Re: INCREASED ride height on Koni Yellows/HR OE sports??

In what way would incorrectly installed forks raise the front of the car? The way the car drives actually feels fine, other than it being less firm up front than expected. I'd assume improperly...

Re: INCREASED ride height on Koni Yellows/HR OE sports??

The rear springs are marked with an R, and the fronts marked with an F. And I doubt they'd fit upside down.

INCREASED ride height on Koni Yellows/HR OE sports??

I recently had a set of H&R OE Sports installed along with Koni Yellows. They are advertised as giving ~.75" drop in ride height. Upon picking up my car, I found that the rear was indeed lower, but...

Hey everyone--right off the bat, I'd like to let you know I searched H-T forums before asking about the following topic, so as not to waste anyone's time.

Re: Cleaning upholstery without altering interior's smell

Can you use a steam cleaner with distilled water only? Or will that cause mold to form later on? Is there something one can use which prevents mold but is scentless which could be mixed into the...

Cleaning upholstery without altering interior's smell

I like the way my 2000 Civic's interior smells: like polymers and cleanliness. There aren't any stains anywhere, but 11 years worth of dirt and dust IS nevertheless dulling the upholstery's...

Re: GSR rear sway bar needs EM1 brackets... but which bushings?

Every other forum says they're different sizes and that you need spacers to make the larger DC bracket fit on the Civic. So i can't see why the bushing's external dimensions wouldn't be...

Re: GSR rear sway bar needs EM1 brackets... but which bushings?

I would like to do that because it'd cure the understeer at low speeds, where it's most noticeable, but since I don't have money right now for excellent shocks/springs and upsized lightweight wheels...

Re: GSR rear sway bar needs EM1 brackets... but which bushings?

Wouldn't they have a hard time fitting into the EM1 brackets if they're of a different shape? I'm guessing that an additional 1mm of thickness doesn't preclude use of the Civic Si bushings and I'm...

Re: Opinions needed on potential suspension set-up

Thanks guys. I've made the decision on H&R oe sports. I just need to know which shocks are best. I'm worried KYB GR-2s would be underdamped. I'm told Bilstein HDs would be overdamped but I'm not...

Re: Opinions needed on potential suspension set-up

What is the benefit? I've heard better things about Bilstein HDs vs Koni Yellows, but as the latter are adjustable, it's difficult to know how to compare the two. Is the Koni Yellow a monotube?

Re: Converting FROM r134a TO r12

I KNOW it's illegal. There's nothing wrong with the system; it's just not strong and never has been, as we all know.
