What coilovers are they? Thats 900lb/in front and 790rear, which is pretty high for an ots shock.

The ride will be harsh, but you can lessen it with cushy tires lol.

Whew, that's pretty rigid. I hope roads around you aren't bad. I'm curious about the company too. Hopefully they did a well enough job to match the valving to those rates.

damn. sounds like those cost a pretty penny. With the name behind it I would imagine that they're valved to match the rates. The ride should be stiff but not too bouncy if they are IMO

Should be fine if those are the rates they come with. Any sway bars on the car or just the dampers?

Other news, got the H22 vc powdercoated today.

BLU CIVIC: Looks waaaay good. Nice to see some serious progress going on there.

With that shroud and what not is it fairly easy to just take the one fan out to make it work?

TahitianGreen: Those are some baller rims...they are going to look sick. Pics of that **** mounted ASAP!

Thanks! but They need some work before mounting....one has a bend in the backside...still holds air but I may fix it depending on cost

and two of them need tires ASAP

(one is completely shot, other is terribly camber worn)

Ditto, I love those wheels! I have similar hubcaps on the beater, and would love a set of wheels in that style!

haha thanks man

Once I get the coils on....I'll post pics

BTW another question about the coils

Would it be bad to have them set the lowest they'll go? I don't want to ruin the handling of the car....

in order for me to run a full radiator i'd have to have the hot side on the drivers side, but i already had my downpipe and intercooler piping made. so i traded it for my friends aluminum half radiator and fal fan. really disappointed

if had the money i'd run mine how boostedchemist has his run

I drove the sedan today for the first time in about two weeks. Ran a couple errands and gave her a bath. It's so nice not to have to beat on her daily. It will be even more of a joy when she has about 50% more hp next month.
