Hayame INFO?

Any new updates on the HAYAME CoilOvers for the EP yet?

[jaydub]

Nah, nothing concrete yet. I'm still trying to decide if it's worth being the guinea pig to try this out, but I'm thinking it should work the same way the Tein SS's do (i.e. drilling out the mounting bolts to 16mm, from the 14mm size they come).

It's just a major undertaking for it not to work. :o

[VNlilMAN]

if teins fit, hayames fit..
so with teins you do have to drill the holes bigger(someone said you didnt) Your going to have to do the same with hayames too...

[bioevolve]

Yeah, that is if you order the Civic 01+ version.

What would happen on suspension control, if I ordered the RSX version and some RSX TieRod ends ?!?!!?!? I think I will be the guinea pig on the RSX setup in a few weeks. I know the RSX has Higher spring rate, but should be solid from race setup and my setup.

Any thoughts?

[jaydub]

IIRC if you get the RSX setup, you may have to shave down the mount in the rear, but I could be way off base and have no clue what I'm talking about. :D

I cannot recall where I read that, however.

Yea, You need to buy RSX tie rod in order to fit DC5 fullcoilovers.
RSX uses 16mm front camber bolts, Just like our car. That's plus.

RSX tie rods, for the rear correct?

Fronts.
Rear doesn't have tie rods.

[jaydub]

haha that's why I was cornfused. :D That might not be a bad idea for me anyway, considering the shape my tie rod boots have been in for a few months now...

:sigh:

[jaydub]

So I guess the way to look at it is like this:

Hayame for EM2 = drill front mount bolts to 16mm, everything else is fine. Softer spring rate. (6KG Front/8KG Rear)


Hayame for RSX = mount bolts are fine, but requires purchase of new RSX tie rod ends. Higher spring rate. (8KG Front/10KG Rear)

[bioevolve]

Bingo!

[jaydub]

i think i'll be ordering the EM2 ones tomorrow. The front mount bolts won't be hard to drill, and I like the spring rates. :)

Hayame's catalog says that they're "multi-adjustable" as well as "0-4inch ride height adjustable". So does anyone know if this means that the dampening rates are adjustable? Billet and dustcovers, I'm really thinking about getting these...

[Civicvtec1ps]

Non adustable Dampenings.
Just like TEIN Basic.

[jaydub]

correct, the only other difference is that the hayames come with upper mounts, and they are preload adjustable.
