Dampers (a.k.a. shocks) + What's Available

[EricW]

I hope this turns out since I love to have a set of externally adjustable shocks. Otherwise i may just have to send my konis in like guaynabo89 did.

[Legend_master]

Well I would be willing to try out the whole kit (I will do all the installation and everything involved in tuning), but we would have to figure something out for the shipping (maybe split it down the middle or something, I dont know). I understand the hesitation to send them to someone you dont know, but I would be willing to work it to somehow. I just really want this to get going and I want to help in any way I can. Also will they be ride height adjustable or not?

[L3G10N]

the kit wont be ride height adjustable

[Oldblueaccord]

I might be interested as well. My cars stock suspension more or less.

The shipping state side might be a problem back and forth.

PM if you need me. Ill need more details about the shop and all which I dont mind keeping private.


Edit: Ill be in Upstate New York first week in October

[L3G10N]

I'll speak with 'em to see what's possible about shipping and maybe get more than one kit to try.

Nothing is private, ask what you want and i'll answer with pleasure.

[MessyHonda]

i would test it but i would have to take it off to ship it back so they can check what went right or wrong.....well first of all i would like to thank you since you are representing our old school accords....why cant you try them? you got a b20 right?

[L3G10N]

i can't try 'em myself simply because the car still not running. I won't put the stock B20A in. The engine won't be ready before late winter i guess. I still have to convert the brakes for SEi and need to do the interior. But for this last part, i am waiting for the second sponsor(sonXplus/Pioneer). They offered me something but i am waiting the official paper. So I won't put the interior back untill i know what will happend with the audio.

[L3G10N]

oh and another point, winter is knocking at our door. My car won't EVER ride in snow again.

[L3G10N]

Ok I am a little lost with the price is that for the whole kti or just the front? Also what is PCS and is that canadian prices.

[L3G10N]

Price is in CDN money for sure. And by PCS, he means each shock.

[Legend_master]

So does that mean I could just buy the rears or do I have to buy the whole kit. Would it make it cheaper if I sent him one of my old struts and had him redo that. I have springs, I just need stiffer struts for the rear.

[L3G10N]

yes u can buy the rear only. The point is that we want to have something for the front more than the rear. As for sending the old unit, i'll ask him. I am pretty sure you can get a discount but it won't be real big since old unit can be found in any junkyard for almost nothing.

As for the price, this is for only one set. We will have a better discount if we buy more in one shot. as a group buy.

[BITESIZE]

Holy shit, I'm down for a set!

Ok that all sounds great, I believe a group buy woudl be the best way to get this going. I am sure there are people out there looking to upgrade and the price is pretty reasonable.

150cnd=134.12uds so that is around 550+ shipping for the whole set...with that much i can buy 2 sets of tokicos for my 2 accords.

Tokicos aren't the greatest buddy.

[MessyHonda]

Tokicos aren't the greatest buddy.

best we can get tho... unless you mod some other type like civic shocks

[gfrg88]

best we can get tho... unless you mod some other type like civic shocks

yeah but its just an OEM replacement.....id love to get a whole set of those, i think its a reasonable offer

[Legend_master]

best we can get tho... unless you mod some other type like civic shocks

That is why this thread was made. So what point are you trying to get across? We are saying that the tokicos are cheap, because they are not very good for performance. That is why you pay 150 a strut for these.

[L3G10N]

we can talk around 135$us each! But thos shock wont EVER make your car bouncy! With those, you'll be able to drop your car 2.25" and keep the car stiff as hell! The shock is not like you want? you can make em adjusted for real cheap! Even almost nothing! And things are done in 24hours! What do you want better than this?

And 135$us is the price without a group buy! Remember this! I talk with 'em and they are ready to start the groupbuy for a group of 10!

[carotman]

There are nice developpements made on this thread so far. Legion we need to talk
