    DIY- RSX Steering Wheel Install

    I see JDM shops trying to sell these wheels all the time but I always thought they were dual stage. Are you completely 100% positive that the JDM DC5 steering wheels are single stage?

    Seat question

    One of the small metal pieces on the metal harness of my driver seat broke a while ago and had it welded back at a local shop, but it's broken again after two weeks. My leather seat is still good. Anyone know if the metal harness can be removed from the leather seat or is it one piece? A...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    I'm liking what I'm hearing. Thanks for the review and pics Kville02Accord, that's really helpful. Ya.. I'll be honest, coilovers is not exactly the best recommendation as some say on this forum. That said, I do have admit the coilovers I had were top notch quality in every way but weren't...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    the only concern i have with my set up now is that they're a bit mismatched. when im driving at 70-80mph, the car becomes unstable to drive. when im going 60mph+ and hit an uneven bump, the car feels unstable. im thinking the koni sport and old oem springs are mismatched but it's just a guess. i...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    Here are some numbers for spring rates of different. If these numbers mean anything, one would think the Tanabe NF210 will be softer than H&R Sport. I've heard many people say that the Eibach ProKit is softer than the Sport. Not to generalize but normally drivers from SoCal aren't the greatest...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    They're on the softest settings and I actually had H&R sports paired with them. Now I'm on OEM springs and my experience tells me that the springs are old and are mismatched because when I'm going 70-80mph, I have to have both hands on my steering wheel to make the small adjustments. I should...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    After years of reading comments about performance shocks versus other aftermarket shocks that have a slightly stiffer valving, I have to say from my own experience that performance shocks - Koni Sport which I currently have, is not for everyone. The cracks, bumps, pot holes are more pronounced...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    I'm no expert on suspensions but having read so much. Basing on spring rates, wouldn't even 1kg/mm make a difference in ride comfort? I know that tech specs should be taken with a grain of salt. Even with that said specs given from Tanabe suggest that their NF210 springs are 4.1 / 2.5, which...

    Tanabe NF210 and H&R Sport

    The drops aren't the same but they are close: Tanabe 1.2F / 0.8R, H&R Sport 1.5F / 1.2R I'm more interested in the ride quality i.e. comfort. Considering that my stock springs are way past their prime, I'd like to consider a softer spring with a moderate drop. Is there a significant...

    ignition switch recall w/ aftermarket alarm

    After reading up on the ignition switch issue, I had taken my car to the dealership and confirmed that my car is eligible for the free ignition switch recall but they told me they would charge me $200 because they have to remove or disconnect my aftermarket alarm starter. Then to get the alarm...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Didn't want to create a new thread. I'm surprised i couldn't find any post regarding koni yellows and oem springs. I havent been able to find a used set of softer springs of teins/tanabes/eibach yet, so I'd like to find out what ppl know about oem springs with koni sport. My guess is with...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Re: Prokit and H&R sports springs i called H&R (again) to ask how much stiffer (% wise) they are to OEM. they (or the guy) beats around the bush which was extremely annoying - i know a "no" would have been suffice. Q: can i get some info about h&r springs for accord 98 A: "we don't publish...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Re: Prokit and H&R sports springs just asking, is it bad to have the springs sitting on different perches, for example the rear on the 2nd (upper) and the first on the 1st (lower)? i dont see why not but just want to be sure. my guess is the eibach sportlines are similar to the h&r springs.

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Re: Prokit and H&R sports springs I don't recall stock being as bad as it is now. Thank goodness for the dampening feature of the yellows cause it smooths out some of the bumps. Downtown sucks... i hate driving down there. :doh: Thanks for the advice. I read that tein springs squeak...is...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Re: Prokit and H&R sports springs I'm asking myself the same question again after 2 months. No used prokits have shown up on craigslist. So to reiterate my concern, I love the h&r springs on the highway but I cringe when I drive downtown. Anyone with input can tell me if it's worth it for me...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    Re: Suspension Q - aftermarket spring rates I called both companies. Eibach was nice to provide the springs rates to me. However, H&R said they don't release this information. That doesn't help. I have considered Teins. I've been searching local forums and craigslist for used springs but...

    Prokit, H&R sports, Koni sport

    There were a few forum threads on different springs, in particular the prokit and h&r sports but didn't find the answer I was looking for. To begin, I currently have koni sports yellow shocks on full soft (2 months old) with h&r sports springs 1.5/1.2. For the most part, on the highways and...
