i know they are performance coilovers.
at the same time i wana have the ability to slam...and they cant do that so i didnt get them

 

You already know that from like 2 pages back. So why are you still in here trying to stir **** up?

 

 

nice, who??

you're out of your mind tarik. you've got a huge fake mugen lip on your black integra and its sits at about the same height.

Either way doesnt really matter because it doesnt apply to this thread. Can't wait to order some.

 

i LOVE my fake mugen lip. i scrape the **** outta it now...y would i spend 400+ on a fanboy mugen lip? lol
and its not huge.
keep in mind my integra is just on stock shocks and gc coilovers....and its a little lower than that red coupe....
my goal is to go another 2 inches lower once i install my koni's and top hats

 

I wont waste my time or clutter this thread up. have fun with that

 

k

 

any progress installing them?

 

Tarik is back?

 

You didn't snap the head off? Mine broke right off first try. Took 4 hours with the air hammer and torch to remove it, which destroyed the bushing so the whole thing had to come out. The other side was the same way so I applied Never-Seez to the replacement bolts.

 

Not yet. I was going to do them this past Sunday with my friend but we both had a hangover from the night before haha. So we delayed it. I'm doing them tomorrow. Its going to rain but I should still be able to make it happen.

I'm in the ***** if the bolts break

I really wasn't able to put much force on it so it might still break when I use a breaker bar tomorrow. Ill whip out the torch if I have to. Im definately applying anti-seize though.

 

I want a picture of a slammed EG :p

 

I got a better picture from this past weekend.

Here ya go...

 

I can't be leave it. This is the 2nd time this cat has been banned. LMAO

^^^looks good! height looks good too considering those body styles are supposedly hard to get low.

I think i'll be placing my order with weksos tomorrow

 

I went and installed my Type 1s today. I only did the fronts because it got cold and dark and my friend had to go. I'll be doing the rears tomorrow!

I didn't want to strip the rear bolts so I did the fronts first because they're a lot easier.


Me and my friend Miguel did them. Here we go!





Remove strut bar and those bolts



Then the 2 brake line brackets





Then the LCA bolt.



Then the fork bolt













Wirewheeled the fork to remove some rust and the used sandpaper.



I guess I had real TEIN sprins, I wasn't sure about whether they were or not


Ta-daa!!!



Comparison shot



Anti seize on all these bolts!












This is the height at the moment, I will set it lower once I get a camber kit.


How it was before


So yeah about an inch drop.

They drive really nice, I'm very happy with my coilover selection. The car feels nice and firm but not too stiff and it clears bumps pretty nicely. I can definitely feel the weight of the car now. Its night and day. It feels great!

 

im not telling you to go lower. im trying to shut the kid up that says the coils can't slam your car.

I have a lot of experience with these coils, ive owned a few sets. You can make them go lower than you can imagine, frames can touch the ground if thats what you want...

 

SO i got them on. i love em =]
i still can drop about an inch more....which i might but i have to do some more fender clearing. should have an update tomorow

 

I dont think some people are taking into consideration that the springs will settle a bit over time.

 

^It's not even that.
People just don't know what the **** they're doing. And it's getting a bit annoying hearing all these retards talk about how their set won't go 'low enough'.

 

DUDE what a nice work !!!! how low can you go with type Ones???? :D it RULZ

 

did you drop the preload or no?? Can't wait to orderrrrrr

 

ok i have some skunk2 coilover w/ stock shock and been driving them for a while now on a slight level drop. front is drop so that the fender cover the tire top at lease haft an inch or less. back side is drop even with quarter panel or so that you can slip your index finger between the tire and the quarter panel. i'm ok with the ride feeling although it sure bonce but now i'm thinking about to give it a drag look. More drop in the front and more rise at the back. i want to know how the performance will be. i try this setup once before but not for long. i notice that the car is less bouncier. so let me know what is the downfall and how will it perform.
although i could just rise the back but i wont be able to get out of my driveway w/out mid/heavy scratch at the bumper and/or under the car. i do angle out/in and on lot of of speed bump to. will any advice, knowledge will be thank..
