hey, i got my springs and shocks finally! I was wondering exactly what it was that A.Oster did/used for the back??? I mean as far as helping with the rear camber. I believe it was some washers or nuts that were added??? I got the typical tokico blues/nuespeed race set up and will probably be puttin them on tomorrow. help me por favor!
A bunch of stainless steel washers is what I told him and what I used on mine. No more 4X4 look huh?

yeah thank goodness! ok..a whole bunch of SS washers....any idea on what sizes i should get and approximately how many i would need on each side??? and would i need a longer bolt if i use thses washers???
oh yeah, i couldn't find ANYTHING on the last bulletines that i was missing but i'll give it another shot tomorrow if i get the chance!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The stainless steel ones I got were I think 5/8-3/4 inch with a hole for a 3/8 inch bolt I think, the regular standard size ones anyway. You can put up to six (because they are thinner, about half the thickness of the 3 regular washers) before you will need longer bolts. Take one of the bolts with you if you have to get a longer one so you get the right threads.Quote:

So nothing on the ones left huh? If you can't find them I'll try my dealer here again on the missing ones.

errr...the thing is that i'll be doing the install at work and dont exactly have the time to leave the car with parts laying around and make a run to lowe's or any other department store for the matter. I'm just going to buy a bunch of washers of diff sizes and prey i get the right ones...otherwise i'll just do the install without for the time being and throw on the washers when i put some new tires on. thanks geo!
Yea, I just dug around in the garage and slapped on one per side for mine... I don't know the dimentions to the washer though. Good Luck!

Looks great! How is the ride now?
i love it! the ride really as harsh as i was thinking it was going to be. it almost still feels like stock until i go over the more harsher bumps in the road(and seattle is sucking really bad with the construction going on). the car turns a hell of a lot easier and is a hell of a lot more stable when hitting turns. i just cant really womp on it until i get some lower profile tires cuzz i'm rubbin a bit. anyone wanna donate $200 to the "edward needs some fusion zri tires" funds??? hahaha
Looking good, is it 2 or 2 1/2? Rails on wheels now. [img]wink.gif[/img]

oh yes, just put some fresh fuzion zri 195/50/15 tires on her. they grip pretty nice. ended up spending $309 after taxes and installation for them. pics up as soon as i get a chance. oh yeah...car is still dirty lol
Fresh fuzion zri 195/50/15 tires: $309
A decent alignment: $80
A quick spin through the car wash: $15
Seeing your car sexy after the drop...... <u>Kick ass!</u>
i took 3 pics today and i'm not satisfied with any of them. it was a little dark out and my mom's accord was in the way here is a teaser for the time being...

-tires and installation = $309
-Alignment = $0...i'll be performing my own alignment at renton honda
-Car Wash = $0...nothing touches my car other than a hot azz female modeling for my car or a microfiber wash mit. Car washes weren't recommended for our cars either. But juss if in case if i wanted to run it through the car wash...it would STILL be free courtesy of renton honda as well haha.
-Washer for rear camber = $2.00??? havn't bought them yet.
btw A.Oster...do you get ANY rub at all when you turn the wheel ALL the way???
Hmmm... I've been driving it 5-6 days a week, about an hour a day, and nothing yet. (...that I noticed) [img]confused.gif[/img] My blasted front mudflaps scrape though! Yet another project on the list.
I dropped the hamster cage from under the dash and cleaned it out today, and I rigged my shakers from vibrating out of the seatbacks. (Woohoo)
Next is figueing a way to slip one under the seat... at least for the passenger side seat (for the ladies) [img]wink.gif[/img]
Anyways, are you noticing a rub?

yeah i'm getting rub when i turn it ALL the way. its weird cuzz i dont se ehow it would rub. i have more clearance than i did with my last set of tires and those kinda rubbed. These new tires dont rub as much but i woulda believed that the rub woulda been gone! hMmMMm maybe its something else!!!
