Just installed Neuspeed Race

ultra spikey · 06-23-2009, 10:36 AM

Installed these yesterday, took some quick cell phone shots on the way out to work this morning. Got them used, so it looks like they're already settled. Rides very good on side roads, but just a tad bouncy on the highway. Also my front tires rub the plastic fender lining on big dips. I'll have to take those out later.

edit: Here's a question. I plan on installing a camber kit in the near future. Is it safe to say I can get my alignment done now, then install the camber kit later(when I get the funds)? I would think it would be good to do the alignment now since they adjust everything BUT the camber. And I don't see how camber would effect toe, caster, or anything else? I may be wrong though.

I'll try and get some better pics later.

You just need some stiffer shocks/struts. it will counter that rubbing by having a stiff compression on bumps.

Some correctly valved dampers are what you need to control the oscillations of the higher rate springs.

Camber can affect toe to a certain degree. Depending on drop people have been known not to achieve 0 degree toe, but still within Honda specs I believe.

Getting alignment done twice is all up to you. If you want to do it twice, than you are spending the cost of an extra alignment vs. once if you were just to have gotten the camber kit(s) and installed during spring install.

I've been driving this around for about 5 years, and it's even lower than my Si. So I'm pretty used to driving low. I would've went with a 1.4-1.6" drop, but I was afraid it might not be low enough for me.

i do feel like i could have gone lower. ive never scraped before. anyways good choice
