damn image station, no wonder I stopped using it:

 

nice.. i was going to buy a set but decided to go with just a spring

 

look like Tom's R1's

 

this was before Tom was even born hater!

by my best recollection, this was around year 2000/2001, just after I sold my Susp Techniques 2.5" springs for $150. I used them for one summer, with 17 inch wheels, stock shocks. The ride was actually not too bad. However, the H&R coilovers I have now, the springs are nearly twice the length, so that makes it twice as nice haha

 

oh, and the point was... look how mint those parts are!!!

 

i bet my toms coil overs look just as clean and its 2004 now

 

remember b, its not the length that matters

 

keep telling yourself that

 

BBARB? COILOVERS??? STOCK SHOCKS??? im stunned

 

yes indeed, I was a ricer too... I was 18-19 years old, what do you expect? those stock shocks were amazing, they are still in excellent shape, I keep them around just in case - I was very easy on my shocks always!

I still have coilovers, except they look like this now:

 

ya thats cuz you suck!! i want dampers

 

enlighten me... what's the difference between a damper and a shock?

 

whats the difference between a Strut and a shock ...?? (there is one)

a shock is a dampner so I don't see a difference there

 

well i meant dampers as in the APEX N1 and stuff like that.. they call them dampers or full-coilovers on their sites


you know what i meant smarty pants.... the full setup you just bolt in/ spring/shock combo

 

oh ok... those are H&R full coilovers in the pic. My buddy has Apexi ones, and he's blown them.

gatherer, a strut is as I understand, a part of the steering system and turns with the steering knuckle. A shock is fixed in orientation.

 

thats what i understood as well

it is cool how so many kids put struts onto there civics though

 

i thought dampers was when you were a kid and wore those things around your waist

 

LOL old folks were depends

 

oh gawd another thread to the crapper
