Re: Brake Booster Delete

You suck at high school physics. Like, really badly.
F = PA
P = F/A

Put 500lbs on a 1" square area, you get 500psi.

Put 500lbs on a 2" square area, you get 250psi.

Put 500lbs on a 1/2"...

Re: suspension logic : stiffness + dampening

On my EK4, it originally rode on Koni Yellows and Tanabe GF210 springs. The springs were, IIRC, around 230lbs at the front and about 150lbs in the rear. The ride was proper shit.

I swapped it out...

Re: DC2 Spring rate / damper travel

You're right, the DC2-R and Ek9-R both have factory spring rates of around 245lb/in front and rear.

This promotes rear axle load transfer and reduces understeer. But Honda didn't engineer the...

Re: Review: From 3030 to 4040 Prop Valve

The MC should not be causing the issue you're having.

Give it another bleed, a long gravity bleed would be best. A quick one like you'd do when changing a caliper really isn't going to cut it...

Sounds like you've got a LOT of air in the system more than anything else.

Re: Anyone running w/o the brake booster?

My brake calculator has an input for manifold pressure. Change the input to 0 to see the effect removing the booster would have on the pedal force. It jumps from 70lbf to over 200lbf!

I've not done it, but I've driven the car whilst being towed which is pretty much the same and there is no way in hell I would want brakes like that.

Re: Accord Sway Bar Suggestions??

Would the EDM/JDM ATR/AER (CH1 or CL1 chassis) sway bars fit your chassis?

Could be a cheap OE option for you.

Re: Need advice on picking the right rear sway bar setup

If your rear end is sliding out it's got fuck all to do with the suspension. Put some decent tires on it before you do anything else.

Re: Spoon Springs EK9 Dampers

Yes they're not low, they're more like a 'Sport Pack' OEM option, but actually it's better for performance and ride. Going low is just for aesthetics, and personally IDGAF what it looks like to scene...

Re: Spoon Springs EK9 Dampers

I had Spoon progessives and fixed dampers on my EK4, they replaced Koni dampers and Tanabe springs.

Now, while the Tanabe's aren't exactly performance springs (they were too low for the spring...

The reason for camber is to plant the contact patch during cornering, if you don't do corners (let's face...

Re: J2 Engineering Coilover (32 way adjustable) Review

I agree. The typical "bolted these on yesterday, they are awesome", then never to be heard from again type reviews are not to be trusted.

1 year beating on them with no issues... fair play.

Re: Sticky This: Camber kit TRUTHS

29k from a set of tyres is bad?

What kind of horrid plastic tyres are you selling these people?

My tyres last about 8000 miles if I'm lucky.

Re: accord ebay coilovers on integra/civic

A side view would be better, but to me that height looks perfectly fine, and I usually rock standard height suspension! I guess the problem is they are bottoming out at that height though, correct?

Re: whats a good suspension to buy for a 400 hp civic

How do the requirements of a 400hp Civic differ from those of a 200hp Civic?

I'm sure Penske will sort you out, probably looking at about $1500. Per damper.

Re: accord ebay coilovers on integra/civic

If you say they 100% fit, and the spring rates are what you want, why don't you just crack on with it? Why do you need to wait for someone to chime in to give you the OK on it? I doubt anyone is...
