TS John Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I wanna see SolLes and you race, Cranny. H22 FTW! Come on, man! Put subs in the trunk and remove some weight up front and you're golden. Understeer can be accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 That's the work of his magical fairy! You have all talked about the h22 before and dissed it. It's too heavy, that'll cause too much understeer, not worth it, especially SolLes. Now all of the sudden it's a good idea. Hell yeah I'd want an h22 but had second thoughts after everyone's input. Come on now, you guy's change your mind more than my pregnant wife when deciding on where to eat for lunch! Is it or isn't it a good swap? I for one, have not changed my mind about the H22. I think in these smaller cars that the H22 puts too much extra weight up front. Yeah, it's only about 40lbs or so, but 40 lbs in the front of a car that is already badly front heavy is really bad for handling. If the 40lbs were getting added to the back of the car (hypothetically) then I'd be all for it because that would actually help the handling. The cars that came with the H22 stock are heavier cars stock and the heavier engine doesn't throw them off as much......they were designed to run the heavier H22 in the front while still handling well. All that said, an H22 sol or civic could still handle well with a really good suspension setup and a obese rear sway bar. I'd keep a smaller front sway bar up front though to prevent counter understeer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 My thoughts: Light front sway bar. CF hood. Remove AC/PS (if applicable). ASR subframe kit in the rear. Trunk fulla amps. EZ $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ok, well some updates: Omnipower coilovers are on. I wish my crapty camera could actually show how low it is, I couldn't seem to capture it. The car needs to be washed badly, so don't hate. And the tire shine is so damn dark that you can't see where it starts or ends in the pictures lol. Here they are anyway. I'm a bad photographer. In My Driveway after Letting her back down: Trying to show you how low it is. The splash guard is lower than my car remote (2 inches tall): This looks mean IMO. I need to decide on a lip now. Thinking OEM 92-95 lip. Need an alignment badly. Camber kit = needs adjustment NOW: Front wheel well gap. (On 14" rims, so it's low. Can't even get a finger in between wheel adn fender.) And lastly: Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 you need to lower the back like another half inch dude , imo. just to even it out a bit. looks a little uneven. other than that , looks bomb dude im jealous , cant wait to trade my springs for some CO's.

SolLesHonda Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I love the splash guards. I am powder coating my rims bronze. I can't fit 16's anymore. I have 14's and it's tucked. I like my car lower in front than in back. 90 - I just wish I could get AC lol. I'm still figuring out the money situation. ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 How much lower is it? Maybe it is just the pictures, but it looks to be about where mine sits. I thought you had a Spoon lip on order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I cancelled it for the coilovers. It was back ordered everywhere. I'm very impacient. It is hella low. I dropped it about another 2.5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I wanna see CRG's sol. There are pics of it around here somewhere. It's filthy, or I'd take new ones. Maybe I'll wash it in a little while. SolLess, what was it lowered at before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Do it. Yeah, I probably will. I didn't have it last week and didn't wash it the week before since it was rainy that week, so it's due for a wash. I'll throw pics up in the "show off" thread later on probably. (I didn't realize this was in SolLess' thread ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks. It's cool. It'll be a big thread. Big build-up thread. It was lowered on Tanave DF 210 springs which are supposed to be like 2.5 inch drop according to them. I can't get the factory honda jack under my car anymore lol.

EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 You still have a factory honda jack? I cant get my jack under my car anymore either, I have to lift up on the car to put the jack under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
