19dabeast85 : 1993 Accord 10th Anniversary

[19dabeast85]

Got some parts on order to begin my suspension build:

Energy Suspension front control arm & strut rod bushings.
Prothane rear control arm bushings.
Moog rear shock bushings.
Ingalls rear (washer & longer bolt) camber kit just for simplicity.
Eibach front upper adjustable ball joints.

I plan to reuse my front upper CA's, and buy some new, complete rear upper's.

I have been planning to go with the Neuspeed SuperCup kit, but may go with the Function & Form Autolife Type II coilovers if I can afford the extra $250. I'm going to try to have all the components together to do a spring-break suspension project.

Stay tuned for pics and updates

I have most of my suspension bushings in now:

Eibach/SPC 0.00 to +1.50 front upper ball joints
Moog rear lower shock mount
80a Urethane for the rear trailing arms
Front upper & lower control arm bushings
Ball joint & tie-rod boots that I've had for a long time
Strut rod bushings

I didn't realize that the front shock mount bushings didn't come with the control arm set, so those are on order. The Prothane rear bushings and rear camber kit are on backorder and should be in the first of February.

Still have to purchase the rear upper control arms and 3 rattle cans of VHT suspension&chassis paint till I'm ready for this project!

Thanks, my theory is to do it right the first time or don't do it at all!

I've got pretty much all of my suspension bushings/ball joints in and planning on doing that along with painting the exhaust for rust purposes, and putting 1/4" sound insulation between the exhaust shield and car floor all during spring break. I really wanted to do spring/struts at this time too, but just can't afford it. At least this way I get to see exactly what ONLY poly bushings does for the feel of the car.

Well the auto will not be much longer, I've found a 1993 LX 5spd with 114,000 on it for a good price. Plan on swapping the fresher engine and converting it to my a6 cam & H23 IM setup along with the 5spd tranny first of summer!

Thanks man, I can't wait to get back to work on my car when school gets out!

Nice paint

Appreciate the complement! Garage kept and 60-year-old lady driven for over half its life!

Here's a peek at my progress over break at nights after work!

1. COMPLETE poly suspension overhaul (incl 80a urethane rear trailing arm)
2. Sanded/primed/painted custom exhaust system!!
3. Full alignment (unfortunately I didn't think to ask for the printout though)

On to some pics:

Bare exhaust system

3 coats of VHT white header primer

3 coats of VHT gray header paint

Finished product!!

To comment on the VHT paint.....it's the best rattle-can paint i've ever used, sprays on really well and smooth and covers very well. I'd recommend their products to anyone!

Got some new pics of my Neuspeed bar and the painted exhaust under the car!!!
