my cb7 suspension.....

[PR CB7]

OP dont worry about your suspension, that boot has a built in washer so thecnically you just put 2 washers were the stopper for the top hat goes

nothing to trip balls about, i respect the fact that you're a female that has love for these car, and more respect if you did this yourself, since most dumbasses here make a 3 page post asking questions on how to do this, you acutally did it

even thought the way you did it is wrong, again it wont cause mitt romney to win the elections so, you're good

I'm just going to say my part then be done with this thread. If you want help assembling it correctly then send me a PM.

My points to the OP:
*Your struts are not installed correctly and will now be prone to premature failure.
*Because you did not have the struts installed professionally Tokico will not warranty them when, not if, they fail prematurely.
*I'm not treating you any different than I would treat any male forum member. I will not sugar coat things for anyone, I apologize if you are offended by my blunt responses.
*It's not hard to redo the labor and save yourself $$ and heartache in the long run.
*If you love your car do it correctly.
*You spent good money on the parts, install them correctly to get the best performance and the longest life out of them.
*If you live where they salt/sand the roads, expect them to start to fail before spring.

My points to the rest posting in here:
*Sugar coating things and saying it's wrong but fine because you are a girl is wrong.
*I wouldn't want to drive around knowing my suspension is compromised and subject to failure, I doubt many other forum members would either.
*You guys should be encouraging her to do the safe/right thing to save time, money, and possibly injury when you see something wrong, just as you would with any other member. You're not doing her any favors by encouraging incorrect assembly.

Bottom line, these are nice parts. There is nothing worse than installing high quality items poorly. Do it right or do it twice.

please explain how the fuck this will cause it to fail prematurely
if you can see the picture, with the shock decompressed the boot still covers the compression rod on the front, and in the rear, the car will never see that height while driving, that boot will still do its job to protect the coating of the compression rod

the only thing that will be affected will be the tophat bushings, those will be the ones that will wear, and since im pretty sure she used the original tophats, these will eventually need to be changed, by then she can fix this bullshit issue

the only way a strut will fail is debris or mark on the rod that will bust the seal or bottoming out

im not sugar coating anything, but if you have been on a forum for long, you can actually figure out the way someone wants his message to be read
im pretty sure everyone got your the message you were trying to imply

i can tell you its not a big deal, yet you are making it sound like it is...

[Hostile]

Nice set up. I really want this exact same set up but i might cheap out and get the f&f's again.

[Granite CB7]

Why doesn't your knuckle have bolt holes for the ball joint nut cover?

Could also be a 94-97 or a CL knuckle too I suppose.

Here we go again...always have That^Guy trying to throw gas on the fire. How about you just ignore that minor detail, and press on...look at the thread for what it is intended for.

We can only hope that people will stop. However, some of the foreign members still get flamed because their English isn't the best.

I'm actually glad this thread has been bumped. I've been wanting to see coilover sleeves on tokico illuminas because I was thinking about it today. I just haven't bothered to search for it yet.

OP. Great job on the install and I'm glad it has held up for you.

That's not correct. Most of the foreign members on this site have better grammar and spelling than most of the people from here. And what's worse is that if you correct them they recognize the favor and thank you because they have a desire to learn and expand.

When people who are from here get corrected you have so deeply offended them and they make it very clear to you that the purpose of this forum is not to serve as a grammar-correcting body but to give them the answers they seek and compliment their dope rides when they post pictures correctly after 4 tries. Such people should feel ashamed of themselves. It's pathetic.

I don't know. I see it happening quite often. Not serious flaming, but definitely comments about it. So, it is kind of correct. I'm only stating this because of the things I've seen. Evidence.

This is correct. I learned what little I have for english grammar in a spanish private school in Puerto Rico, and to this day I still try to find ways to improve it in order not to look like an idiot. Yet, although I might point someone out for their grammar mistakes on this forum, I wont let it ruin a thread like others do.

And you have been part of the community how long? Oh thats right...

[gloryaccordy]
