[gfrg88]

nice to see some people actually modding 3rd gens again.. keep us updated

[phillie]

Most definitely. Hopefully I'll be able to get all the bushings changed and the tires mounted on the wheels. I put the Civic Si's next to the stock wheels and its going to look good lowered!

[Rendon LX-i]

damit you got si wheels you asshole LOL...,i want a set so bad...so hard to come by and cost a grip...anywho...cant wait for outcome..

[phillie]

You're going to hate me more. I got 5 of them for $250!!! Tires are shit but its still a deal!

[Rendon LX-i]

DAMN.....i got my fat fives for 150 and just rims that was back in the day thou....NICE man...what tires you want to run......I would suggest the tires i got they got rim gruard idk how many times they saved me my rims from hell lol...my wife drove it ones she DROVE over a curve and im looking at her like wtf...rim was not even touched and tire had scuff marks other then that good shap.....Dulops Dz101s 205/50/15 would looks PERFECT ...im telling you man mine stick out alittle gives it that clean look...i would look into those or the new ones that just came out....

p.s if you look at my sig those are the tires

[phillie]

Thats a killa price for fat 5's! I think theyd look good powdered coated black with your color car.

Right now I have some Toyo t1rs 205/55/15 I'm going to run out. My wife doesnt drive my cars. She thinks its to old anyways. She has a 05 accord v6.

phillie, go ahead, there's no trouble posting up info on the vendor you got them from.

As for the horror stories, as I mentioned in another thread, the K-Sports and D2's (same mfg) were horrible c/o's when they first came out because of how stiff they were, and the fact that they self-destructed in no time. The good news is that they're on their 7th (or some crazy high number) 'generation' of their c/o's, and most reviews I've seen of the newer versions have been much better than the "they shit the bed on me on my first auto-x" or "one good turn that loaded up the corner and g'nite".

Please update us when you get them, and please look them over VERY well. Check out the springs and if they have any printing on them, make sure the rears match and fronts match.

I like your train of thought on getting the 'lude front arms, but I would also get adjustable rear upper control arms. Don't forget, now that you have much stiffer springs, that will highlight all of the old spent bushings that will also need to replaced, and will add more stress to the ball-joints. I would seriously look into doing an overhaul of the bushings and ball-joints.

Good info

There is a set at my local junkyard! Couldn't beleive it when I saw them sitting there

[bullard123]

Keep us updated on this project. I thought they only made coilovers for the newer model Hondas as well

Did you get them?????? I'm surprised they weren't gone already.

I found about the coilovers by reading other threads. Then I found out Ksport has them and there was no question that I was going to get the full bodied instead of the sleeve when the price was even cheaper. Who knows the GC's maybe as good or better.

As soon as I get them in I'll post up pics. I'm going to start my build thread soon. I already ordered the front end Prothane bushing kit, I'm waiting on my lude UCA (ehem b20a86lude), this weekend I should be getting my 5 speed swap and as soon as I go see my bro in L.A. I'll be picking up my Gales!

If they arew still there i will snag them and sell them here if there is enough interest. They will need to be sanded down and repolished though

No need to modify them to fit. They're the same for your year car.

[Rendon LX-i]

Ummm civic are taller and accord is smiller....I know you have to mod the tap itself on the strut since its off alittle...i know all bout it...thats why i said mod em little to make em work...but i got ya man

[bullard123]

I was talking about the Si rims lol....I think you guys are talking about the coilovers

[thegreatdane]

Subscribed. I'm curious what sort of ride this suspension brings with it and if they've made any further adjustments to accomodate the 3g suspension or if it's just the mix and match package.

[cygnus x-1]

672lbs in front?

600/400 is what I have on my 2g Prelude. It's a custom coilover setup made by Leda that I got from Dave Gran after he upgraded (http://www.goaheadtakethewheel.com/Home_Page.html). With 15" wheels the ride is about the stiffest you would want for a daily driver. On bumpy roads it can be a little annoying. For awhile I had 17" wheels with this setup and it was intolerable.

The Accords are a little heavier so 670 would be about right.

[Rendon LX-i]

would be really stiff....wouldnt mind that at all...my scion feels stiffer then my accord lol...so yeah that sounds about right

[phillie]

They said if you want different spring ratings you just need to ask. I'm use to high spring ratings so I'm not worried about it. My S2000 had JIC coilovers and 6 point roll cage and I loved how it handled.

[stat1K]

I'm on AZHT. I use to own a 06 LBP turbo S2000. You have the same name on there?
