MK1 and MK2 exhasuts are different
-
Koni Yellows are not coilovers ... but merely stiffness adjustable shocks, not height adjustable shocks. Also, most Koni shocks will require you to remove the shock, before you can adjust the stiffness.
It you want a good ride (comfortable) then stick to the Koni + Eibach.
If you track your car often, then install the TRD coilovers. These offer height and stiffness adjustability, but are a little too stiff for normal street driving.
-
Just replace them although the manufacturer may say that the sparkplug can go up to 100,000 kms, i normally replace these every year.
You will really feel the difference!

or one of these? Fabulous

how about this kit
Veilside
-
PBR is the same as Axxis or Repco. They all get their pads from Bendix Australia.
I personally would go for the Mintex Red Box or Mintex M1144 for even better stopping power.
-
Check for worn balljoints and warped brake rotors ... these are one of the most common problems.

Was hit by a truck a few days ago.
The driver did not look out
Sooooo .... i should use this opportunity to redo my paint ... and get a nice bodykit
-
VW recently did a comparison compared a Touran with an experimental hybrid vs a CDI and the results were that the turbodiesel had a much better efficiency and better performance...
so the conclusion is ... if you can pick a turbodiesel ... it will be the better choice B)
-
The RX400h only makes sense if you do a lot of city miles ... A hybrid is only efficient when it makes many stops when it accumulates power...
-
To what i know ... the kit that you have and the Rotora are the same and are based on a brembo caliper design.
-
The kit that Paul has are the same calipers as the very popular Rotora calipers
-
There are still al lot of jzs147/mk1 shocks, springs, and coilovers available ...
What parts are you looking for?
-
Note that the drop of lowering springs is just for reference only, actual drop may differ. Also the drop will depend on what lowering springs you are using.
-
the IS300 shocks and springs will work on an IS200 or Altezza. However, the drop may be a little less, since the IS300 is more head heavy ...
-
I would go for coilovers as well. Since your stock shocks have been used for quite a while i guess, putting lowering springs on will shorten the shock life a lot.
-
That's a lot of stuff!!!
Send me a pm with your phone no and email, perhaps i can arrange something
-
These hybrids are a nice new technology, but will only be efficient in city traffic. On the highway... hybrids are not much more fuel efficient.
-
I have seen modded versions of the LS430 and they look sooooo good.
It is that these cars are too expensive otherwise i would go for one myself
Movie :P

Hi ...what year is your GS?
It may be time for new shocks ...
In addition, adding a strut brace will stiffen up a lot.
-
why do you want new dust shields? Just stick with the stock ones.
-
Why should you do that?
There are some some ones that are made for the 1stGen GS, although these are a bit difficult to find
-
These are just universal mufflers which are produced in China.
No testing have been likely performed for the GS or Aristo, so performance will likely be worse than the original mufflers.
Also expect these to be very loud, a reduced torque at lower revs, and higher fuel consumption...
And ... also expect to see Civic ricers with the same backbox
