very nice! it's like a cleaner (by alot) of mine! and added a few more goodies that I don't have :(


Nice pictures. Is the car running?


quick question, is the front slotted rotors put on incorrectly?

[A20A1]

Wowzers !

Looks so clean.

Please List the parts. :)

[carotman]

That's a realllly nice setup. I got to get some of those eurethane bushings for my sway bar!!!

And yeah, the front rotors are installed backwards.

freakin sweet mother!

[Justin86]

clean, too bad it won't last for too long daily driven

[epic1400cs]

Wow, very beautiful set up. Did you refurbished or do you drive it only when the weather is fine? Great.

[Strugglebucket]

thanks for the compliments!

here's the parts:

sprint springs
koni shocks
brembo front rotors
power slot rear rotors
aem pads front and rear
techna-fit stainless steel lines
suspension techniques front and rear sway bars
dc strut bar

p.s. the rotors are installed correctly. with the brembos the slots don't go all the way to the edge of the rotor so it's not supposed to "pump" out the gasses. the front of the slots are supposed to contact the pad first.

thanks for the clearing up about the slots. Anyways, great setup! I'm jealous.

[bobafett]

wow thats a really nice seup... makes me want to clean up all my suspension...

[Strugglebucket]

eh, it won't last for long. that's why i took the pictures:)

[catalin]

Do you have a part number or a length for those brake lines???

[SteveDX89]

Looks great. I wish I had those goodies.

wow it's a $150 now..


Man you need to get your car out and meet up with some of us bay area heads. :)

[Strugglebucket]

hopefully going to smog it this weekend. i need to *ahem* "prep" it first. then i need brake and lamp inspections so i can get my salvage title. thank god the techna-fits say d.o.t. on all the lines.

it really says dot on them?! wth cool. I dont remmeber seeing that...

[Strugglebucket]

yeah it's on the plastic jackets on the ends.

[3G Jester]

thats orgasmically delicious. you should eat off of it before you get it dirty. just to do it. the entire thing lookks new! did you do lude control arms and stuff too or what? you listed the parts but details details.......beautiful though. i hope the av6's legs look that nice when im done

[Strugglebucket]

yup, lude arms in the front. i elongated the slots a bit so hopefully i'll be able to get the camber within where i want it. in the rear i used about a ¼" worth of washers on each side.

i replaced all of the bushings on the entire suspension (mostly moog, some honda) except for in the rear i couldn't find the one that the lower bolt for the shock goes through. also i left the ones that were on the trailing arm where it bolts to the rear knuckle (i don't think they're meant to be replaced anyway).

also replaced all the balljoints (three five), the outer tie rod ends (three five), front wheel bearings (honda) and wheel studs (arp).

anyway, i have no idea where the alignment's going to be at after replacing all this stuff. i'll probably have to get it aligned and then take it back again after everthing has settled. need to find a shop that will listen to me when i say the front camber is adjustable. :mad:

oh, speed bleeders on the calipers too. those things are great!

[bobafett]

yeah took me a while to realize the speed bleeders are 3/8" and not metric lol... i have them in the fronts. i need to buy the 8mmX size for the rear... the 10mmX do not fit.. :)

[epic1400cs]

The stabiliser (or swaybar) bushes (donut ones) to the lower arms seems to be clamped together rather than 2 up, 2 down a bit of space in between. Is this the normal set up from ST kit or your special arrangement to eliminate the movement?

Also, rear Konis, I can see the spring seat painted in black but looks more like one from OE shock. Is that from KONI(I thought KONI spring seat is flat and uni-crome plated) or your creativity? Looking great though!

do you have the rear discs? i used the same size front and rear.

yeah, i'm kinda pissed about having standard sized bolts on my honda:lol:
3/8 for the bleeders and 9/16 on the banjo bolts. makes me feel like i'm at work, reaching for standard wrenches.

that's the standard setup for the bushings as far as i can tell.

on the spring seat, i think you might just be seeing the shadow from the pic. however, i did transfer over the rubber insert that sits inside the oe perch. i also used the insulators from the stock springs on the rear and the dust cover for the shocks, trimmed ½" as per koni's intructions when using the taller setting.

i have rear drums... maybe i just need to try again, but i swear it wasnt going to fit. also it may be because i have 86 and you have 89? they did use different brake systems... though rear parts were "same" maybe this is a difference.

and with my technafit lines, i think i used 19mm for the banjo bolts, cant remember off the top of my head though...

but your right, it feels weird having that crap on my car! :D
