Ive Decided on Suspension, but have questions

So ive decided that in the near future i will be buying neuspeed race springs, kyb agx's and an spc camber kit for my 05 LX Coupe...from TrueHonda...

is there anything i should know? in particular any mods needed to these to fit? or should they work directly

thanks...

oh and id like to get your input on the setup

Adam

You might need to bore out the mount bolts on the front KYBs to 16mm and remember to get the 03+ front camber kit. Other than that, just take the mount off the stock shock/spring and put it on the new set up. Read the Spring/DIY. It has a lot of good info and pics. Setup is fine. It seems like I repeat myself over and over again, but opinions aren't going to do ****. Both neuspeed and KYB make good stuff and I commend you on picking quality products!! But people are gonna say get this or get that. Do what is best for you and what you want to do with the car.

Your front mount bolts are 16mm and they kyb's should be made for the 01-02 with 14mm bolts. Ask your supplier if kyb makes them with 16mm holes, if not you will just hvae to bore the 14mm holes to 16mm.

No, the two holes at the bottom of the strut where the steering knuckle is installed will have to be widened. However, I thought that the AGX's can be purchased either way. Not sure though, best to call.

No, the steering knuckle is different. That is the tie rod bolt, and that should be the same.

You need to widen the MOUNT holes. The bolts that hold the strut to the brake hub. I would call KYB to ask if they make different ones.

Rob, the steering knuckle and brake hub as you call it are the same thing. Its the lower part that connects to the strut housing that has two bolts and nuts.
