Triple S... Besides breaking (might be plain bad luck?) they aren't low enough by far and a little bouncy. So I'm gonna go 2.25 inch lower with better shocks I guess (after a large amount of searching on the board for the best struts and springs).. The bodykit will be scraping speed bumps, but as long as it drives good and looks good it's okay I guess!
Installed the Pacesetter headers today. Cut the EGR pipe off and welded it and plugged the two O2-holes. When I was finished, brought it to my pro welder right away so he can weld the wheel arches and other rust around the car. Therefore there was no time to make pics, and kinda forgot to!
He said he could probably make it to finish it tomorrow, so pics will have to wait till then!
Did you look at this set?
I like it.

KSport CHD240-KP
Forgot to make pics?
your car is looking good man
old accord new meanings
Working on it step by step. Next up will be the rest of the exhaust and lowering (take 2)...
Yeah I was looking for K-sport too indeed. Since I'm not gonna use it for circuit driving, I think it will be okay for my car. And the full adjustability attracts me definitely!
And yeah, I kinda forgot to make pics while installing. Afterwards there was no time left, already came late half an hour at my welder's place!
But with a little luck I'm picking it back up today, so in that case pics will come today or tomorrow
Thanks mate.
I'd say keep an eye on this thread then!
BTW, my welder called me an hour ago. He's only got to fix the left side of the car today. It was rusted away more than he thought at first... Because tomorrow is Easter, I'm probably getting the car back monday evening! Sooo, the pics have to wait a few days longer!
Due to the large amount of time school is taking away I haven't been able to make pics yet (not even talking about the yearly test it has to go through, so I'm not allowed to drive now) I haven't had time to make a lot of pics yet. I've only got one, actually. You can see that the Pacesetter's coating is just for sales/marketing purposes. Only drove about 15kms with the thing installed now. Performance increase is slightly noticable (still got the stock exhaust)...
Oh yeah, the pic:
Next upgrade will be Ksports coilovers. Recently saw a thread were someone got them for really cheap, but that was back in 2009. Does anyone know a cheap dealer? Otherwise It'll just be Ebay...
Together with the Ksports I'm gonna need something to correct the camber (suggestions are welcome! ).
Also, I'm looking to replace bushings with PU bushings. Haven't really got an idea where to get them or how much they cost, but will do research when I've got time!
Found some K-Sport dealers in Europe, but the set seems to be al lot more expensive there, then when ordered in the USA yourselves.
I'll be ordering them somewhere this summer.
How low do you wanna go? I dropped accords before (only by shorter springs), but there was not mutch visible camber.
How much are they where you found them? For me ordering them from ebay wouldn't be worth it. I've been thinking about getting them too, but can't quite afford it atm.
The K-sport dealer in Finland wants 699€ for them shipped, on ebay they're about 600€ + shipping + customs fees and VAT. Would probably make it around 850€ that way.

I'm sure they'll have/get them if you ask, probably just haven't updated the websites.

I think the €699 shipped will be shipped to Finland only. For other countries there will be a higher shipping fee.
Thereby, you still have to pay 23.5% sales tax and customs, right?
Something else: got my sticker in today!
Still don't know if I'll put it on the outside or under the hood though..
Guys, I'm leaving the 3geez scene. My Aerodeck can't seem to get through the inspection due to major rear wheel arches damage and some other failures. At least it's not something I can fix. Also, I've had some financial throw-backs which will not alow me to let it fix and get further on the performance of this car. The need of purchasing almost every single performance part from the USA has taken it's toll.
Conclusion: The Aerodeck needs to go.......
EDIT: I've been thinking about it all day, but I just can't sell it!! So I'm gonna keep it, might not be worked on for a while but this car will not leave me now!
