Anyone riding on this suspenion

is it any good....and is it worth the money???

Suspension.

It's a mild drop on shocks that are near stock replacement. The parts are well matched, and it's much better than slamming your car on stock shocks... but it's not much of a performance setup at all. The good thing is that with a mild drop, you won't really need a camber kit. Just a good alignment.

If you want something good, get some H&R or Neuspeed springs, and Koni shocks. The Neuspeed "Cup Kit" is a very good choice.

not looking for performance more lookin for appearence and to get rid of that dam wheel well gap i hate it and i want to get rid of it maybe later in life i will get performance
suspension.....so is this a decent suspension and is it worth it

[Hondalover]

Honestly those probably wouldn't even get rid of the gap. and they seem overpriced to me. If I were you I would save up a few more hundred and get some KYB AGX shocks or some Koni Yellow shocks and get some coilover springs for them.

[deevergote]

KYB AGX aren't made for anything more than a 1.5" drop as well.


To be quite honest, if you want a drop that you'll actually notice, you're going to have to get shocks that can handle it. Otherwise, your car will be dangerous to drive. I suggest Koni STR-T shocks, paired with either H&R Sport springs (my favorite stance was on these), or H&R Race springs (I have those now, and it's a bit low for my liking).

sorry for asking deev but where did you get your set up from cause i going with you you know alot more on suspenion than me.... also what is a decent camber kit.....?

[HardInThePaint]

He's prolly gonna tell u to hit up neuspeed.com for the STR.T Konis. Those H&R springs u could get off Ebay all day long. And the camber kit, I'm sure he'll suggest the TAS Auto complete UCA/balljoint kit. Other than that u could go with Ingalls or SPC kit, ball joint or anchor bolt style.

[deevergote]

Right. Neuspeed.com is the best place for the Konis, and Neuspeed springs are so similar to H&R springs that I'd suggest getting your springs from them as well.

Personally, I got BOTH of my suspension setups from CB7tuner members...

[CB7 R3ason]

thanks for the advice and help.... ah quick question why is it that lowering springs drop the car lower in the front than in the back???? Also with this suspenion that im about to buy do u think i will need the camber right away.....?

[deevergote]

I have no idea why they drop the front lower... I've always wondered that myself.


As for needing the camber kit (camber itself is merely an angle), yes... you would want to get that right away, and have your wheels aligned. Otherwise, you're going to destroy your tires very quickly.

I had a cheap camber kit break on me (note: don't ever buy a cheap camber kit! Ingalls or SPC ONLY!), and I put the stock parts back in. I never re-aligned the wheels. My brand new Falken Ziex 512 tires were showing belts in 6,000 miles.

The lower front evens out the fender/tire gap between the front and rear. Which is usually bigger in the front especially on fwd cars. Not to mention gives a better stance.

[203CB7TUNER]

yea..i looking to buy i sexy stance setup up myself..

one thing i am still questioning is the lower sway bar and control arm setup that cant go past the limits(when needed)

thanks for the info probably going to buy it peice by peice question click on my MR take alook at my rims have you ever seen them before???

lower front relative to back either adds to downforce on the car at high speeds or reduces drag.

unless someone is running their cb7 on a track at 150 mph this would be totally irrelevant to anything, but I guess people think it looks cool, kind of like adding wings on the back of your car.
