Hey man I have a question so my sway bar link keeps snapping and breaking apart any chance you know why?

Thanks for the detailed steps on the front. I have a 10th gen and am going to install springs and camber adjustable ball joints. Seperating the axle from the knuckle is necessary to remove the ball joint and makes removing the strut so much easier as well. Nice work 👍

love the white on red and the drop!

Dam, that actually looks killer man ! Finally, one that isn't slammed and cambered out! Now I wanna do this to my honda lol

looks fantastic!!!

Another great video Good details and commentary

Hey man! This video is REALLY helpful! I was attempting my 3rd coilover install on my 23 crv but got damn I couldn’t figure out what else to take off for clearance to remove the strut, AXLE DUH I was 1 BOLT away lmaooo. Put my stocks back on, today I did the rear, tomorrow I’ll tackle the front, appreciate you!

Thank for the video. Somehow I was able to remove the front shocks without having to remove the axle and knuckle

Nice!

The stock wheels are sick on the civic. Might be the first generation I wouldn’t bother changing. Width would be the only issue but I’m sure some wider replica versions are out there.

Will need this for installing D2 springs. I havent worked on any car before so this is my first time ever. Hope its the same process and steps.

With installing springs, you have to take apart the factory strut which is a lot more annoying and sketchy sometimes

@GavinCacciotti

As with aftermarket coil overs, you just swap the entire assembly out which is way easier

Torque specs for the lower control arm bolt and the strut/knuckle bolt?

idk if you will see this but when i installed my coils, i separated the housing where that 17mm is by using a flat head. even a little bit of tension or force should allow you to have the coil slip right into the socket on knuckle. just some food for thought

Thanks! They're Rota Slipstreams actually.

How do you get access to the two 12mm nuts for bolts on the shocks in the rear? You have to go through tbe trunk or is it just the bolts going into the body and hold themselves in?

@GarageBuiltHondas

Just the way I did. From the bottom in the fender area. 2 bolts hold the shock on there.

I know this is an old video but I'm going to guess that sleeve is for an SI and not a sport

Maybe? I have no idea. They worked perfectly fine up until last week when I installed some D2's onto the car.

That looked like a painful job, Jon. Having to grind the cups makes me wonder what the hell Rev9 was thinking when they designed these coils.

No SI trim? Sad

On the rears, when you swapped out the top hats I'm 99% sure the rubber bushing underneath it is supposed to be moved to the new shock as well. 16:12 you can clearly see that there is an empty space without the bushing. This will leave the entire weight of the vehicle on just the shaft & aluminum top mount.

The Rev9 have the bumpstop under the protective sleeve already. Adding this would've meant the car rode around on 2 bumpstops and on the stops all the time.

@estewar03

Жыл бұрын

@GarageBuiltHondas but it's not a bump stop, it's part of the mounting. As you pointed out earlier on the bump stops are on the actual piston portion of the strut where it would do something. Like you mentioned in your reply, it would always rest on the upper mount like it's supposed to, because there is no suspension travel there so there wouldn't be movement 😉

do you think 1 inch spacers would look good with these coilovers?

@GarageBuiltHondas

Ай бұрын

I don't think the coilovers matter. Depends on the wheel width and offset and tire size that you want to use.

Can I get a link on where to get these exact ones please?

I'm unsure. The owner of the car bought them online. Just Google shop them.

Can you share the measures from all 4 corners ?

@GarageBuiltHondas

I can't. The car isn't mine, and I haven't seen the owner in person in 2 months. With coilovers you can lower it as low as the coilovers allow you to.

the rear spring is wrongly installed. it should be an adjuster at the top.. 

Did you get any warning lights on the dash after installing the coilovers.? Great video by the way.

No, nothing at all.

Welcome to the nightmare that is VW-like suspensions. The fronts suck. My MK6 and MK8 GTIs have the same style. I have a set of springs for the mk8 that have been collecting dust in the garage because they're such a pain to install. Also, on the rear...threaded shock and threaded spring perch is meant for setting correct preload for the rear suspension. Use the spring perch to adjust the ride height with the weight of the car on it, then thread the shock to match the ride height.

I put rev9’s on my 10th gen accord and then mmm shits lasted a week

It doesn't seem correct to me. OEM slid in and out perfectly. In my opinion it should fit exactly the same as OEM.

Not a bad looking car but man, is that a big as a 2000 accord.... I hate that auto manufactures keep making everything bigger and bigger. Then have to introduce a new model that's as small as the original offering that is now to big.
