Default Re: Spend My Money

Well as some of you may have seen in this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1509173 I was looking for a suspension set-up. I truly do thank all of you who provided Info. It helped my find my set-up.

I read up on the KSport Full suspension and decided to give Andy a Call at BodyKitsNW. I talked with him for a good 20 Minutes and he told me about their CO package. I told him I do not want bouncy but a little is okay. THis is a DD car but will be entered in a few AC events.

What I bought was called a F2 Function Over Form set-up. I truly can't remember my spring rates but IM sure Andy will chime in. I installed it during our snowstorm on Saturday along with my Omni UCA's, LCA's, and rear camber kit. Of course I broke the rear LCA bolt so I had to use a Grade 5 until I can make it to a dealer.

I don't have it slammed just a little lower. I will go lower once the snow and salt is gone, but I felt I didn't need to be sitting on the tire in 6in of snow.

The ride is ****. Words can't express it. It's just what I wanted. I'm sortof taking it easy till everything sets (Just my peace of mind) but what turns I managed to take before the snow came to bad I can tell a hell of a difference.

Here are some Pictures. Nevermind the front. The car is getting repainted in two weeks. And the car is dirty.
