NEW PARTS ON PAGE 2!


well I got started on my new suspension setup for 98 Civic hatch this week-after collecting parts for a month its about time to start

Heres what I am starting with





Yeah I dont know about the persons "taste" that owned it before I did but I didnt approve-so I opted to go all out up front and back-so far I completed
2000GSR rear disc
HKS Hypermax Pro Gymkana ITR coilovers
Function 7 ITR/CIVIC lower A-arms
Techna-fit stainless lines
2000 Civic Si front brakes,lower arms,swaybar
Cusco Rear strutbar/18mm lower sway bar with beaks subframe kit

I will get pics of everything installed once im done,its already looking 100% better

nice

 

 

sedan/coupe/hatch rear swaybars all fit the same way correct?

 

great start

 

heres a better pic of coilovers

 

dam i always thought that you couldnt have itr style lac's on a 96-00 civics, i always thought they didnt line up.

love the sparco wheels you got

 

function 7 says you can now...
just came out with itr style for 96-00

 

you should sprey your under carriage black but very nice improvment.

 

yeah I will once I get some paint work ready

 

cant wait to see stage 2

 

thats a really swt lookin EJ6 hatch....wats under the hood?

 

its completely stock atm-not sure as to what I am gonna go with but I am leaning towards CRV/Vtec or a K-series swap

 

change my ball joints and outer tie rods for me
im lazy

 

wanted to ask...

do the ebc rotors seem to be noisy for you? i recently installed mines with the ebc pads... iono if its cause they needed to be broken in or watever but its driving me nuts.

 

nice LCA's run the function 7's on my car

what spring rates did that setup come with?

 

keep us posted!

 

no ebc stuff have never given me a problem off hand and these where quiet-the spring rates on the HKS coilovers where 9k and 12k from what I remember

 

damn dood this is goonna be a interesting build .. cool ****

 

10x better

so no "whistling" or clicking type sounds when slowing down?

 

cars still pretty freash as far as brakes but I drove it for about 10min and it was quiet-are you shims broken maybe?

this is normal. when i ran slotted and dimpled rotors w/EBC greens, there was a whistle.

and the EBC's dust like no other.
