Default An awesome supsension

Im gonna be gettin some Top Speed Pro-1 24 pt. adjustable coilovers soon, has anyone ever used them or know anyone that has on an accord? anyway, this plus the suspension tech sway bars and strut bars should make for a good set up. does anyone else have anyting like this? has anyone ever used it for i think its called rally cross, the thing on pavement goin between cones? I'm just wonder how good accords can handle. thanks

it will handle really good because the stiffness of the spring on coilover;
handle is sacrify for bouncy when drive, because the spring is too stiff. get an ajustalbe shock and ur handle will bouble %: trust me get like koni, kyb
what the **** does that mean? you have very little concept of suspension dynamics

do you know the spring rates? is it a spring/shock/coil over setup?
and you are thinking of autocross, not rally cross, I have a different setup than what you are speaking of but do track my car (road courses) and it handles beatifully

how much are your 1-24pt adustable coilovers? do you mean they are height and rebound adjustable, or just height?

yes they are height and rebound adjustable, they are a complete coil-over shock/strut package. they were not too expensive because the local shop i am getting them from is hooking me up for $850 installed, yes installed.

Any idea how these coilovers compare to APEXi N1's and Tein HA's (think thats the model that has an accord application)??

strut/spring/coilover install shouldn't cost too much though, so dont count it as that big of a hookup. You can get it done in 2 hours easily w/ an experienced hand and rental tools.

im not sure how they compare to apex n1 and teins but i heard they ride better than the tanabe sustec pros, and they cost about half as much. the install price is only $100 so i consider it a good deal when the setup costs only $750

JIC suspensions are some of the best on the market, uless you are talking about a combined JIC/Tanabe setup
