I received my set yesterday and did not have any paperwork in the box as far as instructions, etc. just the coilovers & a bag with two adjustment wrenches and around 10 nuts. Is that right?

Our UPS pickup finally starting again, your coilovers were picked up yesterday and they were delayed ONCE AGAIN due to the weather while in transit but it looks like you will finally be getting them today (Friday).

My Hayame's are great i have them on my 03 and the ride is awsome but i have one question, I just put them on about a week ago and it is cold and snowy here and in the morning when i first drive the car and turn out of the parking space there is some sqweeking and popping sounds from the front for the first about 30 feet and then it doesn't do it anymore and want to know is this normal since its cold and new suspension or is there a problem.

sorry, can't answer you question. but i have questions for you about the install. on the 03, did you need to create bigger bolt holes? or do any kind of slight modifying to make it fit?

i had to make the holes bigger in the front. just take a 16mm drill bit and drill slowly and it will make the hole a perfect fit with no play in the hole with the bolt.

you shouldn't have to do it to a 2001 because half way through the production year of 2003 honda changed companys of who made the front suspension it is still the same design of all 7th gen's but the holes and bolts are just bigger now in the front. You should be alright but if not just drill them.

Can someone please post pics up of these on their car? I have mine on order from a friend that owns a shop. But he has to wait until SPW gets more in stock (thanks to Mike @ Urban buying the last sets)

Should be another 3 weeks or so until I get them, but I'm ancy to see some pics of installs or the cars they're squatting in. Thanks!

The popping might be caused by the 3rd locknut being tight enough. I had the same sounds, tightened it and now its gone...

i have a feeling that with supply decreasing and demand increasing they might wanna raise the prices on these.... so i would suggest everyone buy asap. 650 is a damn good price and they sound really nice w/ their 3 locknut design unlike the B&G i have w/ 2 locknuts

Hayame already raised the prices on the RSX and 01+ Civic in their last shipment. We will keep our price as long as possible.

The Hayame's are nice and I like the 3 perch design but one thing scares me. On the B&G's the part that connects to the steering arms is very thick and has vertical support, ie a triangular shape like a beam. With these, I see that they used a flat arm that looks durable, but under certain conditions may break. I mean, If you ever hit something or hit a large bump, it seems that those arms would start to bend. I may be wrong with the entire thing but that is just my eye assumption. I ofcourse will have to see for myself.

eh its actually not as weak as it seems in the pictures. there are other things that would break before that. And ya it wouldnt break, just bend if it does. The straight design actually helps with bumpsteer. On my stock struts with neuspeed race, my tie rods were pretty high and gave it a V shape but the straight design brings it back to the position it was at when it was stock.
