I bought this clean ej1 recently and it does need struts and springs bad.

This is what im going to buy. Please tell me what you think and or what else i need.

Kyb gr-2 shocks all the way around
ebay adjustable coilovers
x4 kyb Strut mount plates
x4 kyb rubber absorber and washer kit.

 

What do I think? You have to be kiding me.

What else do you need? Quality shocks, and coilovers.



Those KYB shocks are noithing more then OEM replacements, and wil never hold up to coilovers.

And Ebay coilovers? Total and complete ****, period.

 

What's the party line? Oh right.

Koni Yellows
Ground Control coils

Adjustable, reliable, and lifetime warranties on both. If you're going to do something with your car, do it right the first time, or you'll end up paying for it twice anyway. Spend more money now, save your money later.

 

agree with this 100% .........

 

Moved to suspension forum.

Please read the schticky at the top of the forum, and return here for further suggestions and concerns about the setups mentioned in my thread. It's also in my signature if you have trouble finding it.

 

I have camber kit for front and rear already, Imma try this for now

 

So your going to buy the suspension you listed?


Ebay camber kit as well?

 

Why do you people post up if you've already made up your mind? Damn kids. It's obvious that you are broke as hell if you're getting this combo. In less than a month your shock will be blown and you'll be back here.

 

I've had my car setup with AGX shocks and ebay coil overs for some time. The springs had 350 stamped on all 4. Then, I changed to H&R sport springs on AGX's. I like the ride with ebay coil overs a lot more! I've never had a problem with any of them failing, just failed bushings. But since then, I've sold everything and going to purchase AMR.

I'm not suggesting those KYB shocks or ebay coil overs although I've never had a mechanical problem with them. I've wasted a lot of time and money switching things out. Try to push for at least a Ground Control and Koni yellow combination. AMR's can be purchased for just a little more. After my AMR's go in, they will not be coming out. This is what I should've done in the first place.

 

This is what many of us learned the hard way over the years. Spending 30-50% more money actually saves you money in the long run because you aren't getting a new setup every year due to unhappiness of product failure.

Do it right the first time, many of us serve as prime examples of people who've wasted money on cheap parts, didn't like the results, tried more cheap parts, and eventually wised up and bought good **** and are infinitely happier.

I can't tell you how much I like walking out to my car that has a real Si front lip, Real Red CTR Recaros, A Function7 Brace, and Real Volks. You feel a lot better about your hobby knowing you did things correctly and didn't half-*** anything.

 

Going to go? I think that's how it just went.

 

well cause everyone on here thinks that U cant make ebay combos work when you can.
U dont need best of the best all the time.... And my camber kit is skunk2 thank you..and for the most part... I going with the kyb agx and ebay coils I know two kids that have the same combo and i rode in his ej1 and it rode fine and he had them on there for 3 years....

 

So why did you even bother asking? Waste of time.

 

Ride quality is subjective. My car used to bounce like a ****ing jumping bean, and my buddy was like " this **** rides fine, foo"

 

these n00b threads are getting out of hand.. similar to the BWR thread from a day or two ago: https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/blackworks-sub-frame-brace-3020589/

mods. please close registration so we don't have to sift through these threads day after day and keep ourselves calm from reading ignorance.

 

I can and will perform the former.

This thread was over before it started.
