yea that's right lilman.. but id on't have any info on them ie spring rates or anything.. but that's the 3 locknuts you're talking about right? The bottom locknut is the one that actually changes the length of the strut...

Dainfamous, well if your comparing the tein basics vs hayame i would get hayames. its $250 cheaper AND you have a lot more features. Tein basics have the same spring rate as the hayames but they dont have the top mount, 3rd lucknut nor the adjustable camber.
VtecIvIc, use the coupon "hayamegb"
xmeeksx, manufacture says so. I doubt they would lie about something that important.
DogstyleEX, ya thats the same thing i'm talking about.
Alright I just got done installing the fronts. I drove around the block and it rides really nice but dont want to give a review yet. I want to drive around with it more. and i'll definitely know how it rides when i goto work tomorrow. I know the road really well and should be able to get a good comparison as to how well it rides. The roads are really badd and bumpy so it'll definitely put the hayames to the test.
ive been reading alot about these and so far they seem like a good deal. Personally im not involved in auto-x, and right now i'm riding on neuspeed sports, with stock struts. I want something that is adjustable, allows me to have improved conering, and also wont rust out on me in the winter. Has it been confirmed what material they are made of?

ive been riding around in my car for a couple of days....really i cant tell that much of a difference and have already gotten used to the stiffer ride.....none of my friends have complained at all riding with me, but instead say it rides very nice for the drop i have right now....
Sorry not sure what material they're made of. I live in sunny cali so no problems with salt here.
I heard hayame regulates the price on them and $650 is the cheapest they can sell it. There's always shipping added to the price but www.urbanimport.com offers free shipping to give them to you at the cheapest price possible.
Well depends on what causes the THUD. If the thud is from the bottom of the car hitting the speed bump, NO this will not fix it. BUT if the thud is from the struts itself bottoming out, than YES. The problem with ground controls is they are really² soft. Also when you slam them 3" on stock shocks, as i said your basically compressing the shocks 3". Say you normally have 4" of shock travel stock. If you drop it 3" your reducing that travel down to 1". 1" is not that much especially with something as soft as ground controls. What happens when you hit a dip and need more than 1", you bottom out and hear that loud THUD.
Now with hayames, since your adjusting the shock length your not compressing the shock 3" just shortening it 3". This way you still keep full stroke and have that 4" of shock travel(not an exact figure) rather than the 1" with ground controls. Thus there is no bottoming out.
great, these coilovers seems to be hott! I think I will get on that GB from Dezod, hopefully he will prolong it for 1-2 months so I can get the money ready . I'll probably only drop 1-1.5" so I wont scrape that much, just enough to close the wheel gap =). Once again, nice review vnlilman!
I just ordered mine from Mike at Urban (hayame) and I had them overnighted and will get them tommorow. The question I have is what do these springs come factory set at? I want to do the the one finger gap. Also does Hayame have anymarks or ways to measure the approximate ride before installin the struts. I would like to adjust them evenly before installing them in my car. Unfortunatly I had to order the lower control arms and steering knukels because my struts have been blown out for 1 year now so in result I completly screwed up the ball joints and made the lower control arm holes bigger :-( .
So this cost me Hayame $740 shipped over night plus $586 for Honda Genuine parts. How can I get an alignment?? I do have an Eibach camber kit can I still use it?? Any answers to any of these question is greatly appriciated. I am real anxious to finally have a car handle the way it should after driving like crap for a year! I have the neuspeed strut tower bar and the DCsports lower rear tie bar.
