Default Hayame Full coilovers? Anyone know of them?

I have come across a full coilover system for my 96' accord. It is made by Hayame and is pretty pricey. The system is made by tokico but it looks like a well made, direct swap kit.

My question is, has anyone heard of anyone elses experiences with these coilovers or has anyone here riden in a car with them installed?

Thanks!

Nathan.

Never heard of Hayame before. But since Tokico is involved with them, they can't be that bad. By the way, just how pricey are they? If they are in the area of $800, just go with Teins instead.

Hayame makes some kick *** products and yeah their expensive. I had their full exhaust system on car when it was N/A. i would get it if i were you and since tokico as anything to do with it is a added A++++. CAN"T GO WRONG WITH HAYAME & TOKICO.

Which Apexi coilovers you talkin about, the WS or the N1's???? I got the Apexi WS coilovers on my 90 Accord, and they would also fit the 95 Accord, same part number, and I love them. They ride beautiul, and I'm dropped to a tight 1 finger gap all the way around, and can still drop it more!!!! I only paid $850, and you can probably find them cheaper. The N1's are more like $1400 or more.

junk, true coilovers are not meant for dropping the car 4 inches, they are meant to be able to easily add negative camber and help corner weighting for performance


research a little more beyond Honda-Tech

the ride is adjustable, the spring collar is threaded directly to the shock

Yes lowering the car means adding negative camber. lowering my car 1 inch gave me right at -2 degrees of camber, which is the limit of how much you want to have.

Bringing it up from the dead...anyone else? Its a relatively new product so the info available does seem exactly easily to attain.

just buy them already, they sound good to me and $650 aint a bad price as long as you dont mind not be able to adjust the dampening rate.
