Honda lowered using Tanabe

[Blackmafia]

Its not a very "tall" car. CG wise ok to me. as the car is very broad. Corner wise Im using pretty big rims - actual 15". I went to 18" so corner wies is very stable for me. FC dipped after I gone from 17" to 18" even when I choose Jap rims..no choice, want my ride to look good as my car is quite big in terms of size. Im clocking around 11 with 18". Power is 135 bhp.

If you think Tanabe Springs is great, you should try springs with aftermarket shocks to compliment your suspension setup.

 

Our brother, Modeost runs springs and koni shocks. Probably didn't spend anything more than $900 at all 4 corners. Handling's god damn responsive and precise.

 

Try and rid the stock shocks. Aftermarket springs puts alot of stress on stock shocks.

 

Now more than ever a great way to achieve orgasm each time you corner.

er izzit true that once in awhile must activate vtec? if not engine will not be healthy or what?

[Mzrmazda3]

Must the alignment be immediately? Or should I drive for a few days first to let it settle down?

 

Let the springs settle for 1-2 weeks before proceeding to do alignment

Hey! Great ride you have! I'm looking at an Edix too but before i get the car, i need to know what aftermarket kits they have out there. Do u mind to point me in the right direction? Thanx!

[Gadgeter]

All I can say is.... Nice ride.

[DarkLord]

Koni yellows?

[BMW320i]

No idea ... your gonna have to check with him.

[Blackmafia]

Hmmm, am a novice here, will look into that probably at a later stage. Haha! In any case thank you for the advice ya! Mine just a normal family ride, perhaps dun need to go so detail into that!

er izzit true that once in awhile must activate vtec? if not engine will not be healthy or what?

 

Well, that what I heard from the workshops..I would not say unhealthy for the engine.. more as to clear up the valve or something. Also that once a blue moon pamper your car with premium petrol like v-power to help clean up the engine.
