Nice little collection you have going on. I advise you to get new brake lines, pads and rotors. Also to get the rotors off, you will need an impact driver. Those philips bolts won't budge without one

[mushroom_toy]

Ill prob get new pads and lines, but not rotors.

Got my ef coilovers. pics tomorrow.

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys here are the set of EF coilovers I got yesterday. The fronts are Nopi N1 brand, and the rears are Areospeed. I got them for free so Im not complaining. I think im gonna try t take that paint off of that one though, and I like em better yellow lol. ANway Im gonna be attempting to install these sometime this week, so look forward to it. These coilovers were on that white hatch that I had pictures of earlier in this thread, last page or page before. They have just stock struts but theyre not blows so Im gonna ride on these for a while hopefully.

[AccordB20A]

nice. i should have got new lines for my brakes too they look pretty worn lol

[mushroom_toy]

Lol.

[mushroom_toy]

And now for the sexy. Cleaned coilovers. I already have all of my top interior out as well, and will be spraying it black tomorrow. Im tired of the cobalt/graphite gray, and tan roof, so Im gonna fix it again lol.

Before:


After:

[mushroom_toy]

IM bumping this again look and comment bitches lol.

[labeledsk8r]

woot finly getting that 4X4 lower ehh?? lol how well do the civic coil overs do on the accord?? arnt they even lower?

[mushroom_toy]

^I think the rear is gonna dump my car 3"s to begin with so Im gonna raise the rear up to the highest setting, and see if that works. I want a 2 1/2 and 2 rear drop, or maybe less or more, depending on looks/driveability around here. First thing I have to do though is get my tophats off my stock coils tomorrow to mount onto these, so I guess the moment of truth is tomorrow.

Nice. cant wait to see pics.

true.. hopefully the top setting will be high enough to make up for there shortness. are you put adjustable controle arms on?? or just leaveing camber for now

[mushroom_toy]

^ Hopefully if I can get the drop I want camber wont be too bad, but if it is then Ill get the arms soon.

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys a quick update. Sprayed a good bit of my interior then the 2nd can of paint fucked up and is leaking. I have to return it, and get another before I can finish my headliner. Also gonna take the spring compressor I rented back as it is the wrong kind and im not using it anyway. Got the rear coilovers in and they are pimptastic. I raised them up a good bit and I only have about a 1 1/2 or 2 inch drop in back. Im gonna leave it that way for now. I do need to get longer bolts while im at the store though. Also was gonna start on the fronts but cant seem to get the nut off the shock on the driver side. I think im gonna wait a while, run to the store and then try again! Ill post pics when I get done. Lowering my car for less than $10....priceless.

[A20A1]

so you spring compressor didn't fit between the coils I remember renting one like that.

[russiankid]

Ill prob get new pads and lines, but not rotors.

The rotors are pretty cheap too

[mushroom_toy]

so you spring compressor didn't fit between the coils I remember renting one like that.

Well it was an internal type and of course we need external lol.

[mushroom_toy]

Uh oh the almighty teaser. I didnt want to slam it yet so dont hate lol. Anyway the ride is stiff as hell. I dont know if I can get used to this lol.

More pics tomorrow! And good ones.

[mushroom_toy]

Also the spring rates are 450 front, and I believe 350 rear. Im usure of rear since they are not marked. The ride is a little stiff, but I like the stance, and I can get some nice struts later or some other coils. For now you cant beat free!

[MessyHonda]

now do the front.

[labeledsk8r]

looks good, and stiff is alot better then bounchy... and i agree with messy... do the fronts now lol

[mushroom_toy]

Ive been done with fronts. Thats the point of the teaser....it isnt supposed to show everything damn lol. Im gonna get some good pics tomorrow. IM moderately lowered , thank god i havent bottomed out yet lol. I have a bad feeling about going to Atlanta now.

[mushroom_toy]

Pics arent the greatest cause its overcast as hell, but here they are. The front looks higher than the back, but its about level, the front tire is a 185, as the rear is a 195, and thats the diff, i believe. Im gonna leave the ride height alone or i might lower the font one or two more turns but its fine right now. i wish it would stop raiing so I could put another coat on my headliner, and get my interior back in the car lol.

[Civic Accord Honda]

damn looks good man! much better

[mushroom_toy]

SHanks.
