What are those hooks used for in the top left? I know its a tein kit.. but I'd like to know what they're used for before I take another stab at my install :].

***CivicKid19*** · 07-23-2007, 12:41 PM

How much was the whole kit?

JeShUa · 07-23-2007, 12:54 PM

B&G= 1200. Still looking for an answer for my Q ;]

hey man.. love the way the drop looks. how much did you pay and where did you get ur kit from?

I believe those hook wrenches are used to adjust the drop after they are installed. They turn the rings there.

Yep, that's what they're for.

***MonkeyConQueso*** · 07-31-2007, 01:40 PM

Holy poop, sorry for the late response, I didn't notice the posts in here

Yeah, the hooks are for adjusting spring pre-load in front while it's on the car, and also to loosen the height collar if you are going to take it off the car to adjust it. It's a PITA to loosen those when it's off the car.

And yes, the set was $1200. I got it from CorSport (http://www.corsportusa.com) but they don't have them listed any more. I'd suggest calling and talking to Remy or Tai to see if they can still get them from B&G.

JeShUa · 07-31-2007, 01:44 PM

Yeah. Its a little difficult to do, but yeah.. thats what they're for.

And yeah.. when I did my install.. it didnt look like you needed the whole assembly, but just use it.. or else you'll lose your bearings

Thanks Khronox for answering! I actually don't know if I would adjust the height while it's on the car since the collar is a PITA to move for the height. But honestly I haven't tried it. I had to take the coils off for adjustments, so I changed height then.

I'll take them off again in a while when B&G comes out with the pillowball mounts for the fronts. I REALLY don't like the OEM top mount.

Lol, nice pun

Actually, the metal ring was rattling around for me. I kinda doubt the plastic piece would separate w/o the ring. But by all means, leave it on! I don't think it would hurt anything either way.

This all reminds me - I'll be sending B&G an e-mail requesting the pillowball mount since I hate the OEM so much. I'll post if I get a response :)

yeah, i just ordered my 07 LX, they are installing the HFP suspension and also the HFP 18" 7 spoke wheels, it just sets the car off! nice ride by the way!

***MonkeyConQueso*** · 08-15-2007, 05:27 PM

^^ Thanks Jay4dnb!

As far as the pillowballs from B&G go, I e-mailed someone there again to see if I could get a response. I doubt they have any ready, but I still would like to know for sure!

JeShUa · 08-15-2007, 06:42 PM

Hm. I'd much rather be without them. Even though you sacrifice a little handling, your ride quality is better.

redline8500 · 08-23-2007, 09:39 PM

just bought an si coupe and i was wondering what would be a good suspension kit like a megan or a b&g or whatever is out there a good like roadrace worthy with camber plates and compression and rebound dampening

JeShUa · 09-08-2007, 02:35 AM

Thats where the front camber bolts go right?? must be.. I'm gonna try to install mine without F`ing it up.. lol.

JeShUa · 09-08-2007, 02:41 AM

Hey man,

Yeah, you can either put it in the top bolt position, or the bottom. Doesn't matter except it will make a small difference on how far you can adjust. Apparently the top bolt position is perfect for more adjustability. The washer "adjuster" is annoying as f&@(. I couldn't figure out a good way of telling what camber I had with it. I usually just eyed it.
