I'll let you know what I think of them once I get them on. Thanks to all for the opinions last week. to all.

 

Gonna install them yourself?

 

I plan on it, probably this weekend.

 

Have fun install them man. I wish you good luck...

 

I have the 99 spec... Love them... Good luck and let us know.

 

Put them on over the weekend. Install was no problem. Car drives great, very happy with them. Highly recommend.

Did you ever find out the spring rates?

 

No I never did find that out. I checked their website, not to infomative.

 

post some pics man...how low did it drop your car?

 

I will try to borrow a digital cam from someone and post up the pics. I adjusted the drop so I eliminated the wheel well gap altogether. I set the front end just slightly lower than the rear. Car still drives smooth as Hell.
I'm almost afraid to post pictures because I now I am going to get a ton of **** for having 18's on my car. Oh well.

 

The spring rates on the 2000 spec or type pro are 11Kg in front and 6Kg in the rear. This approx. equals 614lbs/sq in front and 335lbs/sq in rear. 13 way adjustable shocks adjusting both compression and rebound.

By the way, these are the static rates, (or uncompressed).

is APEX and APEx'i the same company?

 

Yes, same company. It's APEX Integration or APEXi for short.

 

600+lb/in for the fronts? Holy p00p, that's a lot of understeer.

 

According to APEXi, these figures are way off. Spring rate is nowhere near 600. They are around 20-22% firmer than stock rates. They are going to email me the exact rate later today. I will post the actual numbers when I get them from APEXi.

 

This is the information that I got from two of their techs... I have been wondering about the rates... Thats why I called them. Then they tell me 11K in the front and 5K for the rear for the Type R coilovers (99 spec).

I am curious to see what they have to say.

 

That's still an awful disparity between the fronts and rears for a ITR. Way too much understeer.

Don't forget that the WS coilovers for the Accord likely have different specs than the WS coilovers for the ITR.

 

the accord weight distribution is like 64/36. spring rates like that would be like... uhhh... like possibly the shittiest driving experience ever.

 

Sorry guys, I dont have an Accord(used to), and I dont have the WS Coilovers. I have the N1 dampers. The info I posted eariler was for the Type R N1 dampers. I would still like to know if the numbers I posted are correct. They do sound like a weird setup. Thanks.

 

Here are the numbers that I got from APEXi:

Front is 10k (558.8 lb.)

Rear is 4k (223.52 lb.)

Remember this is for an Accord V6, not an ITR. They drive fine. Handling is pretty nuetral, have not experienced any understeer.
