In continuance of an older thread about my new KYB suspension https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=122120, here are the pictures that I took during the installation last weekend.

Car is on the jack stands ready to go:




Suspension and camber kit are in. Nice color combo.




Rear suspension is in. Compressed side of the springs on top on purpose.



My other baby had to sleep outside of the garage that night in the 10'F weather.....



Stockers are out. Poor lighting for this picture..... any buyers?

WOW NICE CALIPERS! Is that a cusco coilover setup? If not who makes those and hat camber kit are you using?

 

that is definetly not the smartest thing i've seen

 

huh? did I miss something?

 

That's KYB height adjustable suspension and Skunk2 camber kit.

 

Huh? What are you referring to? Please advise......

[edit] -- maybe you meant I didn't block off the license plate? I honestly don't really care.

How could you leave your Daewoo outside like that?!

 

I don't see a bumpstop. Did you put one in?

what do u get from that?

 

There's a black rubber one in there. Kind of hard to see in the pics. But it's there.

 

My friend did some testing and found that there isn't really a noticeable difference between the compressed side up or down. But with the compressed side down, the spring is more likely to rub with the threads, creating noise, making it easier to rust or even damaging the threads.

 

ohh ok

 

Trying to make yourself faster then me at gingerman eh Wai? heh, I look forward to running with you again this year with your new susp. setup. should be fun!

 

Yeah still trying to catch up with you Mike.
Is the blown GSR sold? What would you be driving if it's sold?

 

Spooooon brakes. I'm so jealous.

 

Hence the word "beater".

 

I take it the SLK is the wife's car?

 

No wife yet, that's why I can afford it.
But it will go probably in a year or two. I hope to get a tow vehicle so that the type R can be retired from the street.

 

WAI - I'll pickup the stock susp. Let me know.

-Nick

 

Thanks for your interest Nick. But please note that the upper mounts are not included as I used the stock upper mounts for my new suspension.

Can anyone please give me some idea of how much the stock ITR suspension worth? My car/suspension is 98 with 30K miles. I really don't to overcharge (or undercharge as well) anyone. IM me if you know how much they go for. Thanks a lot.

 

Wai,
Did you end up getting that tool for the ball joints??

BTW, I misplaced Jack's number, and lost his e-mail addy, can you hook me up?? He called today and I cant get ahold of him..


Thanks..

Nice job!!

Stockers run anywhere from $150-$350 depending on condition, and how fast you wanna sell them.

 

Carlos, thanks for your guidance thru the phone. I got a small gear puller (2 claws) from the hardware store. It worked perfect and the ball joint popped right out.

You got IM.

Thanks! Hmm mine is at top condition, I think I would list mine at $300 then.
