Thread: Need help with new setup

Have Ksport coilovers right now, I want to go back to strut/shock combo:
1) im sure these wont last forever (heard bad things)
2) they dont offer the best ride as a DD
3) the travel on the suspension is none existant

So I want something that is a great balance to DD and still have excellant handling and put down the power im making.
I dont have any of the OEM stuff, so if anyone can make me a list of what I need and the recommended setup to go with.
Im going to keep rocking the ksports until I can piece together another setup.
Thanks

KYB AGXs with Road Magnets. Get them from RobChaos BNIB and you will not be sorry.

that doesnt tell me if they come with the top mount if i got the KYB AGXs with Road Magnets

You will have to buy top mounts and bump stops. You can get both at any auto parts store or online store.

Read the suspension thread and let us know if you have any more questions.

i dunno if they are made for the b13, im just starting to look, but i used to LOVE my koni RSK setup on my old DD honda

If you pick up springs and struts, you're also going to need a whole bunch of other things if you want it to be done right. There was an image posted I'm too lazy to find that had all of the pieces shown in a diagram.

I recall doing mine recently so I can clue you in on what you'll need for a completely new suspension. From front to back, top to bottom.

Two front top spring perches (Contains studs. The top hat mounts between it and the strut tower. It retains the top of the spring)
Two front top hats (Incorporates a rubber bushing. Left and right are not interchangeable)
Two front spring perch/spring insulators (rubber pieces that rest between the spring and the spring perch)
Two strut nuts and maybe washers(?) (Hold the top hats down on the strut)
Two front strut bearings (allowing the struts to rotate as you turn the steering wheel)
Two front springs (obviously)
Two front struts (obviously)
Two front strut shaft dust boots (get the ones with the removable bump stops)
Two front bump stops of your choosing (OEM dust boots come with them)
Two front lower spring insulators (rubber piece between spring and lower spring seat)

Two rear top spring perches (Contains studs. The top hat mounts between it and the strut tower. It retains the top of the spring)
Two rear top hats (Incorporates a rubber bushing. Left and right are not interchangeable)
Two rear spring perch/spring insulators (rubber pieces that rest between the spring and the spring perch)
Two strut nuts and maybe washers(?) (Hold the top hats down on the strut)
Two rear springs (obviously)
Two rear struts (obviously)
Two rear strut shaft dust boots (get the ones with the removable bump stops)
Two rear bump stops of your choosing (OEM dust boots come with them)
Two rear lower spring insulators (rubber piece between spring and lower spring seat)

Here is a picture of my stuff. Everything here you'll need. This picture does not include the upper strut washers/nuts, the upper bearings for the front (I should have bought these new!), and the top hat mounting rings.


Here's a picture of the top showing the top hat mounting situation that isn't clear in the first picture.

Thank you!

pic is not working tho
