how long do you think til the shocks will blow?

 

I got the same idea going through my mind as well. Getting the lowering springs until the OEM shocks go.

I would imagine that the life would be cut in half...but how long would that be anyway?

 

same here I was thinking about some com-tech springs but did not want to trash the shocks just yet. then I thought about the HFP shocks for $500 witch might be the best way to go, until I get the money for a complete TEIN set up. does anyone know about the life of our stock shocks with lowering springs???

 

I've had mine on for a year, no problems

 

i wonder if there is any agx's for our cars yet..

 

im tryig to get the same springs

 

anyone

 

i got them but havent installed very cheap 65 looks brand new

 

H-Techs will work fine on stock shocks & struts. Won't sit as low, but lower than stock

 

Have S-Techs on my sedan with stock shocks. Just recently blew a shock on a nasty dip..... been on for a strong 15k with me beating them to death. Time for full coilovers.

 

arent he springs and struts seperate on our cars? ive been wondering how to even do the coilovers.

 

isnt that the rear? the front isnt separate.

damn im sorry. well time for coils like you said

do you have any pics of the blown shock? curious to know what it looks like.

 

you cant tell by looking at it... no visual signs. the ride just got horrible and really squishy.

 

oo i see.. well thanks

 

i have sportlines on stock shock and have for about 10k and still rides like new

yes, so why would you put coilovers on the front and not on the back. dont they come in a set of 4?

 

they come in a set of 4 i was just asking because that picture he stated that the shocks/springs were separate and he only showed a picture of the rear not the front.

 

thats what im talkin about. i posted that picture. why buy 4 coilovers if they cant be used in the back? this is the question.

 

put mine on back in March '06, so here we are almost 2 years later, no problems what-so-ever, prolly put close to 40,000 miles on them

 

the rear is differently made..

Ive had my prelude on stock shocks for over 3 yrs and they ride perfectly.Easily over 40K.
