[Volitech]

I finally got them on!!!! :cool2: And amazingly enough I didn't run into a single problem! It was only a one inch drop but I can definatly tell the differance and it handles a hell of alot better!!!

great job! Do you have stock rims? You must have the BEFORE and AFTER shots!!

Tell me how the ride feels, as i got the same setup in the works

I have 16" O.Z. racing rims and Kuma tires! But I don't have any before and after pics due to the fact that the body isn't in the greatest condition....

As far as how it rides it was definatly worth the money it rides so much better than when I had new stock suspension! But I still need to get outside the city on some back roads and open it up!

Where did you buy them and how much were they?

[Busted_Blue]

well, as far as installing goes, any trouble? what is the difference when you install these springs compared to replacing worned out shocks?

did you cut those bumpstops like tokico instructions said?

I got the struts off ebay for $230 and the springs I got from tokico for $69 shipped!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Definately need to see some pics.. I have tokico shocks, and I am curious about the springs/.

I would recomend buying all new bushing if you can afford it! Some of mine were getting bad but I couldn't get the one's i needed so i used the old one's and i'll have to go back and replace them sooner or later! And no I didn't cut the bump stops it didn't seem nessisary! or at leastthat's what me and my buddy determined!

wow im going the exact same route you are. JDMwerk is the seller right?

$220 (cuz im waiting for the auction to end lol) then add $63 for the springs. The springs are black and had a nice thin layer of dust or watever (could be from the box, i dunno)

The rates for these badboys are 66% front and 63% rear. I figured if I got the springs from Tokico, hell might as well get the shocks from them. Why would Tokico make springs and shocks that are imcompatible? (i hope thats not the case)

well, my bushings look fine, i checked them all last week. They don't need to be changed just yet.

Just get those pics up ASAP b/c I will buy those Tokico springs if they look nice. I was interested in H&R springs but For $68 shipped you cant go wrong. Plus it's only like .5" drop difference. And since its only an inch you shouldnt need camber correction unless your ride is already f-ed up.

[Busted_Blue]

I was about to get Neuspeeds. The price of tokico is tough to beat. I notice a lot of ppl say there is bounce with the Neuspeeds/Tokico Setup and others don't. I has occured to me that perhaps the Neuspeeds are TOO soft for the struts and not that the struts are too soft for the springs. Just a speculation on my part. Perhaps the Neuspeed are too soft..and causing bottoming outs because of that.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I figure since tokico makes both they have to be decent. I just want to see what it looks like though before I buy them.

everyone says that combo will feel like you have blown struts. thats not true is it?

[Volitech]

Not at all! My car rides great now!!!

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I hope that it looks great b/c I have wanted to lower my car for a long time and I don't have $1000 to spend to do it perfect. But I think I can spend $288 for it though.

[89cordlx]

hah looks like I am goin for it

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Here's a pics of his car he's getting more tomorrow in the day.

who is everyone, i have not seen these responses before.



pics: not bad. Perhaps more clearer pictures tomorrow will show the benefits.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I really don't know if I would want them, but the pic is hard to tell b/c its looking down at an angle so it may make the wheel gap look bigger. Volitech if you could get the whole car tomorrow from a side view and then a front and rear view that would be awesome! I will host the pics for you so just send them to me.

Thanks for giving me the pics.
