There you go!!!

But DAI seems to only carry KYB GR2 that are OEM shocks.... I didn't see any AGX...

BTW, I found this little quote for you... you may adjust your oversteer/understeer ratio with the adjustment on the shocks...

In general, Civics come from the factory tuned for understeer (front wheels slide first). A car that understeers is generally safer than one that oversteers (harder to spin). However, for better performance oriented vehicle dynamics, you want to reduce understeer and promote oversteer (not too much...). This will give you a car that is more willing to turn.

For understeer:
stiffen front dampers/soften rear dampers
or
stiffen front bar/soften rear bar

For oversteer:
soften front dampers/stiffen rear dampers
or
soften front bar/stiffen rear bar

Think of this in terms of lateral load transfer between tires as the car tries to roll. Stiffer bars or dampers will raise the roll moment at that end of the car (making it harder to roll). More load will be transfered to the outside tire (while less load goes to the inside). Eventually, the outside tire will become overloaded and reach its limits of adheasion, and then it slides.
The question is, wich end slides first?
The answer is, wichever end is relatively stiffer.

Hi Costas, welcome to a small discussion group

Though if you need any info or anything, don't be afraid to ask.

Though I think we may have already met Friend of Alex (and Kamal) ?

Hey a CCQ guy! Welcome aboard!

What do you have on your Reverb? any mods?

Welcome "home" 7th gen brother

 
Rep Power: 294

No .. That is.. **** I'm too drunk to remember his name. But I know the car you are talking about. He lives around us as well. Nicely done car - didn't exactly love his advertising, but of course it works for the business. Kamal used to drive a black EL, but alas no more.

In any event, don't believe it is the same Costas so no matter.

BTW Karizzle, your lights are too blue - though at least it helps distinguish your car

 
Rep Power: 258

lol, blue for the win but yeah the guy with the white EL his name is Kamal aswell, and i remember there was beefin(not literally but it was funny) cuz one kamal drives a 2001 black el slammed on chromies, the other kamal drives a white 2001 el slammed on chromies

I need advise on shipping from US to Canada... I want an item on ebay and the guy offered me 3 choices, but I hesitate on 2, which one is better :

US Postal Service: Global Express Mail (3-5 days)
or Airmail Parcel Post (4-10 days) (cheapest, but any hidden fee? custom, etc...))

 
Rep Power: 0

It depends.... it would have to be marked used part ou for a gift if you don't whant to pay custom...

What are you getting? May be we could do a little group buy and save on shipping cost...

 
Rep Power: 294

Cannot say I know of that beefin that was going on Karizzle.. not even sure I know of both of those Kamal's you refer to. I believed the white EL was greater than an 03 - as his tail-lights are newer model.. or maybe he switched them In any event, the Kamal I know definitely was not dropped. On chromies, yes - but 4x4ing it on them.

USPS - regardless of ground express or airmail parcel will be the safest bet for reduced brokerage expenses. Duties will happen, especially if the item is greater than 50$, irregardless of the shipping method. Much like you going to the States and buying something. If you return you often have to pay duties - unless you lie and try smuggling it back But brokerage fees are what you want to cut down on. UPS has the worst, then FedEX, and lastly USPS. If you seriously didn't want to pay any sort of brokerage fees, you could always ship it somewhere/to someone in the States and pick it up yourself.

Karim, how much dit it cost you for you suspension?

 
Rep Power: 294

Full coilovers + camber (f & b) + installation + fender rolled + alignment = bit over 1.5k

I am looking for a civic 2004 passenger headlight for my blackout project ... If you want to do a group buy on it, I don't mind!!!!

Local scrapyard are asking for more than 100$, so I am looking on e-bay to see if I can get one cheaper. Look like it will be about the same price at the end... I might go local then.

BTW, if you can ask your "contact-in-law" at Longueuil Honda, how he's asking for one for fun... we never know!

 
Rep Power: 294

Tried posting in the "Wanted" forum section on this board? You never know who's been in an accident and has parts laying about

That or perhaps asking us if we searched for parts from the scrapper and maybe then reducing the overall pricing

 
Rep Power: 0

Done! Here, on MTlracing and on CCQ!

Keep me inform if you find one!

I was **** Monday, I bid on a pair of headlight for about 80$ all included (they were in Canada!). The bid ended at 1h49 am. I was the highest bidder until 1h47am!!! I stayed up all night to win it, and a guy **** it all 2 minutes before the end!!! I did not have time to bid again!

Well... **** happens

 
Rep Power: 294

I'm laughing too much as I've both been that bidder and been beaten out by that bidder


I need some items .. though not completely, but at the same time, yes .. Confusing right? Well I know I want a 03-05 cluster and a new front dash, and possibly both rear door handles of a EBP sedan..
Though doubtful to get the dash off a scrapper as I would doubt it'd remain in prestine condition like I kinda want..
And then other small items like a switch insert clip, piece by/for the 9v outlet (though if I buy this, won't need first), a driver headlight - but don't exactly need as it would only be to possibly resell and/or do a black-out for a friend (who hasn't confirmed he wants it done)..

Reg: $257.80+tx
Friend only: $200.00+tx

So the scrapyard is still cheaper...

Got contact for direct auto import. Their doing a mini show in RDP for Dealers.... i might try to go, thanks father in law!!! I might be able to get the KYB AGX for a good price afterall

 
Rep Power: 0

hummm how much just for the full coilover... ? Plus you've dropped how many inch?
camber: Got it
install & alignment: What ever i do, i know ill need it
fender roll: for a little drop (1.4inch), i should not need this right?

So what do you think if i try these Cannuk coil + KYB AGX... ill be the only one in the world whith this setup
Canuck coil: $125.00
KYB AGX: Dont know, but a trac, they were 759 in special....
Rear camber kit: $110.00
Progress Rear Sway/Tie bar: $110.00 (may be i could exchage them for regular rsx bar + no name tie bar...an get some $$ back)
Ractive Front strut bar: $40.00
Rear strut bar: May be $40.00 too
----------------------------------------------------------
Total: $1184.00 if i can get the AGX for 759...

May be i could try to do the cheapest suspension upgrade with weird brand...

 
Rep Power: 0

Don't get a Ractive front strut bar... it's + it don't clear an aftermarket intake. Go with Neuspeed bar, nothing less. So add 100$ more!!! Look for a used one maybe.

Rear strut bar... useless! I have one... to attach my subwoofer!!! ... but suspension-wise it is useless. The way the suspension is designed in the back you don't really need one, there is no flexion there.

Keep the progress bar... you have the show and the go with it!

What about a front lower brace?

I should have both the one you've found last time for $75


An a front sway bar progress of 25mm... at the same time

You should have ... try to reach the guy... maybe he still have it?

Keep your OEM front sway, you will be happy with it! But a front brace is a good future investment with our terrible roads!

My coilovers were around 940$ US shipped.. add in another 80$ CAD I believe for the duties+ .. I don't know my specific drop amount - I am adjustable remember I believe I'm down near 2" though (in summer mode)

Depends moreso on the tires you'll be running for the rolling. 215/45/17 tend to rub - especially when you drop lower. Ask Vis as well I went safe and did it anyways as the rear fenders don't even serve that great of a purpose anyways..

I still say keep the well-known brand names that will probably improve the ride. Meaning Neuspeed > Ractive, and Neuspeed Sport (Sedan) > Canuck -- unless you decide to go full coilovers of course Though keep in mind you might want to upgrade your rear endlinks - the big/stiff Progress bar has been known to break a few.
