Default My 1981 Accord Pictures Thread

I guess I'll just create my own thread for my 81 Accord mainly for the pictures and the work I did to it as the time goes on.

The coilover works awesome aside from the noises from the springs not seating properly on the stock top spring perch. I think I gotta get rid of them all altogether and fabricate myself a pair of custom camber plates :D Besides, the springs are mounted way too low due to the design of the strut mount and bearing assembly and I'm losing travel if I want to maintain the old ride height. And yes I do have plans to go lower :D

A LOT less than this I hope :p


I need to clear my header before I can go any lower as my passenger side axle is hitting it now. Looking forward for another inch or so of drop then I can start doing the rears as well.

Then moar PICS time!

^Haha! I really dislike camber, but to see one done with such moderation is really refreshing. You have nothing to apologize for. The shots and the car are amazing! (And I'm glad to see you don't keep the hood off, as good as the bay looks.)
