    Good information in here. I'll be looking into these COBs. Mikey, are you referring to the pins holding in your gauge cluster being a pain to take out?

    No, I'm talking about de-pinning that brake lamp indicator switch. I had a momentary lapse in how to de-pin and tugged on it the wrong way. I ended up stripping the wire off of the pin. I left it be for now but I'll have to remember to go back, at some point, and essentially fix that, lol.

    Mikey, are you saying that just taping off the wire for the turn signals won't work if you have leds?

    No. They draw less power so the car (ECU) thinks there's a bulb out. This "trick" basically unplugs the wire for that sensor. Lol. So you have to be vigilant about making sure they don't burn out.

    So I did a thing... Installed new Moog sway bar links and new OEM shock bolts while I was at it. Have shock bolts/nuts and pinch bolts for the front, just have to install them. Gonna order front sway bar links this week. Pics to come. It's dark and the car is dirty. Lol.

    Good to see you messing with the ole Accord. :)

    Btw Fall Import Alliance is in Bowling Green, KY. We'll be setting something up for that if your circumstances change by then.

    Indeed. Hopefully they will. Time will tell. At this point there isn't much of a light at the end of the tunnel yet, so I'm gonna plan on not being able to go anywhere.


    So...here's what I have for now. Hasn't been washed and I still need to do some tweaking. :shrug:

    Sig pic is a decent reference. Front came down a bit, rear is a very noticeable difference. Going to install front hardware/links soon and will probably lower the front a tiny bit and try to raise the rears a tiny bit. 16 way adjustable so I set them on full firm and clicked back 4 turns so, I guess number 12..? Lol. Rode home better then I thought. Then again it was surface streets that were relatively smooth and I never saw anything over 50 or 55mph. Once I get the front hardware pieces in and make the proper adjustments, I'll venture out on the highway. :hide:
