you'll definitely be able to tuck with 215-45-17s.. right now in the rear i have no gap but i can still go 1.5-2" lower
the front i'm not sure but i know i can atleast go another 1"... well only if i didnt rub that is

alpinecivic02 has pictures of them in his members ride

ImPulse · 01-19-2004

so... How are they?

VNlilMAN · 01-19-2004

I think I said it in my first post... best bang for buck...

joedc5 · 01-19-2004

This system handles like a 1500 one. They are just awsome

dragoon · 01-19-2004

i have pics of them in my gallery too. i'm at about a finger and a half, but keep in mind i have 15" wheels and could easily go much lower.

alpinecivic02 · 01-20-2004

i luv them...check my pics........plus install only took 3 and half hours and this was the first time me and my friend did a full coilover install.....just hoping it lasts....

SQCivic · 01-20-2004

PM'd you VNlilMAN....holler back.

BiGDoG · 01-20-2004

So where can i buy these at a low price? I was reading on the GB but it cancelled fro some reason. Also why did hayame stop making these?

VNlilMAN · 01-20-2004

Its on my first post.. you can get them from www.urbanimport.com for $650 shipped with the coupon code 'hayamegb'

I just put my stock wheels back on because my dad needs to drive my car on n off for the next two week and I have to say the ride is very close to stock even at a 2.25/2.5" drop

chocobo15_2000 · 01-20-2004

vnlilman, how was the install? you DIY? or took to shop? if its just direct bolt-on and its decently easy, i'd do it myself, so let me know how it went for you.

VNlilMAN · 01-20-2004

Ya i did it by myself with the stock jack(i know not smart but hey it worked)
Install was pretty easy. Would have been easier if i had help but i couldnt wait to get them on my car

... if your installing them and run into some trouble i'll give you my number and you can call.

SQCivic · 01-20-2004

I'm probably going to take you up on that when they get here!

DareDebil911 · 01-20-2004

If I have never worked on suspension components before, but am fairly knowledgeable on how its works with install and everything, do you think I will be able to install them myself?

RobearRacing · 01-20-2004

Just a headsup, we are throwing a GB

VNlilMAN · 01-20-2004

SQCivic · 01-20-2004

tripledoublegs · 01-20-2004

They would have shipped Friday if you ordered them late Thursday night. 2 business days ago. Please PM me your name so I can track your order.

tripledoublegs · 01-20-2004

VNlilMAN · 01-21-2004

The ones pictures above are to'ser(something like that) and are sold in singapore. The guy went there and bought some and brought it back over.

joedc5 · 01-21-2004

Yeah I can help too feel free to call me.DareDebil911, do you feel confident? know how to use air tools? Have a lift? I did mine on lift with airtools and it took me less than 1 1/2 hours. If you feel you might be puzzled have them professionally installed.

VNlilMAN · 01-21-2004

blah i didnt have air tools or a lift so it took me about 3-4 hours. Blah the stripped bolt I had from the last install didnt help either...

tripledoublegs · 01-21-2004

I think I'm installing mine today.
Hopefully I don't f**k up

AJCivic · 01-21-2004

I need help. I put the hayame coilovers on yesterday and then today when i drive i here a clanking or creking noise coming from the right rear. And it is bad when i hit little bumps in the road. Does anyone know what the problem is. I checked and everything seams tight enough. I was thinking not enough preload, but not sure any help would be nice.

VNlilMAN · 01-21-2004

Ya check everything including the 3 nuts in the trunk,
the bottom mount
the 3 locknut.
and ya make sure theres a preload so that when you jack the car up, its kinda hard to spin the spring
