Nice setup, just one question...why go for GC w/ Koni? Why not go with JIC or Tein or something of that sort?

 
Rep Power: 343

Because the koni yellow/GC combo is cheaper And you can get custom spring rates for them too

I only have enough money for the springs right now, and you can't buy the springs seperate from the shocks with the Teins or JICs so i'm goin that route. I need to get tighter springs in my car before the 27-28th of September, goin to Watkins Glen

y b/c those are JDM? I swear...this "JDM MOVEMENT" is seriously getting on my nerves....I personally go with work works and I get the best product for the best product...sorry not going out my way to make my car a JDM *****

 
Rep Power: 329

maybe because JIC and tein make full coilovers? and those would be a superior product to spring/shock combo?

 
Rep Power: 374

More adjustablity. Tein SS - 16 way dampering

 
Rep Power: 343

The Konis have all the adjustment i need so i'm gonna get them, i can't justify spending that much money on a set of coilovers.

 
Rep Power: 374

There is a reason they are more expensive. More adjustability and they work better. Not everything has to do with the "JDM craze" I

Can i perform k20a2 swap in a 2004 acura 1.7 El (canadian car) like a four door civic.

Thancks!

 
Rep Power: 329

i don't know your level of expertise, or what kind of tools you have access to...

j/k, but yeah the EL is a rebadged and tweeked civic. same chassis, it would work. i don't know of an EL with a swap, you could be pretty unique

 
Rep Power: 301

did you do your dyno? what numbers are you those with the k20a3 putting up?

 
Rep Power: 291

I havent gotten the car back from the shop yet, Its only been there about 2 weeks and when i had it towed to them they told me it would be about three weeks before they could get to it, plus i need some more time to save up some more money.

 
Rep Power: 0

Pray tell, where'd you guys find k20A2 engines and how much did they cost? I'm thinking of doing a swap but heard its next to impossible to find a decent Type S engine. Thanks.

 
Rep Power: 343

mine came from a person that decided to back the car into a pole at about 60mph? It only had 4,058 miles on it. The guy i got it from got it from a auto auction, just look around junkyards and ebay even maybe, your bound to find a good one eventually.
