Default Flossin the new suspension


Hey everybody. I always post pics here when I do a major upgrade on my car, so let me show you. I had to get a company to mix and match a set of coilovers kits from 2 different cars to make this happen. I only found one company that would do this, so that is why they are purple :nutkick: . Here are the pics.

My favorite pictures atriot: .

Not even close, I had to run 89 civic fronts and 92 accord rears. They only work because the perches were adjustable.

I DD this car and any more camber correction would put the control arm to much into the wheel wells.

I love the look of the classic hondas, thanks for the props.

I got mine from no limit motorsports, D2 charged me $250 a corner for the split up set, but they run $850 or so for a regular set.

I had the damping set up kinda high for that test, but generally it is a little rough

I was expecting at least one H-T to tell me that. I read everything I could find on D2 here on H-T and it looks like every coilover except Tien has had there problem(they probably have as well, we just dont know). They come with a 1 year warranty, hopefully I dont have to use it.
