Neuspeed sp3 struts gone

[Ghetto_CB7]

Hello all,

I just talked to a rep from Neuspeed and it sounds as though the sp3 for our car is gone. This means the the popular super cup kit for our accords now comes with the koni yellow sport instead of the sp3

this strut has only 3 perches for +-15mm and 0.
Where as the sp3 had 5 perches for height and a 20 mm shorter drop length.

Now my question to you is do you still think the super cup kit is the best option for street driven sometimes tracked / aggressively driven accord.

if not what other options do you see as comparable.

My other thought on this setup is that if at some time I found someone selling a set of the sp3's I could buy them and swap out the sports. Since the koni have lifetime warantee I don't think there would be a problem with this.

I think that full coil over is a little stiffer than I want to go on a daily street driven vehicle, but I think I could take the 485F, 300R on the neuspeed race springs, and if I really wanted to I could get the sport springs, and then just spend the hour it takes to put the race springs on for track time.

Anyway, thoughts from people with better suspension knowledge than me is appreciated.

Regards

It is still an excellent setup, though the shortened SP3 shocks is more ideal. The valving is the same whether the shock is SP3 or not though. Also, you can always have your yellows shortened, or additional snap ring grooves cut into them...but you have to pay for it.

SP3 or not, Koni is still the best off the shelf shock you can buy for the CB7.

Ok

Good to know, who would I contact about shortening the koni?

Anyway I think I might order them today, I am rally bummed that I couldn't get the sp3, but I guess thats what I get for waiting.

Anyway, the only other option I was thinking of was saving up for the F@F type 2, but I don't know if I would gain much performance, and would loose some of the daily drivability with them.

You would just call the Koni service center. The phone number is on their site. Pricing for shortening Koni's winds up being more than buying the shocks new though....so buy Koni's, send them off to be shortened and rebuilt, you're looking at over 1k easy. It really isn't necessary unless you're really into it.

i probably need to get my sp3's rebuilt myself but i need something to ride on while they are sent away. might buy another super cup kit instead but this time actually run a bump stop lol

well when i got my konis....2 weeks ago... they said they no longer offer the extra groovs for lowering...and there new model yellows have welded bump stops on the shafts and come with clip pastic washers to adjust the stop of the bump...

koni

Did you order from mono or did you get a full setup from neuspeed with the springs, if they come with built in bump stops now I can justify it costing the same I guess.

no i orderd online then called them and talked to some girl...thats what she said about the added perches...but after i recived my shocks i called again and they said that those are the new 2011 models.and come with the brake line mounts welded to the strut instead of haveing to buy the slide on ones..and there a different color yellow like a golden yellow...the 2010 and unders were brillant yellow like the race springs...

Spring.

Hello people,

I called to order from neuspeed today, and was informed that they do not have the race springs available for the 90-93 accord any more.

I inquired about having them for the 94-97 and they say they have them but he thinks that either the length is different, or the top hat is different.

Can anyone please confirm, or preferably deny this to be true, if I can only get sport springs, I may go another rout.

Help would be appreciated ASAP.

Regards,
