    My first full coilover kit

    OPPS... Got that $139 Aluminum jack (harborfreight.com)instead of the $90 one which is smaller hehehe, very nice and low. Now I dont' have to drive up on blocks to get a jack under it. Gives it about 1-1 1/2 inch play with the being lowered 2+inches.




    Slotted upper bolt for cambering




    Got some new tie rod ends, cuz I have one that is damaged:angel: the new ones fit snug:D

    I still can't find all the 36 way adjustablity lol. Will install next weekend. Then my current setup will be for sale.

    How many notches or whatever are on the dampener adjustment? Also, let us know if those solid upper mounts make the car ride too stiff or not.

    Wow, those look good! and they even gave you bolts. (JIC doesnt)

    What spring rates did you get? Are they rebuild-able?

    You said you got new tierods or tierod ends? I know if we lower our cars too much it'll mess up... something which is related to the tie rods. What brand/type/model did you get for the tie rods?

    Current setup = Stock front struts, rear koni adjustable struts, gc coil overs.

    I might do a step by step if I have the time.

    The indicator says 6 notches but the thing keeps turning, os there might be more lol. no instructions came with it, so I'm figuring it out :D

    They do look rebuildable/repairable, sticker says void if removed at locations of taking apart.The spring rates I got was 6k front and 13k rear.

    Tie Rod Ends direct from honda. With most full coilovers the tie rod end mounting area to the strut is at a lower point, to keep less stress on them when lowering a vehicle (also less bump steering).

    hey hey hey if it keeps turning turn it back! sometimes the internals litterally keep going in the same direction - but some loop back around to and go back to the lowest setting...
    If you dont know- i wouldnt risk it... turn it back so you dont damage anything

    Thanks to Mike (Urbanimport.com) for his speedy response and shipping! THANKS MIKE! :D
    I got the correct 13k spring rates for the rear!

    As you can see, the shorter the spring, the more spring rate.

    glad to see you got the right springs....it would have sucked if you had installed them and had to take off to install the right ones.....let me know how you like them after the install.
