Thats funny.....my girl and her family moved here from arizona too....small world

[sandweller999]

I guess so .... Honda what struts are you going to be using and what springs did you get? are you doing all this yourself or are you having someone else put them in for you? In this next month I am going to be getting that damn bumber on and I need to do my suspension work to but I cant pay anyone to do it this time. So I dont qiote know how I am going to get around that but well see....

But the 7th is cool for me I should have all my shit done by then and looking better.!!!

Where in AZ are they from? Peoria/Glendale for me

If you guys don't want to pay someone to do this. I'm sure during the meet we can swap out your suspension and drop your car. I don't have the right tools for the job though lol. Tyler might depending if were meeting in Duluth this time or MPLS.

[sandweller999]

that would be huge !!!! I dont mind the trial and error its just the error I worry about. My roommate has all the tools I just dont want to ask him because he is a bmw/ audi guy and always gives me shit.. i am sure that it is all in fun though.... i just dont want to hear about it...lol

when do we start to make the concensus on duluth or mpls?

[nate_0022]

It would probably take all of us around an hour to install your drop at most, a couple people on each wheel and should be done rather quickly.

Whenever people provide input. Like I said I'm down for whatever. I think it would be a hard time finding stuff to do in Duluth, but that's just me.

[sandweller999]

allright well we shoud for sure have the last one there to drive the coast and take pics in the fall that would look so good...... And I could use the help I am going to go and get the bumper on sat if he doesnt have the baby this weekend so at leat that wil be done but not painted but I am not all that worried about that

Im looking at different shocks and struts right now....im probably going to go with KYB-gr2......but not sure. I got the TEIN springs from tearstone. They were cheaper.......im a broke ass. Later on i might be going with eibach but not till later, after i get more power on the motor. Right now its just for looks. I found these adjustables on Andys auto sport that look cool.....might get those. I got a friend thats a mechanic at a specialty shop and he is helping me with them. I could probably do them my self but i dont have the tools. he is helping me with my whole suspension. Probably some of my engine build too.....but he is a muscle car guy so for my turbo i might have to go elsewhere.


My girl moved from Mesa AZ.

[adio405]

7th should work for me. Halo how are those pics coming?

[sandweller999]

so the 7th sounds like the day for us all

do we meet in mpls or duluth now? anyone want to chime in?

does anyone know what would be the next best alternative to the kyb struts.....as I am a broke ass also

[Hondahunter04]

Check out this link man its got 3 choices of shocks and struts for the eclipse, see if the price of those are ok for you......



http://www.performancecenter.com/shocks-absorbers


This second link is for price comparisson......they have the same KYB shocks and struts but for more expensive.......but this one has rear shocks for cheaper than the first link, so maybe you can get fronts from one site and rears from another.....hope this all helps man.....also check out the camber kit they have as well......

[sandweller999]

Has anyone had any experience with the tokico struts? they seem to be a little less expensice but I have never heard anything about them

Thank you Honda I have been on performance before but not andys website. I appreciate the help.......I need all I can get!! I am thinking that I am going to go with the kyb that you are going to use but I would like to know about the tokico struts,

Ok I am going to vote on Mpls again for the meet and that will give you plenty of time nate to think about what you can show us about your town.

[ClipseGT01]

I did the lowering springs and struts on my eclipse myself last summer so that should be helpful. That first weekend in June is my brohers grad party so it depends on what time were thinking about meeting and which day for sure.

I've heard Tokico and KYB are pretty similar in quality but I had GR2s and my Civic Ex before and really liked them so I went with AGX's on my clipse.

[Solar]

Just letting you guys know that I am officially selling PlasmaGlow Neon, etc...

Tried them.....dont have any.....hey man when you did your drop did you use a camber kit?

[nate_0022]

I think all you'll need is a rear camber kit, there is a how-to for a homemade one. I've only used it on the rear.

[adio405]

Yea I got the Eibach one. I've actually been playing around w/ my camber lately. I got it at like +0.0 right now, don't do that, trust me. I was trying to decrease the negative camber and spaced it to much. I'm bringing it back closer to -1.0 in like 20 minutes.

There's a thread on it, but you need M10 - 1.25 x 40 - 10.9 HCS - qty: 8
And some washers to space it w/, I used fender washers. They say to use a lockwasher but i'd use loctite 242 instead since lockwashers barely do anything. There a myth.

They say to space 3/8 to an inch, i'd do closer to 3/4". at least on my car

well my guitar player works at an alignment shop and he doesn all the alignments and suspension for the shop so were gonna do it at his shop. Plus he races also.....he is a muscle car guy but he loves working on cars.

[Hondahunter04]

hey adio.....any word on the fancy doohickie for the intake pipe??

[sandweller999]

is a camber kit really needed? I dont believe that I had one on last time

[nate_0022]

I've heard with a pro kit drop it isn't necessary.

[adio405]

It's nothing fancy just some steel flat, I'll try and get that for you. I've been busy.

I'll try and get it done for the next meet.

Thats cool bro.....just wondering

[nate_0022]

So guys, what is the verdict for the meet place? MPLS, or DULUTH? I'll edit the first post and put everyones name that had interest from the first meet.

[Hondahunter04]

Im down for whatever......just need to know if its duluth pretty quick so i can make arrangements with my ex about my daughter.

[nate_0022]

Alright, we need to get more people involved. If someone has time to pm the people above about stating there opinions that would be great since I don't have much time anymore. Also if people want to start pm'ing there phone numbers so I can have everyones numbers, it would be a lot easier finding everyone once meet time comes around again.

[adio405]

i'd rather do MPLS.

[slvr/t]

Well I'll be in Duluth for those dates (more then likely).

[nate_0022]

We need to get more people involved in this, it seems we only have 4 people that are making the decision for everyone.

[Hondahunter04]

well if no one else wants to give up some input then they will deal with the decision we all make for them......or not show up again like the last time.



Money is kind of tight right now.....im voting MPLS this time as well

[nate_0022]

So June 7th, in Mpls is our final decision.

[Hondahunter04]

Im down with that.....my brothas from otha mothas........love peace and chicken grease........peace out, yo yo yo, aiiiiggghhhttt!!!!
