Pics Of Car And 2001 coupe H&R\Koni Suspension Install-Review
pics are here http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4290755087
This Past Weekend h&r race springs and koni sp3s were installed as well as a cl-s rear sway w\ neuspeed poly bushings and brackets. I also had front and rear ingalls kits installed. The front kit had to be slightly modified so as not to have any ball joint rubbage. The Konis were set on the middle of the five perches cause i am paranoid about potholes. Konis on medium settings i noticed quite an increase in handling over my old setup (tokico blues\h&r sport). Also a much stiffer and joltier ride. A bit of squeak comes from the rear poly bushings despite greasing. Overall i say i am happy with the setup; rides like its on rails, although if you have the money go for some true coilovers.
comments welcome good and bad
thanks for ur time

BTW, pretty much all of my squeaking went away. My 250+ lb friend rode with me the other day and it seemed to have settle my suspension in, I highly recommend it haha. It also warmed up a bit, that may have helped too. I'm running sportlines with the sp3s and it rides soo much nicer than stock struts w/ the sportlines. The car feels more solid in general, much less bouncy, and has a near stock feel when set on full softness. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to install my progress rear sway, I'll post a full review later. I've been too busy to even adjust them yet, its a pain in the a$$ to adjust the rear on 5th gen coupes. Anyone have some advice on this?
edit: note to anyone installing Koni yellow sp3s, the mid perch height setting is a little lower than stock. I can't clear the same speedbumps that I used to with stock struts, I learned that the hard way today
