ok I'm currently using the HCP kit and I have the car lowered about 2". Now I think that the center shaft on the axles are binding with the outer axle cups(rubs as suspention compresses)anybody ever use 88-89 axles instead of the 90-93? when I had the stock suspention on it never rubbed but now lowered it does. also anybody have any pics of lowered eg's w/h22?

Is that on the passenger side or driver side..?? And I think you only use the 89 and older axles if you are using a prelude intermediate shaft. So that will probably not help in your situation. Don't quote me on it though..

I use 88 teg with lude int shaft. I`m lowered about 1.8 in the front. The axle knock a little bit when I turn really hard or take hole in the road I think I should put stock OEM shock to resolve the problem or found a shorter axle

alright I fixed the problem, I replaced the driver side axle with a shoter 89 TEG axle. the acceleration vibration is not nearly as bad as it was and all the funny noises and knocking are gone. My car is only lowered about 2" I'm afraid to go any lower cause of the axle angle but the car feels so much better now.

just curious.. did u use accord mid shaft with 90~93 axles on those or prelue mid shaft? or are they same? i am plannin to do on in my ek..

Jason kiDD

Interesting, so you used an 89 teg axle with your Accord interemediate shaft and everything still worked??

i'm using the 90 accord midshaft w/ 91 teg pass side axle and 89 teg driver side axle. The accord halfshaft has a female and male end while the prelude halfshaft are both male @ each end.

Are you sure. To my general understand it is the prelude intermediate shaft that has a male end causing you to use a female type axle and the Accord one has a female end in which you use a male/male axle.. So again do you know what setup you are currently using? And is the integra axle male/male as well??

fastwanabe

prelude halfshaft= both ends are male
accord halfshaft=1 male end & 1 female end.
teg axles= both end are male.

I guess your right, I'm using the accord shaft and teg axles.

BTW I'm also running on EF illuminas w/ GC 400lb front & 250lb rear.

Okay kewl that is what I thought. So you swapped a set of 90-93 driver's side axles for a 89 and it fixed your rubbing issues??

And I have a similar setup with skunk 2 coils and AGX struts. However I am using DSS Stage 3 axles. Maybe overkill but I got them a good price and the quality is magnificent.
