You are the MAN. Thanks for posting pictures like I PMed you about, much appreciated. I just got my 442's today in the mail and Im going to look for performance All-season tires (treadwear is usually much higher than summer-thus last longer, right?)

Questions
1. Do you rub AT ALL
2. When passengers in car, does it RUB?
3. Stiffness level, compared to OEM RPSEC/track?
4. Bottom out on speed bumps?
5. What size tires
6. Any camber?
7. Life expectancy of the OEM struts? When they end up failing, Would it go lower? Cant recall my tib actually feeling lower once my teins caused my struts to fail
8. I am on a budget, If i get cheaply priced All-seasons (Achilles ATR Sport - 400 treadwear) will they be any harder for the shop to get them to stretch? I dont track the car adn literally drive from work/home and few errands. I cant fork over 900$ for tires right now. ;( (just bought my Blizzaks for winter driving ~700)


regrets?


Your car looks fawkin jooocy , man. I love it.

I just hope these roads in Erie, PA dont ruin my wheels


edit: CANT WAIT! Ksports are to arrive by end of march though ;(

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Just realized I already asked you these questions earlier in the thread. My bad. lolol.... lurking tirerack/ebay for decent tires atm

they hold up good ^ i rip my car every so often and dont back out when another car wants to do a quick pass and mine have held great. i even throw her sideways from time to time and zero issues.

442 looking good wit the drop.

^ put your springs on! you will be glad you did!

esco201

has anyone had any issues with the ksport springs on stock 19's with spacers? we have shitty roads here in NJ and im just worried about when i hit a pothole some are just hard to avoid.

Options

Looks good, im going to order these up next week

2.0T_R-Spec

with the stock rims on the 2.0T will the drop look good?

Kyshakenbake

well I bought my Track suspension from another forum member, practically new 4500 miles on it. Now im waiting for the K-sport springs to be in stock to put on the new suspension. Then im gonna mount it all on the car removing my base suspension.

One weekend we need to get together or something. I know I spoke with 2 or 3 other guys that are from Lexington that own gencoupes. Mini meet or something.

tasports27

Anyone find these in stock anywhere? Ive been calling all over. PM me if anyone knows any that still have them in.

I'm kinda new to modding, sorry for the noob question. What happens when the struts go out? Do you replace them or get coil-overs?

clintbrandt

Whatever you have the money for lol. If your worried about your struts going out, I would just save up for coilovers

Last i heard they are on back order from the manufacturer. I'm still waiting for mine, said to be shipped late march or early april. Got them through Ultrarev.com and since they are out of stock, they are going to be shipped straight from k-sport to my door.

esco201

how much would struts cost if needing to be replaced..? if overall it would end up costing more than coils ill just wait for coils. Another question, how do these sit with stock 19's.. im not sure if the 2 inch drop would be much for these terrible jersey streets. They do look good though.

ArmyHooah

yeah jersey streets suck but the 2" drop isn't bad at all.. the gen can't be "slammed" like most cars unless you pull the fenders so scraping isn't really a problem

esco201

Yeah man ****ing horrible roads! lol.

hhm ok. i was originally going to get sportlines but then i saw the price and drop of these and now i feel like i cant go wrong lol. I just need to know the strut situation as far as how long till they wear down and pricing to get new ones.

clintbrandt

Ehh maybe $100 at most for each. I would honestly save up for coilovers because with the price of the springs plus if your worried about the struts (they will last longer than you think, I ran lowering springs on my civic for 2 and a half years then sold the car and they were still perfectly fine) your getting close to the price of coils. And with coils you get a lot better ride quality and you choose your height. It's up to you though

i mean personally i would prefer to just get these springs and i wasn't really thinking about the struts going.. the main concern was if the struts would wear down like within the first couple of months /year of having my springs installed.

i would much rather put about 700-800 $$$ towards something else rather than coils lol

upstaterspec

I would just get these. If worst comes to worst look how cheap people are selling stock suspension. If you have an rspec or track the upgraded suspension will handle the springs well. IMO makes the car drive 100x better. Doesn't float and if you do camber bolts it's a solid ride.
