December 7, 200421 yr Get these: KYB GR2 for XT 2WD 234029 and 234030 http://www.importperformance.com/store/234029 The XT struts are the shortest ones. Put an uprated spring on it, say the 250 lb 10 in tall ones im running...and whamo. 4WD struts are the tallest. 2WD sedan/wag/coupe being shorter...XT being shotest.
December 7, 200421 yr who needs coils anyways? I got no Honda either but man, the Brat sure looked pimpin!
December 8, 200421 yr or you go to the junkyard and get some 2wd xt struts for $20:banana: and score coilovers off ebay for $8..*double:banana: * and yes im slamming the coupe. pics next week
December 8, 200421 yr I like the idea of 2wd XT6 springs......mmmm 5-lug is coming soon!!! Hey Brad, what kind of coilovers did you get for 8 bucks?? I wanna know cause then hopefully I can get a set for the RX;)
December 8, 200421 yr heheh, heres what id do... install motor wich is too large for car. un crank rear torsion bars... blammo!
December 8, 200421 yr heheh, heres what id do... install motor wich is too large for car. un crank rear torsion bars... blammo!but EA82s don't have torsion bars
December 8, 200421 yr yar, thats why i referenced the hacksaw =] actualy none of my vehicles are lowered... im just here for fun.
December 9, 200421 yr yar, thats why i referenced the hacksaw =] actualy none of my vehicles are lowered... im just here for fun. Metal cut-off saw is faster, louder, and more fun!
December 9, 200421 yr Author no spring cutting...with a torch that is. Using a 'saw' action is ok...but still not recommended.
December 9, 200421 yr actualy, a hacksaw would probable take 30 minutes, and three blades. half a rung at a time is what i have heard to start with.
December 9, 200421 yr Author yeah, half a coil...and I ahve a portaband...takes about 5 mins to zip thru the thick spring steel. 2 mins on street springs.
December 9, 200421 yr meh coils, who needs them? Why would you cut them when you can just pull them out? I tend to use a cut off wheel, thats how I lowered the front of my '79 wagon and then cranked the torsions down in the rear. I said screw it with the Brat and pulled the coils out completly and cranked the torsions all the way down in the rear, pull some bumpstops and VOILA! lowered Br!z@t!!!

December 10, 200421 yr i'll vouch for that, no springs sucks, you cant launch off the line without catching air... thats with a good bit of horsepower tho. a brat with 75 hp might be ok...
December 10, 200421 yr i'll vouch for that, no springs sucks, you cant launch off the line without catching air... thats with a good bit of horsepower tho. a brat with 75 hp might be ok... yes but I was driving a Brat with ~110hp. Mmmmmm lovely JDM high compression EA71s with some work done to them. Made it real fun to drift in RWD;)
December 10, 200421 yr Something like this should do the trick Who makes those? Brand? Model number? Will they fit on Brats? Where can I get a set?
December 11, 200421 yr Author Purdeey. I'll have some Koni Double adjustable custom coilovers made at some point...and some pretty stiff springs too...
