Default ITR/EF suspension

alright. lol, sorry about the wait, had freaking jury duty today and I actually fell asleep while loading the pics up on we-todd-did-racings server last night.......
Some of the pics really suck so forgive my poor photography skills.

Here are the initial "before" pics:







Now here's half of what I put on, I took this pic at the beginning of this summer when I was actually considering selling them....


Here's one of the front coilovers compared to what originally came on my Honda Civic DX in 1989.




Here's the Left Rear side with the LCA installed upside down, lol, at least I know it fits on there upside down now.....


The fronts went on extra easy, which was surprising to me.


One of my younger siblings doing what I would most likely deem a Bob Marley impression.


I decided to go take some more instead of putting crappy night shots on there so here they are, I think it might need to go a little lower, but then again it is pretty low with 14's on there anyway......,




see, I don't wanna go too low, with this stupid invidia on here....





well that's it, hope you enjoyed it. lemme know what you think. and I don't need to hear it from you, as I know I have a lot of work to do on the car in the exterior dept.


Well, it's finally done, for the time being. Ill have pics up in the next couple of days, be patient as school is starting and church is all day sunday, but I just replaced my stock shocks and LCA's with Integra Type R pieces. well the coilovers I purchased are actually Tein RA's but they're for an Integra Type R. I was a little leery at first when considering they're such different cars(yet apparently alike in some ways).

It should've (as any typical shock replacement)only taken as much as four hours at the max, but as Im sure most of you know a couple of problems introduce themselves into the situation every now and then, esp. with a sixteen year old car. oh well, nuff for now. Ill try to get those pics up a.s.a.p.
peace.

well, other than the coilovers you need the ITR lca's unless you have the 88 model hatch(then you're fine), and then you need some EG front forks. Some other guy on here put a stock ITR suspension on his car a while back and he said it was somewhat difficult installing, but since the teins were shorter than the OEM ITR shocks and springs, these weren't a problem at all.

You said 88 Model Hatch? I was under the impression all 88's (crx or civic (besides 4wd)) were the same. (rear lca wise)

you were right I do believe sir, I meant to keep that down to simply 88 Civic's, but I was typing really fast. I apologize. Yes the swap is relatively easy other than getting a hold of different LCA's (unless you have the 88 year model), and some EG or DC2 front forks. lol, I know I said I would have pics up in a few days, I didn't know it at the time, but by that I meant tomorrow. it's been raining like crazy from that hurricane junk coming up through TN and KY.

yeah, Im glad I could help you guys out with your decision on what to get for your car. I know at times it difficult to find a specific application for your car in a popular brand product, specifically designed for either eg, ek, ep. Anyhow, I had my car aligned the other day and it aligned everything to specification except one wheel, which I blame other old suspension pieces for. Time for a camber kit I suppose.

I bought some HX wheels(came with crappy tires) last night so I need to set up the heighth in proportion. Gotta get rid of that nasty wheel gap I've been so plagued with up until now. pics tonight.
