i am an idiot

mine does it severely, but that is because i took my car off roading on more than a few occasions.
my car rides the roughest of any 98-02 accord i have been in/driven.

i can feel my suspension hit the bump stops and feel it fully compress when i go across intersections,

but i have driven many cars that felt pretty worn, and extremely divey when turning and braking, but your right, it usually isn't until the far side of 100000 miles

Damn dude! As long as you admit to being an idiot then I won't call you one for doing that. :wtcslap:

 

Definition of idiot: I found this pretty funny

2. A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.

 

My 93 accord has eibach pro-kit matched with kyb gr-2's. I lowered my car at around 145k. For the first week or so, the ride was a bit firm. I did noticed that when I braked hard, the car wouldn't dive as much as it used to. (I just bought an 06 Acura TSX...and the brake dive is hard to get used to...makes it harder for me to stop quickly.)

Anyway, once the new springs/struts settled down, the car is pretty smooth on the road. The only way people know that it's lowered is when they have a harder time getting out of the car lol. Otherwise, they have to ask me if it's been lowered. (It only cut the wheel gap in half.)

The mechanic replaced the struts in the 95 accord with kyb gr-2's. It has stock springs, and the ride quality is the same as stock. (It didn't need to be replaced, but I wasn't around when the car was taken to the mechanic....and the mechanic likes to do trial-and-error lol.) My sister brought the car with her to Vegas, so it's been a while...I don't remember how the difference in car diving is now.

 

Thanks for posting this- nice find!

A newbie question, but how can you tell if this is ok for a stock suspension or a lowered suspension? Are the struts all the same length?

Thanks, great info going here. I'm learning alot

 

if you scroll up your question was answered by me.

 

what are you saying?
mine hasnt cracket yet either

 

i've heard that rumor also. Most people that say that are the ones that dont have cross drilled rotors. I havent had any problems with these at all!

 

Well you said you have brembo rotors and since that's a quality brand, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't crack or maybe you just have good driving habits. I tend to brake pretty hard so I might not have such luck. There are some companies selling dimpled rotors now that accumulate brake dust and therefore appear as if they're cross drilled. Those would be a safer bet IMO.
