Okay, so I'm gonna be un-lazy tomorrow and install the following:



very impressed with these, yea they're not spoon but I like em

then i'll install these....

ohhhhhhh yea !!!!

okay.. now here comes the hard part... I want to install these but I have a question


okay... shouldnt it be 450 in the front and 350 in the rear?!?!?
and if it should, can i just switch the springs or do i need to take them back?

 

Nice choice of spring rates. With the current setup of 350F and 450R, the car should handle nicely with a tad bit of oversteer. I wouldnt change it.

 

Well, I would run 350front/450rear. You can do whatever you want though, obviously.

Also, the 8" springs should go in front and the 7"s in the rear... don't know what they gave you...

 

awesome thanks alot guys! now... i thought the whole idea was to get the weight off the FRONT wheels? so wouldnt i want them reversed?

 

 

is that the carbon fiber "look" mirrors? or are they real carbon fiber, its hard to tell from the pic, but they look fake to me.

 

cf "look" shhhhhh dont tell

 

I wonder if they would look more like real carbon fiber if you clear coated those mirrors. Just a thought.

 

quite possibly that would help....

 

or make them look worse

 

but whats up on those springs... now im being told at HAN that it's 450 front 350 rear and not 350 front and 450 rear? *Shrug*

 

what the **** is han? honda-acura.net? get the **** outta there.

Here in America we set cars up with a rear bias in the springrates to promote oversteer. If you've ever raced your car around corners, you'd know why this is a good idea. Lot easier to get quicker times that way than pushing through every corner like a pig.

Only reason I've ever figured that the JDM springs come with those goofy spring rates is because their tracks are ultra-smooth and they love to tire stagger - things most of us don't have access to or do...

Oh, I just squinted at your label, you have 8" 350s that go in front. 7" 450s that go in the rear. Call GC or ask us, but stay away from HAN.

 

All of the suspension setups ive seen and used have the higher rates up front.

 

AWESOME! That was just the reply I was looking for! Thanks again... I figured with the added weight on the front it would help steering, will this however effect my speed at all? Or acceleration?

 

listen to Skye because he is an angry black man

 

Awesome!

So I guess it'll be fine. Daily driving usage probably wont do me any noticable good... however autox

But this wont decrease acceleration?

 

top also... am I going to need a camber kit when I'm dropping 1 1/2"???

I'm told it's a good idea to get one

 

no.

where are you getting this ****? lol

man, I am probably 2.5 inches down...adjusted my toe and thats it

gotta love camber. Nothing looks worse than a slammed car with straight up wheels l l

 

i work at an automotive shop and all the mechanics there were lookin at what i have sayin that im gonna go through tires like socks....

the way i see it, im gonna be gettin new tires alot anyway...

but im just make sure all will be good with the spring rates i have, and it wont affect my launches..

 

you;'ll go through tires fast if your toe is out of wack

 

yea ill just make sure to adjust it...

 

i keep on hearing you talking about how you'll end up with more 'weight' in the front than in the back.... so, out of curiosity, do you even know what the spring rates mean?

My front camber is out of spec and I never had any tire wear until my toe was out of whack. It was also obvious from the wear that it was a toe problem.

 

Hahaha, just dont throw in an ITR rear swaybar cuz you already got mad oversteer with that setup.
