Hi, I found two different part numbers on the JDM catalog: 52300-S04-N01 and 52300-S03-Zo1. Does anyonw know what is the difference between them? Here is the catalog, part number #5: http://jp-carparts.com/honda/partlist.php?maker=honda&type=CIVIC 3D&cartype=22854&fig=B&fig1=2900 Thanks!

Why don't you go through the EK9 and EJ9 parts catalogs and look out for any differences in the part numbers? I did this for an EG6 vs DC2 and found out some were indeed different.

Stupid me, according to this picture it looks like I'll be able to reuse the stock ones:

Can you please measure the front damper external diameter, here where the green line is? It would help me figuring out if the Meister brake line brackets would fit my Ohlins, which sadly didn't come with any... Thanks in advance!

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering how you could drive at 27/28, you'd be hitting the bump stops constantly. The hub on 4x100 Hondas is 56.1 mm in diameter, so you add half of that to you measurements you are within specs, if on the lower side of things. That helps explain how compliant you...

Thanks for sharing. Please check your measurements though. 27/28 cm is extremely low and outside the KW-recommended range, which is 30-33 cm in front and 31-34 cm in rear. The reason you don't feel the progressive spring rates is that they aren't really progressive. They are only a 2 stage...

I'll be interested to hear your impressions. Please do share them once you have the coilovers installed.

How much spring preload are you running? They are quite sensitive to that. If you decrease preload on the rear (i.e. lower the vehicle), ride quality will improve significantly. Does your front end bob up and down on the highway? Mine does. If you could give me your wheel hub center to fender...

AP is not the same company as AP Racing. AP is the budget range of KW.

Welcome aboard! :)

Welcome, that's one powerful EJ9!

初めましてよろしくお願いします。 Welcome aboard, you're very lucky!

Oh man, I just love EG6s. The prettiest Civic ever made IMHO. :nice:

Car - EK3 Suspension - Koni Sport dampers with Ground Control coilover sleeves, 66N/mm springs at the front, 44N/mm at the rear Anti roll bars - stock EK3 front, EK4 rear Comfort - Poor. Handling - Good. Price - ~$1000 USD. Summary - Good handling but after 2 years I'm getting tired of...
