Wow nice wheels! sounds like expensive noh.. mao in super lightweight wheels?

Insert ko topic ha... Is there anybody using short shifter? unsay advantages and disadvantages ana? I'm willing to try and put it on my civic. I need your expertize and experience. thanks

Yes Bro, I can help with you that... It shortens the "throw" of the shift lever resulting in quicker shifts,resulting in quicker times. unless you are racing or etc... not recommended for beginners.

kung imo e-drop ang civic, bsag dli kaayo dako, ma usab ba gyd ang camber alignment ana?

Any opinions regarding sa lowering with Rick's? Murag ila e combinar imo stock shocks para ma drop ang height sa aw2...

[blackfox]

Yes, it will effect. The three angles to consider in the alignment settings are caster, camber and toe. All of these suspension settings dictate important considerations in terms of handling, feel and tire wear. Caster is somewhat built-in to the chassis and is non-adjustable on a typical Honda. Generally we are not concerned with adjusting it outside of race-level performance enhancement. It doesn't move much when a car is lowered.

Camber is the most dramatically effected setting when lowering a car. This is the characteristic "tilt" of the wheel on a slammed car. The top of the tire leans into the wheel arch, and in drastic cases (especially on EF and DA chassis), the angle is so severe you'd swear the wheel is about to fall off. Nearly all automotive suspensions are designed to exhibit a certain amount of camber, which is measured in degrees. An age-old gripe within the Honda Tuning is that there is no ability to adjust this angle with the factory suspension arms.

When a car is lowered, the tires will toe-in or -out fairly dramatically, depending on the design of the suspension. The odd thing that happens is, the toe is impacted evenly on both sides, so when the toe is even there is no pull. Many people mistakenly think that because there is no pull no alignment adjustment is needed. Unfortunately they find out instead that their tires have worn out very quickly and need to be replaced.

unless, you are using camber adjustable kit to adjust fairly based on the lowering springs or.. I think murag naa nay mo "kombinar" now a days..try any shop lang bro.. usbon ra ang setting sa imong car (i meant cambers) by rewedding it.

Yes, you need to change your stock shocks also when lowering your car within 2" or below... When you shorten your springs you reduce the amount of up-take in your suspension system, and this naturally results in a rougher ride. The payment for better handling is almost always a bumpy ride. Higher damping rate shocks may help a little, but beyond a certain stiffness they'll actually make the ride WORSE by preventing suspension movement.

but I heard na pwde ra ma kombinar ang shocks by cutting top threads by 2" and re-threading again. But I'm not sure if that's "SAFE".

thanks for the advise. I think I woul like to try it...

[G-Money]

Thnk u very much for the very informative reply boss...

[anut]

Boss, you have any idea where ta magpa shop sa shocks "kuwaan ug 2 inches on top of threads and unya pa thread usab" kay murag mao gyud ni ako problema kay taas ra kaayo akng shocks using coilover. bouncy ra kaayo.

asa na shop pwde mo kombinar ana?
