[really jealous]


congrats and happy birthday! :D

DAMN, happy birthday baller! LOL. =]]]

Ya, I'm very excited about these. I have been looking for suspension for a while. My wife called the local honda dealership where I bought my fit and talked to a mechanic who suggested the sport suspension to her.

She bought them from King and they told her that they don't need any mods to fit. Is that true?

i'm not entirely sure. you should send a PM to SHG_Mike, he's running the mugen dampers as well


damn you, i get so jealous every time i get back in this thread... i'm out of here :p
(good luck with the installation)

whoa!! happy birthday and good luck with the installation.

birthday rep!!

I just talked to King and they said it as a direct bolt on deal. Maybe they made the mod before they sent them out. I know it has something to do with the bolt size for the front shocks.

I know SHG_Mike had to modify or drill out the holes slightly. I read somewhere on the forums that King made these modifications before they go out. I know they modify mugen headers to fit the Prelude.

king motorsports modifies the top threads so that they are 17mm instead of the jdm 19mm.

you dont need to drill out anything. :D

b-day for the car or you? :p

damn thats awesome! lucky you!

That is a nice gift indeed!

I'll take some before and after pics as a reference for all those wondering about the difference in ride height from stock to mugen.

I have a 2008 Mugen catalogue and it states a 20mm or .78 inch drop. I think it's going to look good with my HFP wheels.

Do you mean the bolt that comes off of the top of the shock or am I missing something?

OK now I'm confused. This is what SHG_Mike wrote

I did not ride with the full mugen kit however I've ridden in my car and my gf who has just the mugen springs. If you've ever ridden in a car with hfp suspension its very similar to that

i would listen to shg_mike cause he has actually installed these before.

im just relaying information that i have been told.

I found out on Friday that King didn't make the mods that need to be made. I'm sending them back to let them mod them so I don't void any warrantees.

They said thy would give me a t-shirt.

I learn something new on fit freak every day, O yeah happy B-day you lucky B@$T3rD

post pics when you finally get em installed! :hyper:

yup he's got the dampers and i got the springs.

lammee, i'm at school so i can't see the pics :/
