yes, we are starting at 10:00 am ct. I do not know when we will get finished but I will post at least 2 or 3 pictures when I'm done and then wash her up on Thursday and take a lot of pictures and a beginning review.

Can't wait to see the pics. Did you take any pictures of just the coilovers?

EntropyXIII · 05-09-2007, 03:14 AM

hey all, i just installed these tonight on my si sedan. took me and 4 friends about 3 and a half hours and wasnt too difficult at all. i need to get an alignment REALLY bad tomorrow. the only problem i have is i cant seem to figure out how to raise up the back only because when the car is raised off the ground, the spring is still compressed so it would be difficult to adjust to raise it. also there is hardly any room to manuever the wrenches i got. i havent driven on them yet because it was too late but im sure the thread starter will have some reviews up soon. GL and have fun with the install

alright here we go. i managed to get some pics right before it got dark although the pics still came out kinda dark. in order to adjust the rear like i said before, i had to take the wheels off and unbolt the bottom of the strut. this allowed enough give for someone to stand on the hub and let the spring get uncompressed. overall ride quality: i have the front and back dampers set to 13(out of 15) and the ride is amazing. it is stiff but i definately like the way it rides. my car is still unaligned as i set up an appointment for friday but yall get the idea.

i have my flame suit on because i know alot of people do not like 3 spoke wheels...

car looks nice i like the rims, shit looks slammed

youchasedafterme · 05-09-2007, 11:29 PM

SLAMMED....I just saw the first pic when the pics were loading and I thought for a second that the back of your car was still on jacks or was on an incline or something

BlackSi10 · 05-09-2007, 11:46 PM

hey i am having the same problem with the rears.....i put both of the rears on and now my tires are tucked so much, which I did not want. I do not know if it is suppose to be tucked like that or if I did not do the install right or what. If I could get any help from the guys who have these installed also that would be awesome.

yeah i was hardcore tucking in the back when i installed them. pretty much what you have to do is lift up the back, take off the wheel, unbolt the bottom bolt on the shock, and then have someone stand on the hub and that should allow the spring to uncompress enough to adjust it. youre going to have to adjust the spring almost all the way in order to get it to a tolerable level. my rears are set to where there is 13 threads above the spring. i guess you could start from there and adjust to wherever you might want it. also the shock is height adjustable and mine is set almost to the highest. let me know if you need anymore help

do you need a camber kit for those buddy club?

2000civic · 05-10-2007, 12:09 AM

Damn that ish is dropped!!! Can it be set to a higher ride height? I am confused by some of the responces. It sounds like the coils are set to a certian height? Can you please elaboriate on the problem. Thanks

EntropyXIII · 05-10-2007, 12:19 AM

yes the buddy club coilovers are adjustable. they are just able to go so low. and i got the spc rear camber arms for this kit and im pretty sure that without a rear camber kit you wont be able to adjust the camber back to stock or close to stock. the front is perfectly fine with stock camber bolts.

how does the ride compare to stock???

EntropyXIII · 05-10-2007, 12:40 AM

well i have the dampers set to almost as stiff as they can go so the ride is nothing compared to stock.

Well you don't need a camber kit. But if you're okay with bad alignment and buying new tires everytime.

But getting a camber kit is a must have if you're planning to drop your car.

What size are your wheels and tires EntropyXIII?
