So which one of the 3 is appropriate for me nighthawk ? Street & track usage

 

The eccentric stuff that are offset and not centered can help give you some caster, or camber depending on how they are installed into the arm. You must make sure if you buy those, you have a professional know what they are doing with allignment install it.

You choose between eccentric, or centered. That's the choice you make. I chose eccentric because I'm using it to get a tad bit more posi caster.

 

@nighthawk04v6: Thanks for clarifying. Were you the one who swapped out the Accord LCAs for TL pieces?

I'm interested to see how these poly pieces work out.

 

Super Pro Told me this, after telling em I tend to drive aggressive on street and also will be using car on drag strip. They also know that I'm on lowered suspension of shocks n springs, 2.0 in front & 1.5 in rear. This is after telling em i wanted the 2945k. SuperPro answered the following:

"Jason use SPF2947K instead of (SPF2945K & SPF2946K) SPF2947K is double offset which will increase caster and anti-dive, therefore better traction. "

 

he said exactly what I said. But make sure whoever installs it for you knows their sh*t. If they press the offset compliance bushing in the wrong way, you will have the wrong ideal suspension geometry. There's a proper way to set it.

 

do you have access to a heavy duty press, and press hardware to press these bushings in and out?

 

Yes sir

Will you please take some pics of everything once you get them installed in the arms, but before mounting on the car?

Ill think about it








j/k sure, i always take pics

i still havnt found anyone willing to even make an effort to order them for me :angry:

the website is down... do you happen to have a way i can contact them and place an order? BTW, thanks!

I gotchu, i will send my guy to you, Just let me get your email.
Im realizing now that the website would probably cost even more, guy is pretty smooth & prompt

^^ both of u guys should've gotten an email today from Amir

 

Hey thanks man yeah he reached out. I am actually not too far from where he is located so I'm going to see if I can pick these up in person.

 

Any updates?

These "Traction Balls" were mentioned on Acurazine: Hella Cheap Traction Ball Upgrade - 8th Generation Honda Civic Forum. Someone claimed that the 8G or 9G Civic pieces may fit in our LCAs.

 

I have been in touch with this guy Armin, and he states that Superpro is having a manufacturing delay and he will get back to me as soon as he can. This last email was two days ago. Hopefully this guy is legit because I want those Compliance bushings

 

Same story here

 

Well, luckily for me I'm not planning on installing them on my car for a couple months. I just hope they are worth the money and the wait (they don't crack, squeak, etc).

 

ill be installing mine ASAP, since my passenger side one is pretty much non existent, and the drivers side is getting close to touching the frame.

i will make a how to, and do an evaluation after its all said and done.

 

Sweeet :up:

 

Here's Full-Race "traction balls" for the Civic, which are actually spherical bearings: Full-Race Traction Ball for 2006+ Civics!! - Honda-Tech.

 

if the poly ones i get ever wear out, i will switch to these... lol

 

Not for my car lol... Those things will break you on NYC streets.

 

I'm curious about the durability of the spherical bearings in everyday driving and during winter conditions. I think I've seen rubber boots on spherical bearings before. It seems like it would be good idea for something that sits horizontal like that.

I'm pretty sure the Civic parts won't be compatible. Full-Race would have to design new Accord/TSX parts.

 

I just got an email from Amir stating that Superpro has shipped the bushings out and Amir should have them by Friday

 

Same here, the latest by Friday

 

Yeah thanks again

 

Mines was shipped today

 

Did you guys give him your credit card info or did you paypal?

 

Card info, he didn't charge it till literally right before shipping

 

Ok thanks. I was going to take the 40 min drive and pick the bushings up, but I'm going to end up having him ship it. Its easier for me that way. Comes out to like $177 shipped right?

 

ill be paying for mine tomorrow and paying with paypal. looks like you guys will see them before me.

 

I haven't paid yet^... Did you tell him you want to do paypal? What was his response? Because he just asked me for my card info.

 

I just paid him via paypal. He should be shipping my bushings out before the day is over I recken'.

 

got mine in the mail today... hope to have time this weekend to install them. my buddy is leaving for iraq again, so i will be trying to hang out with him for his final weekend here.

 

Got mine in the mail too... But I'm not installing mine for a couple months.... I'm excited for your review though!

 

okay, so ive been emailing back n forth with SuperPro about the instructions...

i actually had them revise the directions, and they might be doing another revision as well.
If the final revision is complete, i will post the finalized instructions on this thread and on my how to remove/ install thread when i create it.

 

Ok cool. I figured you just put the grease on the tube, put the tube through the big bushing, and place the smaller ones on the top and bottom.... I am sure it can be more intricate though.

 

the ones i have (and i believe Jiga has) are designed to change caster settings. the instructions dont really state how to increase caster for both sides... also the instructions are for a RHD accord so they are actually backwards :bonk:

they should get back to me tomorrow.
