Drew888 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Konis (LGT donors) and Epic springs. Mike can you PM me a cost to copy this to my Spec-B? I'm finally too tired to keep my Tarmacs on as my commute suspension. Thanks!

mr.hicksta Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not available in my building. Lines never upgraded. DSL from ATT is all that is available. In reality the USA ranks something like 25th on the list of high speed access in developed nations. Because our infrastructure is old (and companies dont want to invest billions in upgrades) places in what used to be the USSR have 100+mbps upload and download speeds. They are doing full speed/real time video conferencing with zero lag at over 30fps in countries that barely have sewage treatment. While we get bent over for $100 a month and told that speeds up to 25mbps are lightning fast. It really is a joke. I pay $90 a month for 256kbps 'burst' speed internetz at the base I'm on in Iraq. I probably get $1.67 worth a month with all the outages. I'd take 25mbps in a frickin' damn heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Mike.. I spot those 08/09 GT rims in the pictures That guy ditched you! Sell them to me! $200 for the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Agreed on the Swifts. For you Drew, the Swifts would be a better fit. More agressive drop, and a stiffer spring. Super high quality. Rode them on my 5EAT for almost 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 $200 for the set. Save them for me until I do the 90k service for the MDX. I can send a deposit if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ok. Let me know when you want to bring in the MDX, so I have all the materials ready. Would prefer to use some OEM parts and I have an account at Honda in the Auto Park. Going by tomorrow for a timing chain tensioner for a 07 Civic. Damn thing was locked up and the chain was smacking the timing cover. Honda tried to sell the poor guy a new chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Looks like typical Subaru loose straps on the CV boot and it threw the grease. This is more normal than not on Subies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdarwin Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks Mike, there's no play on the wheel when I raised it up so I guess the bearings are safe....CV might crap out soon and im gonna have to set this up with you soon...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk6933 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Value your advice so thanks, I'll save up to go that route. So I'm guessing aroung $1200? I spent less than 700 for new Konis and used Swifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 I would say expect to pay about $1k. But there are internet whores out there that sell Konis below wholesale. So, you could search up a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brum Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I spent $900 on my Koni/Swift combo. If you've got the money to spare (I didn't) I would pick up some camber plates for the front and some different tophats for the rear with some adjustable camber bushing/bolts in the rear.

mk6933 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I went with used springs that's why mine was pretty cheap. Otherwise, expect to spend the amount Mike said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
