Something about the Type2 was CB7 specific.

[i-07]

i have the type 1's on my car i don't want to go lower than i am

yeah not too sure bout the type 2's look in that thread i posted

[Luis]

cd5 type ones go pretty low.. i was slammed before and they still had room to go lower.. and for 520 bucks for type ones brand new is not bad at all.. you just cant beat that price

And i agree with deev, i thought about getting type 2's because you can adjust the dampening and the height as opposed to the type ones which you can only adjust the height

I ended up getting the type ones because i daily the cb.. no point in getting something that isnt gonna be used for what they were built, which in my opinion were made for weekend track

type ones give you a nice ride and plenty of height adjust-ability but i still wish i would have bought type twos. Only because i wanted a stiffer ride

well I have been doing some research and I have come across this device called a spring compressor, my uncle said thats how they lowered their cars way back then, its like 50 bucks, I may use they temporarily until i scrape up the cash again, btw loup, DAMN YOUR RIMS ARE SEXY

[i-07]

[deevergote]

Most 'oldschool' methods are EXTREMELY unsafe.

Update about the Tein Basics mentioned earlier in the thread. I was in the process of purchasing a set, but almost every distributor that I contacted was out of them. So, to no avail I decided to go with F&F Types Ones.

I'll do a full review about a month after installation or so. If they are not up to my comfort standards, I'll sell them, pick up some SS's, and continue saving from there for my AMRs (please keep the wasting money comments away). I rather look at it as my personal R&D.

10+ lol my friend had them and it looked like he was on hydraulics with the blown shocks going over bumps....

Personally I love my Function & Forms. I think you can still get them for 550 shipped from weaksauce just ask for a Honda-tech discount.

JESUS, god damn, well i got the okay, I dont wanna go cheap... I got laughed at the meet today for having my car so high :/ my car isnt ugly, is it? Can you also post a link to the coilovers, i dont know witch one is right...

I like a car at stock height. I respect someone that takes the time to do things right, and laugh at the ricers that have to do it ASAP, as cheap as possible. Especially with suspension. Cheap suspensions are dangerous, and anyone who would rather look "good" (I think slammed cars on blown shocks look idiotic) than be safe is an absolute moron.

very true man that why when i had the money i got the good stuff lol but i still need new rear lca's asap and a rear strut bar and new rear sway bar.

but yeah just get the fnf's man you would not regret them

[mtnbikaah]

I've always rocked stock height. Both of my accords have been stock height. Hell my wagon even has OEM shocks and springs.

I'd like to lower it but the cash just isn't there. I'd rather get a set of Koni yellows on OEM Honda springs than half-ass it with cheap parts.

And as Deevergote has said, do NOT cheap out on suspension parts - your life (and whoever rides in your car and whoever drives around you) depends on it.

true, so true, i wont go cheap, I just need to sell my damn fish tanks >

[Straight Success]

Describe peoples idea of cheap?

I took the economical route with F&F Type I IMHO, only for the bigger goal that's ahead. By the way, you can lower your car by an inch if you desire with the F&F Type I. I figure my car will look and handle good with about a ~1.5"-1.75" drop in the front, and a ~1.25"-1.5" drop in the rear (especially with the '04 Acura TL OEM boys). I'll post pictures.
