Who has coilovers on their 09?
 
Hey, I'm curious to see what is out there in coilover land for our 09s. If you don't mind specifying if they are on daily drivers etc that would be great. Pics are great too.
Thanks for the ideas and sorry if there is already a post like this.

do you know when they are planning on releasing them and how much?

feared 07-28-2009 12:26 AM

uhhh probably in the next couple months. price should be in the same range as the ones out right now for the gd3, which got its release delayed. somewhere in the 900-1000 range im assuming.

Anyone hear anything about the HKS coilovers for GE8? The information on the HKS website is pretty sparse, and I don't see any mention of them on FF.

redrumm 09-02-2009 12:47 AM

its probably for JDM fits and would probably need to be modified

Stravos 09-02-2009 01:19 AM

It's on the US HKS site and Assaulttech is selling them, so I think they should fit...

HEARTBREAKING!!! ><

EDIT: The gap may look pretty big in the test fitting photos but those BBS were 15s :/ The wheel gap on my 17s are 1 finger in the front and 2 fingers in the rear :x

I believe tanabe has some good coilovers too

Lek 09-09-2009 08:14 AM

I am using BC Racing Coilovers, they are F4k/R5k. they hold the road good and are really firm.

Maybe F3k/R3k would be better for very rough roads.

I just heard from a sales rep today that Bilstein are releasing a setup in November for Thailand. I think they are the B14 model with 0/30mm drop. These should be perfect at $850 or so. They may already be available in the US and Europe.

clay7160 11-20-2009 01:07 AM

I spoke to Megan racing this week..their GE coilovers are due out before Christmas....

Bilstien Honda Jazz B14

clay7160 11-20-2009 11:13 AM

Just checked with Bilstein USA, East Branch, Keith said they were unable to get products from Asian market.....I would have liked to try them, a friend has a set on his Audi, they are superb...even though, I do not think they go low enough for my tastes from the pictures

clay7160 11-20-2009 11:15 AM

LAzY BoI .....How much more can you lower your HKS Hipermax Coilovers ?? or is that all the way down ?

feared 12-03-2009 06:45 PM

Tein just released new coilovers for the GE8,

Bilstiens lower from 0-30mm and Tein lower 25mm-50mm lower. There is also the option of BC, D2, Magan or Buddy Club Coilovers which lower 0-50mm.

clay7160 02-06-2010 02:47 AM

What he said ^ I would like to know if the teins drop as low...as D2's...cause I am not fond of them...

FitDEEZ 02-06-2010 02:59 AM

InitialDean has teins on his ge .. ask him if he can go lower on his set up .. the way it is in the pics he posted last..the silver ge on d2s is lower

clay7160 02-06-2010 04:05 AM

I did ask him, twice, he never replied....d2 does not post specs of drop...

nilly1010 02-06-2010 12:44 PM
