Hmmm lets see.. Well, your all from around Detroit so I'm sure you know about the mile roads so thats where I will start. Going north they go all the way up to 33 Mile Road I belive. I live just off of 26 mile so I'm north of Detroit. Umm.. I94 would be a close road that you know about too. about 6 miles west of I94. I'm at North Avenue and 26 Mile to be percice. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

still no clue where your at.. lol


Platnum - i just installed my generic rear upper strut bar.. and it was a BITCH! the fitment on the connecter pieces were horrible so i had to take my dremel and make the holes for the bolts bigger.. but once i got that done, it was a snap. its so much stiffer now, its great.. i love it. now i just gotta somehow do the lower tie bar. yay!

For the lower bar...Do we need to support anything or take anything off other than the two bolts that this unit is attaching too??? I assume puttin the rear of the car on jack stands is imperative...but I just don't want the rear end fallin apart when I loosen these two bolts.

I'm tryin to get rid of those coilovers...but no one will take em...u guys know anyone that might want em...I'm thinking 100 bux is fair...

From what I hear, when you take the two bolts out it is biaaatch to re-align the holes again.

Why you getting rid of them for?

 
Rep Power: 0

I'm not so sure if its a good idea...I don't wanna put them on..and then have the struts blow...and have to deal with blown struts...I guess i could just put them on and only drop about an inch or so...but wouldnt they still maybe blow the struts...

Plus if I only plan on droppin that low...wouldn't it ride a little rougher than say some springs that drop 1.3 inches...???

 
Rep Power: 340

so what should I do?...will these blow my struts if I only drop it and 1" or 1.5" inches...That's all I really planned on anyways...I'm not knowledgeable on suspension really at all...so if u guys know anything...tell me...

 
Rep Power: 0

I am probably going with the Eibach Prokit..Maybe you should do the same. Cause if you are only dropping a short distance your car would handle better with springs....in my opinion.

 
Rep Power: 340

im goin all out with full coilover suspension. Hondawerx is giving me a deal on the teins for 1050+shipping.

 
Rep Power: 0

A deal you say????
That's about 600 more than I would like to spend...and then some...

any of you guys know how to get an estimate on shipping to vancouver...???

 
Rep Power: 340

teins are full coilovers.. new struts/adjustable springs. they go for like 1100~1200 at other places.

for estimates on shipping, i think on fedex's website, theres this thing on there where you plug in the dimensions and weight and where its going to be shipped to. or you could goto the post office, take the package and ask how much shipping will be to vancouver

 
Rep Power: 304

Hey xHoteKx, How do thoes teins work up front?? do you have to cut the stock strut like for koni's?

~nick~

 
Rep Power: 340

no, its a whole replacement. teins are the adjustable springs and new adjustable struts. so you just take out your struts you have now, and put the teins in. i really dont know the whole installation process, but thats wat i know so far

 
Rep Power: 0

1000 bux for that u say...???...kinda expensive...but would be alot better doin both at the same time...but is it really neccessary to go that far with it?

 
Rep Power: 340

well if you think about it, its about the same price..

take for example:
Ground Control coilovers: 300~350 bucks
Koni Yellows: 550 bucks
Camber kit: 138bucks.

and then include shipping..

but then with teins, you can adjust the stiffeness of the struts.. 16 different settings. 16! so i just say spend the extra 200~300bucks and go all out. and from wat i hear, they ride like a dream. the drop is anywhere from .5~3.0"

ok...on to another thing tho...

rear strut bar...where in the ... did u fasten that thing on...I see the struts coming up from the floor...I assume thats a mounting point...but I wonder if i have the wrong bar...does your rear upper bar only have only mounting point on each side...???...or where is the 2nd bolt...???

 
Rep Power: 0

Should mount just like the front Gordo. Sounds liek you got the wrong bar.

 
Rep Power: 0

I'm blind...unless u crawl into the trunk or reach around you wouldn't have the slighest idea a 2nd bolt exist back in the corner...so all I have to do now is hook that up...and do the rear tie...

I'll try and take some pics of the trunk install later...
