suspension idea

[oscwrestler]

so i found a set of 911 carera coilover on craigslist for dirt cheap.
what are some hang ups i'd have with installing those?

[HondaBoy]

well for one the coils diameter would have a big thing to do with that. also the height they are may be higher or lower than what the accord already has. and third, they are for a porsche, not a honda. i'd be willing to be if you will look a bit harder you can find a nice used set of coils made specifically for your accord. i'm sure i've seen a nice set of drop springs for not too much on ebay over the years.

On any other forum this thread would turn into an absolute fucking bloodbath.

Anyways...

Hangups would include that shit never ever working since eeeeverything is different. Shock length, mounting points, the way it actually mounts, suspension type, diamter of spring, the actual damping curves...

In short, forget it.

Wow, if I could afford to own a Porsche, I woudln't touch a set of eBay coilovers.

[86AccordLxi]

Ha, no. It's stock 911 suspension that a guy is selling b/c he bought Pss9 coilovers.

I'm assuming that's the ad he's talking about, at least.

not to but in on your bashing but I think he was talking about these type. Carrera is a shock name.

No, he says 911 carrera, not carrera shocks.

<--Knows the difference.

Plus, since I browse the same craigslist as he does, I'm fairly confident in my assessment.
