Wise man.

Growing up, a friend's parents had one of these. Many memories of being constricted to death by those god-awful rear seatbelts

Progress is looking good!

I've never bagged a car before. What's so bad about the air struts?
They don't really make a bolt on kit for the EF's do they? Well ,one that don't cost 2k!

Air struts are garbage. My accord wagon, posted in early pages of this thread, had them. Ill never do it again.

Ive grown up a bit since all my other cars. Haha. Im sick of doing things twice.

The only difference between ef/eg/ek struts are the lower fork mount. Tophats are all the same. Actually, integras are the same way. Hondas are like legos.

There is alot of information out there about hybrid suspension swaps.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Air struts, a.k.a. "cans" replace the shock completely, so your suspension winds up completely undamped. Add to that the fact that they are unbelievably stiff, and you wind up with the single worst handling suspension system ever devised by man. They're bouncy, rough, and IMO, unsafe. It's a hack solution to an easily-solvable problem.

$2k for pre-fab air springs with integrated dampers is not bad at all, especially with the built-in adjustability that something like the TWR kit has. Otherwise, this seems like an ideal car for one of those customizable builder-kit strut/shock setups that Air Lift makes. Those are $1600 or so.

[Dsfaxon]

Yes. This.^^.

[CBURKE]

Got it!
Thank for the info guys!

These wheels arent staying on. Just temp wheels.

They fit fine without spacers. 👍

My buddy and i were on our way home. He happened to snap a couple pics of me cruising.





And my wheels.

[Dsfaxon]

got an alignment done yesterday.

have -5* front, and -3* rear camber. so, I bought a rear camber kit, so I can match the backs to the front...

now I need wider rear wheels!!! =[


that being said, im gonna sell my wheels, and look for something more aggressive.

boo.


also, buying drop forks tomorrow, so I can bring my front end down a little more.

gonna get something either gold or chrome. =]

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Gold with polished lips would look nuts on this thing.

There's a flat flaky gold color that the camber plates on Tein coilovers used to be finished in. Something like that would look outstanding on that blue color you've got, IMO.
