civic si lowering springs.

[Winnn420]

He told me they're about to install a set on someone's car but they're not quite ready to sell. As soon as he has them available I'll order a set.

This may be a stupid question but are the springs on a sedan vs the coupe different, I know the weights are similar. Road magnet's website doesn't give you an option between the two but I know H&R lists them separately, or they at least have a different part # for the sedan & coupe, road magnet's website just says 2012 Si springs.

the 8th generation had a difference between the coupe/sedan. The 9th - the weights are almost identical between coupe/sedan. Road magnet is the only company I know of that actually has a lowering springs you can actually buy right now. The others that are showing on websites are in development at this point... like h&r. I've not seen anything on spring rate differences between the two though. I don't know what they'll do.

Yea that's what I read, that Fox used the road magnets on that blue coupe. Well I went ahead and ordered a set, gloss black, so we'll see how fast they ship em out. I'll get em mounted the day I get em mounted as soon as they show up...I'll just order a set of coilovers once they're available and sell the road magnets

Im sure they'll work fine, Road Magent is a 45min drive for me lol ,want to see a coupe lowered...

 

[Winnn420]

Lol...yea I would actually so I'll know what mine will look like (considering its tough to tell looking at one with rolled fenders, body kit & 20's) though I already ordered them so I guess I'll see it in person soon enough

not sure if you're installing them yourself, but if you are -

No a local shop will be installing them for me but I can take a bunch of pics while they're doing it, just for info since obviously not DIY. They're looking forward to working on their first 9th gen...

Anyone else notice the fox marketing Si is missing the drivers side fog light? I wonder if it went to SEMA like that

 

[webby]

any pics would be awesome. The fog is missing because the intercooler piping from the turbo setup runs behind that side. There isn't room to keep the fog the way they did it.

 

[Winnn420]

Ahh, you would think they would remove the passenger side too...I'll take a bunch of pics of the springs being installed.

This is by far the newest car I've ever lowered, 186 miles & counting...

 

[Winnn420]

well the springs will be here Monday...now I just need to buy another civic to install them on...airbags did a great job of protecting me, just a slightly injured wrist

 

[Winnn420]

The other driver (ford explored in the background of 2nd pic) was 100% at fault, blew a red light...he admitted his fault to the police & has insurance so it should be resolved pretty quick...fingers crossed.

I almost broke 400 miles before totalling it!

 

[webby]

ughhh that's horrible to see. Man... 400 miles. At least it did it's job protecting you. Really sucks to see those pics. Keep us posted as to how things go with insurance.

 

[Winnn420]

will do...it'll be fine either way. I have progressive and they're always good to work with. They'll most likely pay it off and then collect their money through subrogation from the other carrier.

All I know is the soreness is starting to set in, it happened about 5 hours ago and I felt nothing on scene, now I feel like I've been in an accident

 

[webby]

you know how fast you guys were going during the collision? I'd advise taking some form of pain killer, as you're going to probably have soreness increase over the next 24hrs. I recall seatbelt marks showing up the next day with bruising...along with stiffness.

 

[Winnn420]

I was going about 35-40...He was going at least 45, maybe a little faster, if he had broadsided me instead of the other way around I have no doubt I'd be in the hospital right now.

I'm feeling it in my neck and shoulders so far. I was in a major rollover years ago and the next day was by far much worse than the day of the accident, I couldn't even get out of bed.

Man I'm so glad you're okay!! That sucks
