Default Pics Of My New Suspension Setup....Install Writeup Coming Soon!

So I finally figured out that hopping on the Tein bandwagon wasn't the best idea as it was a downgrade from my previous setup (H&R Race + Koni Yellow). My only complaint was the ride harshness so i switched to the Tein basics. Then I got to thinking "why would I want dampers with only a one year warranty when i still have dampers that carry a lifetime warranty sitting in my closet?" So I have decided to sell my Tein basics for like 400 bucs and throw the new setup on. (Eibach Sportlines,Koni Yellows,Ingalls Adj. UCAs)

They will go in this weekend and i will have a tech writeup for the install complete with pictures, middle fingers, and beers. Here are the pics of whats going in.





also picked up one of these cause lord knows I have needed it for soooo long...



remember...INSTALL WRITEUP + REVIEW COMING SOON!!!

Very nice. I look forward to reading your writeup. I need to get a service manual, how much did that one cost you? Around $90?

in an attempt not to hijack.

anyways.. there was a shock dyno and write up from one of the guys on here that works at koni.. they are very good overall. a lot of praise from some "bigger guys"
there is both sport 12-10k and street 10-8k applicatoins; they are getting very popular with the civic/integra guys.. they use a bigger piston and are mono tube and there is a few comparsions on the boards already..
