Any idea where I might find a set of those Eibach springs?
I know about those, and yes they are $500. They are also actually the wrong springs. I read a thread somewhere that the guy ordered them, and the fronts are totally different. They look more like the springs for the 3rd gens. King springs says that they will fit a Australian 84-85 Accord. I don't know if the guy was ever able to get his money back though.
hmmm well there is another thread that 2ndgenguy made as a sticky for spax springs. I think there called bat. I spoke to them about 2 years ago and said that they can get a set of those springs and its alot cheaper i think around 200-250 shipped. Try looking around the site and youll find the thread.
Yeah, someone way back in the day, like 5+ years ago ordered 84-85 springs and wound up getting the coils from a 3g Accord. It was King Springs. They were completely wrong, and King insisted they were the right ones and that the Australian Accords were COMPLETELY different from the US ones, which is bullshit. They just have their parts listed wrong.
Yeah, I emailed them and had a back and forth email conversation with a guy there, and he had me measure the I.D. of the front springs, which is about 5.5" and they don't have anything even close to that. The front springs listed in their catalog for 82-85 Accord are completely wrong.
Well guys it's been awhile since I've last posted but I have some great news. Some of you may or may not have heard of wekfest but it's coming to Los Angeles in June and I got accepted to show off the se-I. Woot woot represent 2nd gen accords. There's still alot that I need to do to the accord a month before the show but I'll keep updating.
I was searching on craigslist today and came across an ad for a 1988-1989 accord dc sports header. I ended up getting the header for free because the guy originally wanted 40$ for it but I offered 20$. Well come to find out he said then I got there I could just have it because it was in bad shape.hopefully everything will go okay and I can get here installed on the Se-I this weekend

free dc headers!

Well I got both headers side by side and I'm going to just cut the stock down pipe and weld it to the rest of the DC down pipe and everything should be good to go. The header does not even touch the cross member it's pretty straight forward bolt on install pretty stoked.

Free dc headers!!!
Well I finally got the time to hook everything up I ended up just sanding down the header a little and just leaving it like that no sense in trying to paint it to look new when the car is already old as it is.
