Coilovers arrived! Bag of "O" rings as well. Why?
My brother just got these coilovers (Hyperion) for his 95 Accord and for some reason there is a bag of 20 or so "O" rings that came along with them. I e-mailed the guy since there were no instructions. Any ideas? There are different thickness "O" rings in that bag :confused:
Thanks!
Thanks!

I was thinking maybe to cushion between the shock and sleeve. They didn't come with my Ground Controls. Thanks anyhow.

Everyone a bit fiesty eh?
The o-rings are designed to create a fit between the shock housing and the inside of the sleeve.
And remember children, play nice.

I was being disrespectful. I just said "flea market", instead of going through the whole process of how buying no namw brands, off of <U>ebay</U> is a bad combo, but I skipped that.
Modding your car is far more than just buying. Take the time to research each product and see what people are using. They buy them for a reason. Thanks Kazman for the words said

as others have stated they create a better tight fit between the shock body and spring pearch sleave. And they also came with my Ground Control kit.

To sum it up: Just because it's a brand name and cost a lot doesn't mean you'll get a great product or the product will be better than the no name stuff.
Once again I didn't ask if they were good quality or what you thought about them.

9 out of 10 people on this board will never push their car close enough to the limit to understand suspension, I have spent close to three grand on my suspension alone and still plan on upgrading to even higher spring rates
can you tell me the spring rates of that setup? are they progressive or linear springs?

That's wonderful. I wont give my opinion anymore. No offense, but its people with attitudes like yours that make me puke at the import scene today.
I've researched the $hit and of other things plenty of times. Have experience installing a lot of this stuff. Here's my thought on brand name stuff: Had Neuspeed sport springs: Great ride / $hitty look! Ground Control Coilovers: Love the look since I can drop to my taste / $hitty design when using Bilsteins / rides NO better than my friends h/b who is on cheap coilovers and OEM shocks

Well, even still, your car will be plagued with awful wheel hop. A properly tuned suspension and motor mounts are essential...

man you really should just take a little while and cool off you seem to have a lot of pent up aggresion and you are taking it out on people for stupid reasons. just because he said flea market because that is what they look like is no reason to jump on his case and another thing, ebay is not the best place to buy things for your car unless you want rice crap. i was also wondering why you are putting in a B18c in your accord instead of just getting an H22a with that wing and kit you may need the extra torque of the bigger motor to make your 4-door scream as you say.
just my .02 cents

I guess we are of different opinions then, I don't see the point in doing the damage drag racing does to a car without being in it for the money, but hey whatever floats your boat, if you ever have a suspension question feel free to ask
I belive his B18 is going into his Civic
