    Nice pics! Nice your able to meet up with another forum member and chat about cars etc over a cuppa! Incidentally, does Eunos have lowered suspension compared to yours? Looks lower if still on standard set up

    Nice one mate, looks nice! Should be the 1st mods on these cars. Gotta have good feel as 100% of driving is done by that item!

    Nice DIY job then if only took an hour! Im buying Bilstein B8 shocks for mine, rears are leaking so time for upgrade (no coilovers for me). Already bought Eibach Pro Sport springs as well to go on ;) Still loving my beemer!

    Spring pre-load mate. I can't remember exactly, but fairly sure that if you make spring longer (turn spring nut downwards) it softens spring but actually lowers it I'm sure. I was surprised when it happened. So you may need to raise it again once spring is 'unloaded' slightly. Strange for water ingress mate during the wash!

    Ive always been into cars when younger but my dad was never good with fixing them, only driving them fast etc! That's what got me hooked also! You can adjust the actual spring to make softer/higher if you wanted. The added benefits of being totally adjustable. Nut under spring. Done that with my civic, tinkered until i got my perfect setup. Im sure a garage that knows suspension will be able to do this....i certainly learnt alot through a decent garage (took me three attempts to find one that knew what they were doing). I dont see how DD can be bottoming out on certain roads, my civic was low but never really scrapped the road, except the undertray, on memorial run up that mountain as an example. Just take the slight scraping as part of the modification world, im sure the damage would be minimal. If you seriously cant handle it (being old and brittal...you not the car) then choose decent roads!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice that DD has been oot again! Calipers are the scurge of Honda My Accord sat for 10 days and o/s/f caliper sticking slightly. Freed off and all ok. But i had washed the car then parked it up for the 10 days so that was likely the reason. Still pish. Back driving it until sold to keep 'fresh'. My dad ain't complaining as he has my BMW! (my dad is 72 and a petrol/diesel head) Ref coilovers on DD. Standard suspension is just too crappy IMO. Raise her again slightly and find the happy medium. Even raise to standard height and stiffen to give some feel at least? Shame to de-modify her just for a few scrapes during a few hundred miles a year.....just my 2p worth!
