mine in the glove box, lucky Replacement of a set is $60 bucks from honda spare parts )

so keep that in mind before trying putting a baby seat in

Sounds like I need to do one of my write-ups on putting a kids seat into an EP3? I have a Safe N Sound Highrider in mine full time, looking at getting one that is just the booster seat base so when I'm hardparking it isn't so visible . . . car seats aren't exactly the latest 'must have' JDM mod.

Hey Ben, my car is now making a squeaking sound when I turn it left and right. It's different to the one yesterday which was a loss spring perch. Any ideas?
