Take that biotch!


Just needs a quick detail and a nice poilshed INJEN intake.

New sways and strut bar feels soooo good.. Body roll is pretty much completely eliminated.

 

 

weird.

 

vtec ??

 

u guys don't get it... phil used to hate my old UGLYYY set up.. He'd gag looking at it so I figured he might like this set up a little better lol.

 

Looks good Nino! Too bad the Kinetix cover for the SSV costs $250! I'm thinking about getting a strut bar and under frame brace to stiffen the chassis. That way when I go over a curb my car doesn't "thud."

 

Thanks man.. Yea the friggin cover costs 250!!! Thats outrageous.

John installed front and rear sways along w/ that GT spec strut bar.. Man this car feels so good now.. No more body roll..

I'm thinking about getting that 4 point frame brace too.. maybe full suspension down the road?

 

So let's get a recap...what did you get, installation, final thoughts, etc...

How is the SSV? Any noticeable difference in TQ/HP/Sound.

 

Recap on what? Everything that I've done to my car so far?

As for the SSV, didn't really notice anything other than top end.. I noticed that for sure.. Now that I have my cats back on I regained my low end torque so the powerband feels so much more balanced now all the way through... I'm really happy with how the car performs and the way it sounds.

 

Yeah...what sways did you put on? We sell Eibach stuff at work, so I've been thinking a getting a set of their adjustables, but want to know if they affect the ride. I'm all for flat cornering, but this is my daily driver, so I don't want to compromise on ride quality. How hard was this all the stuff to install? I imagine the SSV would pretty easym but what about everything else?

 

The car rides just fine like it was stock.. Just the cornering is a lot better.. They are shaped just like the stock sways but they are a lot more firm. John sort of had a hard time putting them in because you had to slide them in just perfect but overall they were pretty easy to install... SSV was really easy, its pretty straight forward.

I'd say get the eibachs

 

I was on their site this morning and downloaded the instructions and it seemed pretty uncomplicated. The only thing that confused me a little were the adjustments that can be made. The front have 2 positions and the rear have 3 and some were for dry conditions and some for wet. Would the compliance of the sway affect dry/wet characteristics that much? Did yours have directions for adjustment?

 

Hi

PM sent.

Cheers

 

The install is easy. The part that sucks is laying on you back trying to get all the bolts loose. The front really sucks because you have to take out the million bolts for the under cover. Overall it's an easy install but very time consuming unless you have air tools. It also helps when Nino is giving you an inner thigh massage while working on his car.

 

Yea i got the directions and all.. I just ignored that whole wet/dry environment and went straight for the firmest setting.. They're just sway bars after all right? I used the lowest setting on the front and the lowest in the rear.. Don't let all that wet/dry stuff confuse you unless you're doing some kind of circuit track racing.
