Some Knowledge On Lowering My CB7 (Noob)

[kouzie]

lol yes i spoke to someone and they told me the same ..

Do Kyb struts really got for like 40 for each one ..i googled and saw that for each one was around that price so i can slowly buy then add ??

$40 each? really?
if you had $$$ go with tokico or koni

We are on the same boat dude. Aftermarket springs and stock shocks literally become a boat ride. It'll seem okay at first, but after a few months the stock shocks will blow.

Saving up for coilovers now

Yup....At first it feel okay but than later it ride like shit
But its better than ebay coilover on stock shocks

Tein coilovers just came in not too long ago..waiting for the weather..

its camber...and with a 1.5" drop your not going to notice much and youll be wishing you had gone at least 1.8" which you can get away with no problem with the camber it will produce

Yeah seriously. That ain't even worth it, IMO. Like dude said you ain't even gonna hardly notice a 1.5" drop. Camber kit ain't a big problem tho. I would just go with a lower drop and then camber it up.

[93SM4_CB7]

Yeah Sounds like something DEF Worth saving up for.. and the 40$ Thing was a biggg Typo ..i meant 75$ish for each one..so looks like ill be savving and the 1.8 dropp sounds like a plan ..i want to knotice the dropp but not extremely =)

AND THANKS FOR EVERYONES IMPUT!!! EVERYONE THIS SITE HAS BEEN HAVING ME COMING BACK FOR MORE ..FIND MYSELF CHECKING IT UP 3XS A DAY =) .. .

and as far as the tein suspention.. its prob the best if not one of the best but its def $$$$$$ (Costly), Think ill go with the Kyb adjustables struts , Mt friend has a CD5 and says Ground.Control are the best from his piont of view , can anyone "X2" this ?

[rum_n_coke]

i have kyb gr2 shocks and eibach pro kit springs... it rides nice and gave it a little drop. unfortunately not low enough for me so i bought a set of h&r race springs and planning on getting the kyb agx shocks...

[The-Gr8-Ox]

i've gone the inexpensive route before on my old civic, its okay,
i'm going full tein coilovers w/ the edfc controller
i'ma doin this cb up right,

but do what you got to do to fit your budget! good luck

[mndude07]

Some people get lucky and get away without a camber kit. You'll just have to lower it first and see. If you go 1.5" you'd be safe with a cheaper shock like the kyb gr2's everyone's been mentioning, but not stock shocks.

If you go any lower, I would think about a stronger shock though. Tokico HP's, Illuminas, Koni Yellows or Reds, KYB AGX's, etc.

One thing you might wanna consider is....

Decent Drop Springs - $220+
Struts that won't blow out in a month - $300+

if your thinking ground controls...
Ground Control Coilover Sleeves - $300-350
Struts that Won't blow out in a month - $300+

So right there your spending $520-650 on only a decent setup. When you could at least get some Function Form full coilovers for only about $680 shipped. And these allow you to adjust the bottom of the shock body to lower your car instead of actually adjusting the perch.

The f-1's have no damping adjustment though. For 600, you may as well get the neuspeed super cup kit. The shocks have 5 perches of height adjustment, and the shock rebound is adjustable on the car.

Personally, I believe the cup kit suspension is superior to the type-1's in terms of performance.

Now if you want to talk about f-2's then thats different, but that's also probably getting out of this guy's price range.

Hmmm...did not know about those super cup kits...those would also be a good choice. Though a lot of people I've known who had Neuspeeds have had their springs sag bad...or was that H&R...crap haha

Probably H&R....I have never heard of Neuspeeds sagging....and I've had mine on the car for almost 2 years, with no sag.

that looks shotty to me, looks like cheape shocks painted blue with tokico stickers, and i've never heard of KCR springs, like ever!

i wouldn't buy it, I've never seen a decent manufacturer paint over the bushings and have it peel with out it being used..

i'm going to say they're knock offs

one more thing, kcr's don't even have a legit website, look em up on google, all you get ebay bids. pure crap!!!

3 rules:
-Dont go generic
-you get what you pay for
-if you drop it a lot ur alignment may need to be adjusted
