They're great till you look at a shock dyno, or they blow out; whichever comes first.

I agree the K sports are prob ok for cruising but I would not run them hard I have a feeling after a summer of what I put my car through they would be hammered like a 40yr old hooker....and im not even that hard on the car lol

Hey robert I forgot to ask at the HT meet what spring rates are you running? your on koni/GC right? I have OTS rates for civic with B series and am not liking the softness but dont want to blindly just pick some haha

I'm on 500f/550r but I run a 20mm spacer up front. If I wasn't running the spacer I would have gone 450f/550r for a little more disparity and a bit more oversteer. But the spacer takes care of that

How does your car feel on fast sweeping corners? Mine felt kinda unstable when I put the 23mm rear on.....but I also have not had an alignment in a long time lol that could be part of it. I like a car that is neutral to slight oversteer. I have driven some FWD cars that are oversteer monsters....its not that cool haha

When over driven my car pushes like any FWD, when take to the limit properly the rear end swings around just right. The 23mm could make the *** end happy if thats what you mean by unstable, but when I think of unstable I think more of bad alignment haha.

I need a little help. I finally got around to replacing my jerry rigged fogs and have everything on except the cover's. They aren't lining up... anyone have any idea's? I tried putting them on after I had installed the bumper, would that have anything to do with it? Do the covers need to be installed before the bumper goes on?

Sup, I need a little help with my hatch. Alright, this all started a couple months ago, and my car isn't starting up. It cranks, but does not start and this only happens when it rains or gets hot outside. The only times it will start up is in the mornings or nights. I already changed out the efi main relay, but it didn't fix the problem. So now I believe that the fuel pump went out or the electrical leading to the fuel pump is bad. What do you guys think? And what should I do?

Chances are its still the relay. Unless you bought a new one and old relay is an old relay. My daily does this in the summer on occasion, some times I just go buy a cold pop to hold o it so it will start hahah You will have better luck in the 92-00 civic section

I cruise around hills and such with them, there not bad. but i do have to keep jacking the springs preload up because they still arent as stiff as i want them to be and the fronts are all the way hard. who else is running ksports and how many turns to Hard/Soft are you in the front and rear and how far up is your springs pre loaded?

they aren't stiff because as soon as you reach shock stroke they scatter. i'm serious, look up a shock dyno on one and compare it to a koni yellow.

Then pay a polisher to do it. They don't come polished.

some nice hatches!

mEH3 - the reason why your adjustments don't do much is because of the shock damping itself. it's a taiwanese product so don't expect a lot out of it (you get what you pay for sometimes). you shouldn't have to keep ramping up your rate if the valving in the shock was better matched for the springs you have.
