what is brake sttter stop method? I know you can buy that orange/blue paste you put between the pad and the caliper... or get some anti noise shims.

 

I meant stutter. Where you do stops from increasing speed to a roll to uniformly break in the surface of the pad. Im running crappy snew stock pads now and may just shell out the dough for AEM's or somthing. I am using that grease stuff. Argh my car is pissing me off now its throwing a code.

 

On modacar.com, they have Skunk2 adjustable coilovers and adjustable springs, with the same descrition and pics...so what's the difference?

CivicSIRacer:
Why do you recommend the Limited Edition GC's? And what's the difference between them and the regular GC's?

Besides price, any reason to choose Eibach Sportline's or Neuspeed Sports over coilovers?

Sorry if these are repetitive or stupid. I thought I knew what I was looking for, but now my mind keeps flip-flopping and I just want to hear opinions from people who've been there making the same decisions, not some store clerk making a quick buck off me.

Thanks again.

 

I (and probably most folks on this board) didn't know that Skunk2 offered various different spring rates for their coilovers. That is one of the main reasons why they suggest the Ground Controls over the Skunks.

Another is that Ground Controls' springs are made by Eibach, a reputable company known for making high quality springs.

The reason why some suggest the Eibachs or the Neuspeeds is because if you don't really need the height adjustability, progressively wound lowering springs (as opposed to linear) offer near stock ride (not as bouncy or harsh) compared to coilovers that are pretty harsh even though you don't lower the car much.

 

It should be said that the main benefit to height adjustable coilovers isn't supposed to be raising and lowering them all the time. It's being able to corner weight the car more easily. Once you've got your car at the proper height with the weight at each corner properly distributed, you really don't need to mess with them much more until your needs change. It's kind of a "set it and forget it" kind of deal.

One reason springs are nicer than coilovers is that you can still use the stock dust covers.

A cheap combo that should work out fine is a Tokico Advanced Handling Package (I'm not sure if that's exactly what it's called) which includes Tokico springs (1.5" drop) with Tokico HP's (blues). The combo only costs around $350 if I'm not mistaken and you can be sure that the springs and shocks should work well together since they're by the same company. I also agree with many of the other suggestions everyone else has given.

 

The limited editions are a lower spring rate (softer) than the ones you can custom order. Don't know the exact numbers but they are more comfortable ride than what I have Mine is on the verge of being too rough for PA roads.

No question is stupid that is why we are all here to help each other. I was a newbie once and everyone here helped me out alot
