Only on the H&R/Neuspeeds springs would I say you could try that. All the other springs are going to have a rear rate high enough where it would be the right thing to revalve the rears to. That being said, if it were my car, I would revalve the rears, even on the H&R/Neuspeeds.

thanx, i plan on getin coilovers. So if i get the H.D's do i still get the revalved to 330 compression and 110 rebound or do you suggest even stiffer then that? and the coilovers im getting are the RACTIVE ones

[goldyaccord]

It's a shame Koni is Discontinuing the struts. but doesnt really matter to me since it's cheaper to revavle the Bilsteins..

[89AccordLvr]

goldyaccord , its not cheaper to get bilstein revalved, it'll come out to around $600 to get the strut and then get them revalved

[AZmike]

For the spring rates he was planning he would need to get the Konis revalved. Revalved Bilsteins are cheaper than revalved Konis.

Damit right when I have the money they discontinue them. Too bad I need the money for my JDM B20A. So far I have $1037.14 But I need to pay my bills with that money too. So I will have about $900 for the swap and then I will get student loan for all my tools and for parts for the engine. I'm thinking a $6000 loan will cover everything. $4000 for tools and tool chests, then $2000 for the engine and parts and then whatever I have saved up too for more parts. I need someone to make me a manifold for dual weber 45's for the b20a. I guess when I get it lowered I will have to end up buying bilistens.

Mike is right, It's cheaper to revalve the Bilstiens than to revalve the konis.

That was what I was talkin about.

[carotman]

Damn that just sucks...

I wanted to wait till next week to order them.... I guess I'm out of luck and stuck with my shitty tokicos.

[carotman]

I just ordered them from tirerack.com

The rears were in stock but the fronts were supposedly on backorder (sigh). I care less about the rears... my front bounces a bit too much with the tokico setup and my neuspeed springs

Now I'm broke for all my B20A project.... but oh well, It'll just take more time to complete.

Anyone willing to buy my Tokico setup??

i got some good news but its not 100 percent yet. Sprint Springs is coming out with a new line of Struts call XS Struts. I saw it on a Import Tuner mag and I decided to check their website but they didn't have them on the site yet. So i decided to email them and ask them if they would consider making struts for our cars since KONI is being discountined. He replyed to me today and said They Should have them and to check wit them in a month for the application. So everyone have your fingers-crossed and let's hope they can get us some struts

[Justin86]

Well I finally have enough money to get some. Is there still some to get, all 4 struts. Otherwise I will have to hope these sprint struts can do the job.

Sprint struts

How about some more info on that?

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Do not buy the sprint struts. They make promises that are to good to be true. One member on here bought them in spite of me advising other wise. He quickly found out they they're as bad as I thought. He removed them and replaced them with Koni's. I think he used the words, night and day differance.

[Justin86]

Well I better hope I can still get Konis.

[maka_RTH]

well, this sucks! i think i found out about this a little too late..., if only i never got activated... hopefully we can find something that will work in place of the koni's, cuz thats what i wanted. maybe they'll start makin them again if we have enough demand, or maybe a group buy? well, i'll have to look into it more when i get home...

[Justin86]

Yea it does suck.
