They are valved to work with the spring rates you choose to run. Different valving adjusts with the spring properties. It's like people putting springs on stock shocks and wondering why they blow.

They are also shortened. When you run the SPSS3's, there's no need for extended top hats like the off-the-shelf koni's. This also assists with not "blowing" the shocks.

Pretty much. It's all a system. It will only work right when the parts are designed to work together.

On a side note, I'm in Louisville, KY for work. I need to find stuff to do on my free time.

Got around to finishing some welding on my traction bar to the point where I can mount it to the car. Still not 100% though...

I love having a camera... You can find some pretty decent outdoor ones. I have gone through 2 50$ cameras in the last 5 years.. (which is fine with me) They have color, I can hear, picture is great, easy to hook up, night vision... I think I got my last one (a motorola camera?) at walmart!! hook it up to a vcr and hit play every night before bed.. nothing happened, no need to watch.. just record over it the next night. one tape is all you will ever need.
or you can get pricey with the web camera that you can access from the interwebs, thasss fancyy!

On an Ef note... My crx queen has moved for the first time in two years..! on Dollys!
Pics later.. Stoked to finally be able to take full side shots of my car.

Pics or it didn't happen. I ordered my 949's FINALLY (15x8's front, 15x7's rear). Will be shipped out Dec. 30th. Track-Lites will be for sale then. I ordered the ones that are pseudo-chrome. Should look sick on the CRX.

K VR4 fell through...I'm sick of people calling, expressing interest, wasting my time, and then saying they don't have the money....with that said...I'm buying a beater for winter and dailying over the summer....the EF is getting a makeover

First in line, rust repair
Up next, I want to sell the J's and get something EF specific:

I'm thinking PIC Selects, Skunk2 Pro-C's, or Koni Yellow/GC...hmm

Does anyone's hatch rattle while driving? Mine does and I'm about to freak out.
Do I need new hatch struts? New hatch lock? What do you think?

you need to adjust the latch and the rubber-stopper pieces

its a fairly simple thing.

stare at it a bit, and you'll figure out how to adjust the latch.
