Perhaps one of you can help me with this. I have found a fairly cheep set of full coilovers https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=591054 and am going to be calling to get more information on them (quick bit - sold by Hayame, made, by Tokico, under $700 a set). One would think that a shock dyno would be avaiable, and that is what I am trying to get. I am not the best at reading them, and would like to know if there is another site out there that can explain the different nuances in reading them.

ceas..

 

Read this it might help:

"If the car has been involved in an incident by hitting a wall, guardrail, or another car, then it is best to at least have the shocks looked at," explains Greg Calhoun of Truechoice. "Most times after a hit, the shock will need to be serviced depending on how heavy the hit was." </TD></TR></TABLE>

wow. i hit the divider on the highway and my car sits lopsided. ive had the lca and subframe replaced already but the car still pulls left. shock replacement is next.

good read thanks

 

my thoughts on "full coilovers".

http://www.norcalcrx.org/tyson/coilover.html#07

 

Ceas, are those Hayame coilovers dampening adjustable at all? If they are just height adjustable, I don't think they would be worth it, even at $650.

Tyson, you have the Skunk spring rates reversed in your coilover write up. Skunk actually sells rear stiff setups believe it or not. My personal experience with them has not been great though, so this isn't really a big selling point.

 

front and rear are interchangeable....

 

Um, not on mine, since they are 8" in front and 6" in rear. I personally wouldn't want to run 436 lb 6" springs in front! Maybe this has changed in the last 2-3 years. Hopefully

 

news to me. what car.

 

Blah, you were right - no dampner adjustments...

ceas..
