2001 -up civic/2002 RSX shortened struts - Page 4

Well finally at last the pictures will be up.

I made some new mods to allow the strut to drop the car 1 inch using the factory spring, or the car can be lowered even more depending on which lower spring is used.

I also moved the steering arm down to improve on steering response after the car has been lowered. Change made because of r&d work on prototype car.

And yes the strut can also be supplied with the adjusting nut built on them to raise and lower the car to your desired height.

I see most of you have lowering springs already so may if your looking to go a little lower and don't really need the adjustabiltiy than the new non-adjustable struts may do the job you looking for.

The valving is also up-graded along with new improved oil.

This strut should solve most of everyones problems with poor ride quality and strut failure, because of shortened body
shortened piston design.

Could someone with knowledge of posting pictures on the site email. so the pictures of the struts can be viewed

Thanks, Tom

How many people are interested please let me know, so I can work out the production schedules.

Bec-Tec Guy,

Have you tested these with any lowering springs? I have neuspeed race springs and I would actually like to lower the back end more but raise the front a little. Please tell me if these struts have been tested with my springs.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

strutwizard · 05-24-2002

The prototype car used Bec-Tech modified factory springs, so to answer your question will lowering springs work, Yes because I built them mainly to be used with lowering springs because I know most people don't like to use the stock springs because they are to soft.

Lowering spring and strut provide a much needed improvement over other set ups

The question I have for you, how is the ride quality with the neuspeed springs on the stock length struts.

thanks, Tom

Ride quality sux with my current setup. The stock setup obviously cant handle my Neuspeed springs. Id like to keep my springs and replace the stock hardware but I need to lower the back end about 1.5 inches. If I cant get the back to come down Im gonna have to buy GC coils. I would get the Koni Yellows but they're gonna raise my car rather than lower it.

2 issues:

:: Reduce bumpiness
:: Lower rear ride height

What type of warranty come with this setup? I'm in Florida so it's not like I can drive up and return them if I have a problem. Let me know.

Thanks

Jeff

So waitaminute. . . there's a member who has these? Who?

Decamo · 05-24-2002

Can someone post a pic of the stock struts? I'd like to see what the differences are.

TOOLOWCIVIC · 05-24-2002

Can whoever the member in here who has the setup pls tell me how the ride quality is.

Sweet! I hope these are good!

So the damping can't be adjusted?
So they are like a H&R cup kit right?

HCCriminal · 05-25-2002

i'm very interested with these struts, but i have never heard of this company before..
i don't know about the reliability on these struts ..
so what can you offer us .. ?

Correct on this version the damping is not adjustable, but the body and piston have been shortened and the ride height is adjustable.

I don't see that in the H&R cup kit.

First the strut will work with the springs you have and also lower the rear like you would like.

Warranty is for material and workmanship for 5 years or 60,000 miles which ever comes first.
