This setup is the best you can get so far. Until the JIC FLT-A2 comes out, there is nothing you can compare it to. If you are comparing it to the B&Gs, you might as well compare it to the Tein SS, H&Rs, and any coils that need you to reuse the upper mounts. It is not the stiffest setup, but you can order it with custom spring rates at no extra cost. I wonder if they match the damper rate too. The front left mounting perch locks in place unlike the NEX coils I use to have. Slammed to the ground, the front goes down as far as you want it to and the rear leaves a finger gap. There is an easy way to solve that problem. The heavy understeer is eliminated with the factory spring rates. The only prob i see besides the price is that the tie rods are too long and do not give you the extreme front camber angles withour replace the steering rack. Strut bars are a must for any stiffer spring rates over stock. You cannot beat the quietness of a full coil setup. Here are the pics:

And this is the extent of the hood trimming you have to do:



Hope you like the pics. I finally had sometime to take pics, post it, and most importantly work on my car.

Thanks for the pics....I learned that the guy who sold me the intake wasn't lying....he told me to turn the strut bar to the side and I didn't think I could do that.

Very nice! Love the camber adjustment. Didn't know that any other strut bars besides the Neuspeed and DC Sports fit with the AEM CAI. Good to know. How much did you pay for them?

so is your camber currently correct? what size slipstreams are those (off topic[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG])

 
Rep Power: 0

Actually they are out. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] My friend has them on his RSX, and someone on here (saw it in the Member's Ride section) has it on their Civic. They're not gonna make it for the Civic I think unless it's for the EP3 but it's been verified that the RSX one fits for our cars. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Look out, that's my next mod. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] ... not a cheap one but we'll see.

And i didn't know your car was blue with black rims. Kew. When my rims get on my car it'll look funny when we do our comparison unless you're gonna do some exterior mods. Glad you like your setup. It looks nice.

My camber is not to factory specs, but more towards turning power. My front are about -1.0 and my rears are about -1.5. I should get the LCA from SPC. They change the camber about half a degree.

My slipstreams are 16s with 205/50/16 tires.

Hey Zell...

You sure that they are not coming out for our cars? I sent them an email last month, and they said they are due to be out in Feb '03? They told me if I didn't want to wait, I could purchase the set for the RSX and that it would fit with a little modifcation....?

they told me there were no plans to make the flex for our cars??? but they did say i could get different springs an inch shorter then the originals, but i don't know how much more that would drop it??? an inch???[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]


and further more i would cut the top of that strut bolt off before i started cuttin holes in my hood??? whats up wit that???

on konis the adjustment valve is on top there, so maybe its the same on thr tein? im not sure myself

 
Rep Power: 419

I'm not 100% sure, but I think my Fiber Images CF hood has space for those little things that stick out. Yeah, I would cut those shorter before cutting the hood up too. Is that possible? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

guess what i just asked tein again about the flex-------- now they say they have the flex for the 2001 civic part #DSA12-61SS1 However I do not see it on there product list???? I don't know about them, every time i ask them something they give me a different anwser. Anyway if anyone gets that new flex for our car it would be awesome to see how much more drop it adds and how the ride is. The only problem is it sells for 1800 ouchy

I might just get it anyways, that is off course after my new body kit.

i have the tein ss coilovers .. what i'm wonderin is that is there a way that i can get a set of springs that'll be an inch shorter and have a higher spring rate than the ones that came with the set ?

 
Rep Power: 0

You would have to call Tein and ask them. I know they will ship out custom kits brand new, but I do not know about used parts. Call them up and let us know.

i don't have their number . ! but i should've gone with the bags man .. we just had a meet and i liked how the bags looked .. damn .. and its almost as much as the teins .. !!

spanky was selling his air ride for $1000 . it was a real nice setup too, worth around 2500 if you got it from a shop.

 
Rep Power: 419

Oh yeah, I'm pretty much 100% sure now that the Tein Flex for the 2002 Si will fit perfectly up front with the Fiber Images carbon fiber hood. I checked how much clearance I have and there's no internal support there all the way up to the surface of the hood. The hood is a little thicker than the stock sheet metal, but only 1/16" or so, so as long as there's a little room betwean the Tein's up front and the hood then it'll work perfectly.

any word yet if the TEIN SS can be replaced...the spring that is with another one made by TEIN for an even lower drop.....the ride is great...its just that 1 more inch would make the look complete......

I heard some shops charge extra for custom spring rates. I think that is bull, but it is up to the shop. Personally, I would call Tein or find a wholesaler. I know Tein and all the major companies give you custom whatever you want. Most cost money, but I heard they will switch out springs for free. Having them change the spring rate will cost you though.

I just got my car aligned this week and now the off ramps at 50 mph are responsive, smooth, and quiet. I'm playing with tire pressure right now and after that the dampening.

I just got my monkey bar in the mail today. $79 shipped, you have to love it. I'll post pics and tell you if I notice a difference. My Cd player skips all the time now that I put more air in the tire.

You know that Monkey bar roll cages are just for looks right?
it may not help at all.

 
Rep Power: 380

Whoops, you mean Monkey bar Floor bar. Never mind then

If you do happen to want a good roll bar AUTOPOWER RACE ROLL BAR: CIVIC 01-UP

 
Rep Power: 419

Yeah, kinda sucks huh? Roll cages have to be tied in to the main body structure to be effective. I wonder how the hell you assemble these things? Do you weld them? Nah. Maybe you have the joints welded and then you just kinda fit everything together and bolt it all up. Yeah, that might work...

Hey, k3wl. I didn't know that they made one for our cars.

Kinda expensive though. I'de rather make my own. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

ASWZero,

You still got those Eibach Sportlines for sale? Lemme know. I emailed you also. I live in 408. How was the ride when you had then installed? Harsh?

Thanks
