BC RACING COILOVERS INSTALL CIVIC EG 

That’s really nice of you to say Will. For real, thank you man! I enjoy what I am doing and happy that translastes on screen. I’m really looking forward to finishing a few pieces I have to do on the suspension, getting this thing aligned, then getting back out on track. I want to drive this thing already! Haha

Are you also running bc?

Yeah, I see what you mean. It's ok to adjust the pre-load side but for continuities sake, yes, I need to even that back out so the pre-load is the same on both sides for the rears. The front's were done the by loosening the bottom ring. Good eye man!

Yeah i think you’re right, on the R/R he adjusted the spring compression and on the L/R he adjusted the actual height but spring compression is going to be different, idk if i explain myself, but yeah you do need to adjust the height the same way on both sides, i wish i had a garage to work on cars :( good videos man

wrong pre load is not necessary take it from guys who own at time attack ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jjsocJxdlYA.html

I literally started screaming at the screen, "Noooooooo, not that one!!!" Lmao Suspension adjustments are killer

So about the pre load thing. The mistake I made when raising the car right rear was that I was adjusting it from the spring seat collar where I should have adjusted it from the locking collar right beneath the spring seat. When the coilover is in the car, the BC instructions say to use the locking collar that is right beneath the spring seat collar to raise it. If I needed to lower it, then I would have used the locking collar to spin it. I got those two mixed up in the process. I know you guys think I was just pre loading the spring and I can understand why because there isn’t a clip just sitting on that part showing everything spin. The entire shock body was spinning though, not just the spring. Yes, the locking ring that sits up against the spring seat moved so it’s possible that I did put a bit of pre load in. So I will have to check that. I did make that mistake. But I don’t think it’s as dramatic as you are thinking it is. I’m just going to measure the right rear and compare it to the left rear and adjust it back as necessary.

Thanks Juan!

Thanks a lot man. It’s been big hep from RHD Performance for sure!

Thanks a lot Ted! Dude for real, it’s getting so close to the point where I can actually drive my car again so I am itching to get it all aligned. Yep, I’m a lowered cool kid now! Haha

Yeah, thanks for that advice Jack

Thanks Nick! I had fun making those clips. The shirt I’m wearing is one I designed for Eeffect Apparel. It’s our Civic Generations shirt. Check it out www.eeffectapparel.com/product/honda-civic-generations/

Refine Movement I was wondering what shirt it was too because I have a 1974 (first gen) Civic and there aren’t a lot of shirts with one of those on it You can follow the build on Instagram @74k_civic 😁

Thanks man! I try to pay attention to making things steady more now. Appreciate you watching through all these videos!

Hey I hear you man and I sure appreciate the encouragement. Believe me, that’s what I want too. I don’t feel bad about freshening things up on my car while I was waiting for these coilovers, but not that I have them I’m ready to get back out there

and please torque your wheel bearings

They sure look good!

Yeah, it'd be cool for sure. That'll come later though. I want to drive the car with no aero first

Haha!

Sorry man but I don’t think I’ll be able to help you here. My car doesn’t have anything under the dash so I don’t know if the eg ever came with one. My car is a cx as well so I’d say it’s least likely it would have one. I would assume the newer car, the 02 or 04 would have it though since standards are usually raised over generations of a car. If the cabin air system is the only reason you’d buy one car over another I’d always go with the newer car

Got yeah. Thanks for the reply. I have always wanted an EG 92-93, but just can't give up the cabin filter LOL.

For real man! I always thought it looked low when I put it back on the ground even at stock ride height lol. It sat up on the jackstands so long making it look higher than it really was. Now with lowering the car, wow, I’m in love with the look!

Refine Movement well looks great man, one day we have to meet up, when it gets cooler out no A/C in my car lol.

Yeah I’ll get to another engine series some day. For me, I’m still learning how to drive this car on track in anger. Even though it’s a low powered car there’s still plenty for me to learn considering I’m still very new at this. More power eventually. As far as the interior, yeah, I for sure have a nice bucket seat with the harness on the list and a better feeling steering wheel. I’d like to do a roll cage as well for peace of mind.

Refine Movement Nice. I totally understand. Also don't need high hp to have fun. I'm 18 and now I'm getting my driving lisence and my dream(since I can remember myself..4 yo) is to build a racecar. Not an expensive one. I don't need that. I wanna buy a honda civic eg or ek , or a peugeot 206 to start have fun with cars and build it around 180-200 hp. It's enough for a person to have fun at track I think. Good handling , nice exterior ,racing interior and it's all someone wants. My opinion.

That’s great man! I’m happy for you that you got them on and have driven on track as well as the street. I have 10k front and 5k rear on my red hatch and I for sure felt the positive difference as well. I’m really excited to see how these stiffer springs do with this lighter car. What’s crazy is I feel like 14k front is still somewhat conservative. I’ve seen the a fair amount of these 90’s Honda’s that are dedicated track cars on 20k front springs and 16k rear!

Are you running swift spring as well and how does it ride?

I haven’t driven the car in anger yet to be able to give my opinion man. I think either will be awesome from my limited knowledge on the subject. Your cars weight Would have a role in what springs you pick in my opinion.

5x114.3 won’t fit a stock civic. That the bolt patterns spacing. You’ll want 4x100

As for the wheel fitment, depends on the size(height and width) the offset and how low you car is.

The coilovers don’t interfere with the brakes. The important question they have is does your car have the rear fork style lower control arm or is it the rear eyelet type. That determines the coilovers mounting points for the rear

Well I went with BC so that’s what I’d pick lol

Thanks Brian! No, no scar haha. I had a mean pimple that day. Maybe I’ll stop getting those when I’m dead haha

Refine Movement sorry for the random question haha to be honest I was never really into the Honda scene but seeing your build is inspiring me to build one of my own

Fork or eyelet style refers to your rear lower control arms. Fork style is more common I would think where the coilover actually sits over the lower control arm like a fork. The two prongs of the coilover go around the lca and the bolt goes through. Eyelet style is more like Type R stock stuff where the coilover sits in a "cup" so to speak inside the rear lower control arm

@@RefineMovement yea I figured that out after I asked you.. thanks keep up the great work on that EG..

Would look cool!

Well I actually haven’t tried out the BC properly just yet. Both coilovers share the same basic design. It’s really going to come down to spring rates. I use my ksports on my daily so the spring rates aren’t as aggressive as the BC setup I got. The two cars serve two different purposes so it’s not really a straightforward comparison between the two sets of spring rates. I’ll for sure give my thoughts on the spring rates I’ve chosen on the BC coils after I’ve tracked the car again though!

Haha thanks a lot Alex! It’s an overnight, year long success haha. Sure feels like it’s a long time coming but I’m ok with that. I like enjoying this time of transforming this bucket

Yeah know the feeling. New house is almost done, which means my 1.5 year transformation might be back on the road soon. And like you I am collecting dead engines lol

Oh nice Alex! Good for you man. And lol I know the feeling about collecting dead engines. Sorry to hear you are having that trouble as well but man keep them until you get your car back together. I’ve robbed parts from my other two, hopefully yours could still help you out some way

Yeah got 1 loom and some ancilleries to switch over. My broken B16a2 is getting a turbo i have laying around straped to it now, and I have a B16a for the time being to get to track days. Just need to fit it. And like you getting quite swifty with the change process :)

I guess it depends on what your definition of fanny about is haha. I'd get a new clutch and flywheel while your old motor is out. Since your new motor came off an automatic car you may need to remove the automatic transmission plate that may have come with it. I'd also replace the rear main engine oil seal on the new block before putting it back in. Other than that it sounds like its just put the new longblock in. Everything else in your bay stays the same.

Refine Movement I'm getting a wuuring noise I can only guess is the crank bearings going as it's at 135 thousand miles and been hammered. So I just wanted to swap for the auto block as it's the only one I could find with just 58 thousand miles. While I have the engine out I wanted to replace all gaskets water pump and timing kit so I should be trouble free for a while...can you suggest the best things to do while I have the engine out?

15’s

I have the p28 ecu

christopher james bellhouse swap maybe? No idea

I’ll be driving the car in some videos to come, just may take a few weeks

Thanks! I'm excited

Refine Movement Thanks. 👍

No, BC Racing specializes in it. Check out their site through the link in the description box. You can pick the spring rates and they build the coilover to match those rates.

Refine Movement I am eu based so I have to go through bc Europe which I cannot find the custom section

Send Thierry of RHD Performance an email or a message on Instagram @rhd_performance. I put the link to RHD Performance website in the description box of this video. I’m sure Thierry can at least get you the info about how he could help you or find out if you can get BC custom coilovers over there

Yeah, it would be a nice upgrade at some point. I don’t feel the need for bigger brakes at the moment though so I was ok with skipping it this time. It won’t be the last time these spindles come off I’m sure

haha yeah i told myself the same thing! ended up cooking my rotors bright blue on my first trackday. couple weeks later found some integra spindles for $75 then i put some stop tech rotors with project mu pads, what a difference! anyway the builds are both great and im enjoying the content! keep up the good work!

Oh wow haha! You’ve got a heavy braking foot huh? Maybe the track you drive is heavy on brakes. I’ve done two track days on stock rotors and calipers, just Hawk hp+ pads and have had no issue. The upgraded stuff sounds real nice thoug. It’s on my list of things to get for some point, but I just don’t see it as a priority at the moment since the Civic brakes are giving me plenty of confidence

949 Racing 6UL’s 15x8 +36 offset. I love them!

Yeah I’d like to

Nvr mind lol
