I just picked up a used set of these for my DC5. I was curious does anyone have any info on these? instructions, settings, how to adjust, anything???

Anything I come across I will post here. I guess I should add some pics to the thread. Will be installing them in a few weeks. Still waiting on the SPC rear camber kit in the mail.

bump. im interested to know about these coilovers too

 

Yeah I am hoping the instructions explain everything I want to know. At least him and I will have reviews of these coilovers once they are installed.

 

Apex does no make the N1 suspension for the dc5, and they do not make any type of coilover suspension kits for any productions cars made by honda after 2000

I'd love to disagree, but... http://www.apexi-usa.com/suspe...s.asp

According to the official site, they don't make any suspension components for the DC5.

Not saying this is true, just letting you know what the Official Site says.

 

maybe you guys should check the 2004 price list before you actually say something doesn't exist..

 

hmm that means its time to take pictures of the box and parts. But I don't care if this part doesn't exist. Just give me more information on it. Me and Midnight Runner will be running using this coilover setup.

Post some info. Springweights, overall weight, recommended ride height, etc.

I hope you guys did not buy these without this information

 

I didn't get info, the seller knew his stuff, but it was hard for me to remember that from then until when I put them on. Basically he set them so they are at a 2 finger gap from the tire and fender and they are clicked at their firmest setting. I didn't spin that adjustment all the way, but I think it really is 32 clicks. But then it could be like the Tein Flex where it seems to go more than it says.

What am I looking for on the springs for the info?

 

I was just trying to find info on the proper way to adjust coilovers. I think its somewhat general between most of the brands though. How to preload, how much to preload, how to figure out the easiest way to lower the car to the desired height, etc. But after reading lots of threads I get the idea somewhat.

 

go to tein.com these should be similar to tein flexes. they have a pdf of the install manual. they also have so specs to preload and height adjustment for them

 

8 kg front springs
9 kg rear springs

confirmed from multiple sources including apexi themselves..

 

yay!! info. Did you end up getting yours yet? When are you installing? Can I come by and put mine in at the same time? Where are you gonna do an alignment?
