    Accord type r springs on ek

    I never found actual springrates of them either but i compared them with my spoon lowering springs and my oem springs and they are much stiffer and about the same length as spoon progressive lowering springs. I and others also counted the windings and measured the thickness of the spring wire...

    Accord type r springs on ek

    Look into MG ZS front springs .The ZS 120 springs are around 7K and lower the ek about 3cm depending of engine weight offcourse.The ZS 180 has a V6 engine in it and has even stiffer springs .So one of those should work . You could use the entire shock damper and spring of the ZS ,the shock...

    Spoon springs for DC2 - understeer?

    Also note that OEM type R spring rates are lineair in the front and progressive in the rear. Spoons are progressive front and rear.So you can't really compare the spring rates as the progressive ones get higher the more they are compressed. I have the spoon progressive springs on my civic EJ9...

    Spoon EK9 springs

    I just wished i knew this before i bought my spoon springs and koni shocks.I think i'm going to order a set of those front Zs 120 springs and try them out :). The price you pay for new MG shocks and springs is really hard to beat compared to spoon's and koni's .

    Spoon EK9 springs

    I can highly recommend you to at least try the spoon springs.They're really great imo.Keep in mind Oem springs are all lineair in front and progressive in the rear.Spoons are a progressive kind ( dual rate lineair) .That 6.3K of the front spoons is a progressive rating ,and becomes stiffer...

    Ek aggressive Tarmac race setup

    Swapping the front upper control arms will increase the Caster from stock 1°40' to 2°40' .So you'll increase the caster by 1 degree and that is also the stock Max spec. If you're increasing caster i wouldn't run that much camber in the front .More Caster also increases the dynamic camber so...

    Dan from Amsterdam - Honda thread :)

    Dan , between bolt and subframe . That gauge looks great :nice: .From the looks of it the MG ZS uses EG/ITR style upper control arms and usdm lower control arms in the front.Are these different from stock EK arms in terms of geometry ?

    Dan from Amsterdam - Honda thread :)

    Thanks Dan ,i think i have around the same specs as you have now . Caster is around 3° , front camber 0°33' and rear 1°23' . Toe settings are also around the same values as close to Zero in front and a little open in the rear. Those RTA collars go into the 2 bolts of the rta bushing .Stiff...

    Dan from Amsterdam - Honda thread :)

    Hi Dan ,i've installed the "stiff ring" rigid collars and i instantly felt the difference on my ej9.They also have collars for the RTA bushings. What Caster /camber angle's do those MG ZS have stock ?Aren't they lower then a stock EK4 too ?

    Honda Civic Type R EK9 Turbo vrs. Nissan Skylines

    Going from the sound and the way it accelerates I think it's a B16B turbo with a recirclating Bov and some short gearing or oem gearbox.You can clearly hear a bov on the background everytime he shifts.The exhaust noise makes it difficult to hear but it's there.I don't think he's pushing a...
