I have a question about the pre-load. Decrease pre-load = softer ride = more bouncy ride? and Increase pre-load = firmer ride = less bouncy?

I started to mess around and forgot how much pre-load I set =(

My ride is sorta bouncy and rough(when hit big bump). Wonder I should increase/decrease pre-load? Please help thank you!

I know it sucks having your car sit high in the rear for a couple months but is it really that big of a deal?
When you're used to riding that low, and you realize how nice the car looks... then you have to go back looking at how high it is and how worse it looks in comparison - hell yeah it's a big deal. A lot of people will throw on a body kit, big rims, altezzas, coilovers, neons, spoilers, wings, low-profile tires, racing seats, colored tint, windshield banners, mufflers, shiny windshield wipers, body graphics, stickers, projectors, painted brake calipers and a neon paint job at once all just to look better.

I just want my car slammed. I don't care about anything else. This is all I want.

yeah i've pretty much lost my excitement of recieving these hayames. They will ship sometime this year hopefully, till than all we can do is wait. I just photoshoped my car so that way i could see it that way lowered, it's helped a bit! hehe, just dont look at the wheelgap when you go to get in your car.

I ordered mine back in february from urbin import and still dont have them, so that is how long it's been for me, coming on 3 months now just about. Anyone else been waiting longer than february? I'm supposedly at the top of his queue for recieving mine on next shipment. We'll see

1. The ride quality sucked and after my accident, the shocks blew.
2. I sold them.

That's a long time. I guess it didn't help when I addressed my issue. I can't remember if Urban stopped receiving them due to the issue that was brought up. It would make sense so that no people could be at risk of having similar issues as me and a few others.

Doesn't look like I'll have my springs this week. I'm about ready to get something else for my car.

what i want i really want is a response ferom urbanimport. it seems to me he doesnt post information untill some requests him. so where are u urbanimport. i ordered mine in feb too and sice then its been nothin but promises that they were coming, but then in the end they dont come. i think its total bullsh*t and im f*ckin pissed. is a shipment coming or what. I know when i order or send stuff i know when it will arive and i can keep track of it. If hayame really did ship them they would know not like they ship stuff and then dont care if they get there.

im frustrated. i thought my car would be slammed a month ago. i have springs but its not low enough. man its hard to know what to do. urbanimport any info would be cool, hell true honda i didnt order from u but if u got info and can give me a set date and when i can have them ill buy from u. hell anyone who can give me, or give us all some straight up information would be great. and dont come on and tel me if i dont like the service im getting that i should cancel my oder and go else where. cause if i knew what else i wanted to buy and it was afforable i would have all ready done that by now.

I just think its time for some one to give us all some info, not well they should be here by so so. i want fact. is that to much to ask. we as customers deserve this. but hey thats my personal opinion.

zDs03Civic, the people who have been complaining probably got the wrong rear parts. And thats the people who i was refering to. Its not that it settles, but the time frame the replacements were coming.

dacivic, yeah try putting more preload on the rear to reducing the bouncing.

for everyone expecting hayames: eh its not just urbanimport who's waiting for them. ALL companies are waiting for them. The last i heard they were coming in in the mid of this month. Urban import was going to call hayame today and check the status on them(he posted this on the gb thread i think).

nindoo, install for tein ss is a lot different. if you dont have an 01, you need to buy 01 upper mounts which come up to around $40. the tein ss install is pretty much the same as spring install since you need to take apart the strut.

I talked to our rep yesterday. No further information available at this time. Don't you think if I had an update I would post it like I usually do? I gurantee nobody has this coilover system in stock and ordering from me is the quickest way, as soon as the coilovers get into Hayame they will ship out to our customers directly.

You could've called you know. Mike is a good vendor. He delivers his info when he has it. If a good vendor doesn't get theirs, then the only person to blame is his/her supplier.
