Title: My new mod, but not really Post by: stirfriedferret on March 12, 2010, 01:01:29 PM (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/K24A8/DSC_0038.jpg)
Did this happen intentionally ? Or was it an accident ? You tell me. I'll tell you after a few posts. :) And some recent pics of my friend's car (not honda safe); (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/Cars/DSC_0047.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/Cars/DSC_0051.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/Cars/DSC_0054.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/Cars/DSC_0068.jpg) Driving a built camaro; sorta looks like that ^ when you're riding shotgun. Also, I apologize for not being so active lately. Forgive me for having the wrong birth date on my profile. I didn't realize until some people personally contacted me and told me about it. My birthday was actually on Feb. 3. I was way past 21 on March 3rd. I've been way busy with school and trying to fix my benz, so again, my apologies. Here's some pics of that thing (camera phone); (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/S124/Photo0030.jpg) (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/beretta22789/S124/Photo0029.jpg) Title: Re: My new mod, but not really Post by: slipkord on March 12, 2010, 01:29:41 PM You have more pics of the camaro/benz than your honda...that's blasphemy! Looks low....I like it.

So, the story on the accord is that the spring perch clip (only used on Koni yellows for height adjustability) bent as a result of a big dip on the freeway and my blown struts. The perch then fell through and ended up sitting on top of the upper A arm. More pics:

Their design is terrible in this regard. Not safe at all.

Now I'm :wtf: Title: Re: My new mod, but not really Post by: Asim on March 16, 2010, 10:07:40 PM it bent because the struts were blown and the dip?
or the struts blew and it bent because of the dip?

I would assume that the struts were worn, and the excess movement cause the spring perch to bend. Title: Re: My new mod, but not really Post by: stirfriedferret on March 18, 2010, 11:32:44 AM Mike is right. The struts were blown (to the point where oil was leaking out of the adjusters) and that along with the big dip caused the spring perch to fail. I believe that in other circumstances, the perch would not have failed because the strut would have absorbed the shock. Good times, though.

Title: Re: My new mod, but not really Post by: stirfriedferret on March 22, 2010, 11:16:54 AM I have no idea. I bought them used. I just bought a new pair of konis to replace them, so now everything is in good order.
