Koni Sport Spring on Civic ET2.0 : Part ll

For 2 days I've to bear with those 'noise' created every time i turn the steering . Huhh ! ...

Today , i'm meeting with a mechanic , who's recommended by Mr Big boss , the Eastern teames mod. The mechanic boss is friendly , easy going and very good at his works . First impression , with a slight turn and by one squeaking sound, he already knows the exact problem , diagnosed it confidently ; its due to wrongly placed spring and absorber . We spent nearly 3 hours there , the mechanic boss did it personally , to realign it one by one according to the original marking spot.

It was worth it , He really got it done . During the test run , the sound disappears .. plus the steering felt smoother than ever . Finally ..


Front spring to compare ; the original on right , Koni is on left .. the bright blue color .


Koni rear spring in its positions ..


The front Koni spring , got clear rubber hose on one ends to prevent spring knocking sound .

Overall , i pretty much satisfy and its perform at my expectation . The comfort level pretty much maintain , quite hard to differ from stock one . Even my wife and brother felt the same . Maybe a lil bit bumpy la , but its acceptable . Both of them agrees . Cornering improve . The most favorable part is how it lowered the ride . For front wheel , it lowered by 3 fingers making it only permits 1 finger btwn upper fender to tire surface . For rear , it lowered by 1 finger which is now only permit 2 finger tight btwn fender and tire . Even by this , carrying full loaded 4 adult passenger is not a problem .
