I went ahead and bought the Koni sleeve kit to go along with the shocks. I currently have one of the DFW Prelude guys fabbing me up a set of spring isolators to go on top of the spring. No one offers aftermarket top hats for the Prelude, so you must use the factory ones. The factory rubbers tear and if I would have gone with Ground Control, their polyurethane ones tear as well. So this should cover that. As for springs, I went off the DFW guys suggestion to get Hypercoil. Regardless of his suggestion, I was going to go with Eibachs, until I found pairs of used 850, 900, 950, and 1000 lbs Hypercoil springs on eBay. Before you say I am an idiot, I paid $120 for all of them shipped and they are coming from Lock Race Works in Georgia. http://www.lockraceworks.com/index.html If any of you are thinking of trying new springs out. Do an eBay search for either lockraceworks or the spring (ex. eibach race spring). They have used Eibachs for around $32 each. _________________ Ball Bone Site Admin Joined: 14 Jan 2003 Posts: 459728 Location: Texas Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 12:00 pm    Post subject: Hypercoil is a good spring, just not as common as Eibach Race Springs are with amateurs. Those shocks aren't being shortened? The DFW guy can't fab up some modified OEM top hats? _________________ BobbyKetchum.com da blog vansprinkle Moderator Joined: 19 Jun 2003 Posts: 2472 Location: Houston Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:54 pm    Post subject: Bone wrote: Hypercoil is a good spring, just not as common as Eibach Race Springs are with amateurs.

The DFW guy can't fab up some modified OEM top hats? the fronts were shortened, and he probably could make top hats, I would just assume that would take a lot more time. you may know him, Billy Howell in the white H2 Prelude. _________________ Ball Bone Site Admin Joined: 14 Jan 2003 Posts: 459728 Location: Texas Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:53 pm    Post subject: You wouldn't want top hats if the shocks are shortened, anyway. Oh, and I try to avoid those Prelude guys. They're a little if ya know what I mean. _________________ BobbyKetchum.com da blog Blinky Moderator Joined: 17 Jan 2003 Posts: 1781 Location: Houston, Texas Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:54 pm    Post subject: +1 _________________ 2006 A-Spec Acura TL Navi 6MT (It's that woo woo) Spike Site Admin Joined: 14 Jan 2003 Posts: 16777215 Location: Houston Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:57 pm    Post subject: Not nearly as as those TL people though... http://www.gayfamilysupport.com/gay-pride-video/video_D1cIbnPT-nI.html _________________ I am Spike Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  All times are GMT - 6 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Technical Forums----------------General TechEngine and TransmissionWheels, Brakes and Suspension General Forums----------------Get HazedPhoto GalleryMeets and StuffCar Meets and Racing Events Other Stuff----------------Random NonsenseYouTube and Web MediaClassifiedsWebsite Updates and Suggestions  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum
