Talked to Chris today for a while on the phone. Very informative, very helpful! What spring rates did you guys go with.

***Sirbelch*** · 05-21-2008, 10:10 PM

500#/900# Front/Rear.

Highrev1 · 05-21-2008, 10:32 PM

Don;t listen to him he is sick...

500/700 would be a nice aggresive setup and not too crazy on the street...

Belch you shoulda gotten the 1200

***Sirbelch*** · 05-21-2008, 10:37 PM

Its my DD. Don't wanna get to crazy. As soon as ya'll come out with a RSB, I'll be golden. Opposite lock on every corner.

Please start your own review thread. Do forget pics of the box.

Stylinhonda · 05-21-2008, 11:01 PM

Is that with the race shocks or the reg Koni yellows..Was thinking the 450 and 800!

***Sirbelch*** · 05-21-2008, 11:05 PM

DA race. 450/800 would be sweet too. I just like the way 500#ers feel in the front so I didn't want to lose that.

Stylinhonda · 05-22-2008, 12:20 AM

I hear ya. Hows the setup? When will the first reviews be out!

***I<3MyHonda*** · 05-22-2008, 12:22 AM

Mine should be coming in soon...I hope...

Stylinhonda · 05-22-2008, 12:25 AM

Sounds good. Did most people do the core charge thing or doing it themselves?

***Sirbelch*** · 05-22-2008, 12:54 AM

They dropped the option. They make it, you can return the core if you want.

Stylinhonda · 05-22-2008, 12:57 PM

Ah I thought they said you could do both still. Not sure if I want to send my front OEMS before or what. If they do it all now.....you pay $180 and then the coils come complete and ready for install?

you still need a spring compressor for the fronts. They come separate.

Stylinhonda · 05-23-2008, 12:56 PM

Ah I see. How much different is the install than the reg coilover setup. Anyone have theirs on.

FastTimesAtFGHigh · 05-27-2008, 04:43 PM

Chris, I bought Ingalls P/N 81260 for the fronts. Just one box. Is that enough? or do I need TWO bolts PER side?? The vendor is telling me ONE bolt per side is good enough??

Ingalls P/N 81260 = ± 2° adjustment (2 bolts per box at about $22 each)......need to purchase 2 of these for 2 bolts per side. More performance but reduced tire wear. Only do this if you really care about the last tenth of a second at the track.

This info is now available on our Pre-Order Page at APRIL PRE-ORDER for your reference!
