Look at these coilovers on eBay........ eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1848642856&r=0&t=0)

Has anyone heard of these? I have H&R Sport springs right now but I'm debating getting some coilovers 4 adjustablity. Let me know what u think about my situation, i'm always broke so i need a good deal, but I don't want crap that's worse than what I have.

The only input i have is that most of the time the cheap ebay coilovers are extremly bouncy. I'd say save up and get some skunks2's or ground controls.

Yeah don't do it... You may be able to lower but your ride quality will suck. Why would you ditch the H & Rs? What springs and struts are you using....?

Doh! When ever you do suspension on our cars you have to replace the shocks and struts with ones designed to handle the new springs.. If you don't very bad things will happen to your suspension things that will cost more to fix than if you put the time and money in it in the first place. My suspension is going to rip my account to shreads.... Close to $800. :( it will be worth it in the long run though.

Did you get your exhaust today, and rims yesterday? Snap some pictures of that when they are on and while your at it snap some of the teg console! How much did that mod cost you to do? I plan on doing that soon.

Ive seen DFarres car, and lemme say, its tight! The teg console looks really good, and his stereo setup really well. He mentioned the problem with the right strut when I talked to him also, the H+R's were also on the car when he got it.

By the way, my dad found out about my sub when he was looking in my car cause I borrowed his cordless drill, and he wasnt that mad, he thought it was stupid, but he didnt really trip. So I dont gotta hide that anymore which is a plus

Well, 4hrs till the bidding ends on my HX rims, I hope nobody else bids one em cause right now they are only $66 and im still winning!

I get my exhaust for the second time today & I got my wheels yesterday (they look SWEEEET) I'll probably put them on tonite. The console was installed when I bought it but i'm gonna recover the arm rest soon with vinyl. I when to a fabric store on Monday and i found vinyl that matches my interior exactly.

KYB GR2 Struts are really good and inexpensive. I got a whole set for $160 shipped from driverfx.com

did u put the bracket on ur intake?

I couldnt figure out how that shit goes on, but it seems pretty secure with the extra hose clamp I added.

cheap coilovers suck. i tried them on the Si. i'm not happy. i wish i still had the lowering spring i bought it with. i only have coilover so i can raise the car when it snows.

i'm thinking about putting spring on the 4 door and just parking it in the winter. or i might get some v-spec's coilovers again. they were $250 when i bought my first set 2 summers ago. with my luck they're now $350, lol

i just bought some drop zone coilovers but will not get them on untill i come across some shocks. my hatch is my daily driver / project car so i only do stuff to it when i find really good deals. but, as long as i am happy then i am fine :D

Melt....


Hey, I bought that same intake for my DX off of ebay and it fits in exactly like yours does. You gotta make sure that its in there real good and doesnt bounce around cuz if it hits the positive terminal of the battery.... you could be pretty screwed. I use a zip-tie cuz im not too worried about looks rite now. Also, i couldnt figure out where to put the bracket either, so if you figure it out lemme know.

mine doesent hit the posi terminal of the battery, it comes right next to it / below it

heres kinda a crappy diagram
+
---------}
battery }{intake tube]
---------}[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]

It comes below it so its pretty good. I will try to snap a pic of it at another angle sometime.

I couldnt get it on there good origionally, so I used an extra hose tie to stop it from bouncing, now it barely moves
