I recently lowered my car on tokico blues and sportline. I have this annoying creaking sound coming from the front upper suspension. It happens when I'm turning my steering wheel at a stop and also cruising at low speeds. It's been driving my crazy lately. I love the stance but can not stand the noise. from my searching, it seems this is a common problem with lowering springs ]]> Suspension and Brakes bmcivic http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226306-buddyclub-n-suspension-noise.html Need help, question about coils! http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226249-need-help-question-about-coils.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:11:23 GMT So i purchased Skunk2 Pro-s v2 coils about a month and a half ago.

I am looking to get coilover's. Currently one of our sponsors (located in ontario) NextMod has a sale on the BC Racing BR coilovers... I am looking for coil overs and am wondering if anyone has heard anything good / bad about these coilovers...

Any feed back would be good... I am looking for something that I can slam my car summer, spring, and fall and jack it up for the winter time... Also looking to have something that is fully adjustable for the track...

Let me know people! :D ]]> Suspension and Brakes TienZee http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226175-bc-racing-br-coilover.html <![CDATA[Need a set of coils that drop at least 3"]]> http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226148-need-set-coils-drop-least-3-a.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:10:50 GMT Looking for a reliable/affordable set of coils that drop around 3"...im doing a flush fit but the coils i was going to get throw my work are garbage, they only drop 2".....And recommendations would be great, thanks ]]> Suspension and Brakes Minkler http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226148-need-set-coils-drop-least-3-a.html Just put on my neuspeed springs http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226125-just-put-my-neuspeed-springs.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:52:18 GMT http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...00000214618495

I live in an area where winter sucks and lots of salt is laid down every year. The service manager at my local stealership assured me that their techs disassemble the brakes and grease the hubs, sliders, etc for the B maintenance.

Well, they didn't anything.

I had to smash my front driver's side rotor to bits to get it off, a first. They were all rusted to the hubs in a big way. I bought a 1986 VW Golf in 2000 while I was in school and had an easier time doing the brakes on that POS that on my two-year-old Si.

Every screw holding the rotors in place had to be drilled out and every rotor required a proper application of force to be removed (ie beating the crap out them with a hammer). A torch would have helped, I'm sure.

It gets better . . .

After smashing my first rotor to pieces, I realized that my order was messed up. I was shipped rotors for non-Si Civics. Shame on me for not checking that out first. It took a week to get that sorted out - a week with no car, which I use for work.

Just when I thought I was out of the woods as I installed the final rotor, I discovered that it was warped right out of the box. I just said 'Screw it' and went to the stealership and got another one. I made sure to pass on my complaints to the owner while I was there and it was like talking to a Heinz pickle. I'll take it up with Honda Canada this week and that'll be my last transaction with that shop.

I've spent more time on my knees this weekend than a $10 whore in a room full of millionaires, but my Hawk HPS pads and new rotors are finally installed and work great. I still need to bleed the system, but I'm waiting until my Speed Bleeders show up. ]]> Suspension and Brakes skid_marque http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226031-brake-job-hell-2008-si.html KWor ST coilovers http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspension-brakes/226030-kwor-st-coilovers.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:20:28 GMT Does anyone know where I can get prices or buy ST coilovers and KW variant 1s for our cars?
