you're supposed to raise and lower it from the bottom one. the two in that's holding the spring is supposed to be a pre load setting. the bottom one adjust the actual shocks itself, so the pre load don't change. the way you adjust it is the old way. edit: but you did it correct on the driver side..lol
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
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.
Congratulations! It's so good to see these great improvements !!!And as a 92 Civic Si owner , i'd like to suggest that you might consider upgrading the anti-roll bars to collaborate with F:14K R:12K springs and the heavy tyres.Wish you have a lot of fun in the circuit,hooray~~~!!!!!
Man congrats on the progress of the car. You seem like a genuinely nice dude and sincere which is why I enjoy your channel. You guys keep it up we need more people like you in the car scene.
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
Thanks for the informative coilover install tutorial. I just acquired a set of tein coilovers and was in need of clarification on pre-loading them with the weight of the vehicle during install.
Looks good and I love your enthusiasm. I have a 99 si that has progress coilovers and I need to do the hardrace parts as well. Just ordered my 949 in tungsten today.
Wow I'm very happy for you the way the wheels and tires fit with the new coilovers looks sick!!! Can't wait for you to get the car finished , dialed in an on the track very excited for you man
Your hatch looks amazing! Can't wait to see how everything behaves once you get an alignment done. That thing will stick to the track like no other! Looks like a white version of my hatch now 😜
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
1st you need to clean the anti-seize off, The lock rings are already prone to coming loose under track use. 2nd you need to use a really big flat head screwdriver or a large punch and a hammer to "set" (lock) the lock rings or they will come loose sooner or later. 3rd you need to check and properly set the pre-load on the springs. springs with to much pre-load will damage the valving in the dampers. I have seen excessive pre-load kill a set of dampers in as little as 2,000 miles. also if the pre-load is set unevenly it can make a car handle differently to the left or right. If you need to know how to properly set the pre-load let me know, It's not hard and I can talk you through it.
you cranked on the wrong perch to raise the car. you want to crack the very bottom perch first then turn the lower of the top two to raise the shock or turn the top perch to lower it. that way your preload doesnt change while your rotating the coil. the car looks great though man! youre going to be able to keep the throttle pinned on track now haha
Glad to see the car progress but what I really look forward to is seeing YOU progress as a driver. Stop spending money on the car and get back out to the track!
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
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!
Looks great, would like to hear some feedback once you get it on the track. I am currently looking for coilovers, but I am torn between choice's and not enough track feedback.
Not sure who else to ask at this point, but just going to hope that you read this comment and respond. I am trying to decide between a 1992-1993 EG and 2002 to 2004 EX Civic and finally came down to one thing. The thing I used the most, in both my previous 2003 and 2015 Civic's, was the pollen/ cabin air system. Do the EG models have this in them? because when you watch video's of the center console, you do see something that looks like one. I have always wanted a 1992 -1993 hatchback, but living in the desert man.... that ishh is a life saver.
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
Will you ever swap to a B16 or another honda engine?? 180-200 hp it's perfect for track(for the eg). And will you do any interior customization for better feeling and driving experience(steering wheel,seats,5 point harnesses etc. ). Love your cars!
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.
So would your recommended the BR? I'm a day or so away from ordering them then I'll upgrade the spring they offer later. Its gonna just be my daily/ I'll try out a track building a stock k24. Thanks breh
Beautiful unboxing clip! Lookin good and you nailed it with the measurements. Hey Rob what shirt were you wearing the first day? It had all generations of the civic. I want that man!
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 😁
These coilover are so worth the money, they are amazing! I went with a little more conservative spring rate of 10k in the front and 8k in the rear. Didnt want to go to crazy as I still drive my car on the street but man, it's a whole different car, even though my car has done awesome at the track so far, I'm so stoked to dial these things in and get back out there, the car is on rails now!
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!
I'm debating.. BC Racing coilovers 14kg front springs 12kg rear springs vs the Ktuned K2 coilovers 18kg front springs and the 16kg rear springs, dang how those coilovers you got on feels man by doing 60mph-80mph on curves left and right, any bumps or how does it feels driving on regular streets, how does it feels and how does absorbs the impact on pat holes, bad road street conditions. Here in Miami the roads r nasty so bad damage specially if you driving on little Haiti to little Havana Cuba.
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.
hey dude your rear brakes are integras I believe from 1994-2000, when you purchase the BC racing coilovers have you told them that you have integras rear disc brakes it didn't matter if you told them or not, it will still fit even if it was stock rear drum brakes eg civics... ?
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
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
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 :)
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!
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
I've got a d15z6 manual car, it's about to go pop...I've bought a d15z6 automatic engine without the transmission... is it a straight swap or do I need to fanny about to get it in? My car is 1998, new engine is a 97....heeeeeelp =)
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?
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
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.
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

Looks super clean. Cars like these are what makes the "tuner" community look good.

wrong pre load is not necessary take it from guys who own at time attack
th-cam.com/video/jjsocJxdlYA/w-d-xo.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.

Your always full of positive energy man ! Love the build and love the channel 👌
I love how happy this dude gets w/his Honda. Keep posting videos homie
Great job and keep up the good work. Keeps me motivated to finish my EJ project.
Thanks for the informative coilover install tutorial. I just acquired a set of tein coilovers and was in need of clarification on pre-loading them with the weight of the vehicle during install.
Everything looks incredible BC racing coilovers
Looks good and I love your enthusiasm. I have a 99 si that has progress coilovers and I need to do the hardrace parts as well. Just ordered my 949 in tungsten today.
Cool vid. Got an eg too was going the same route you did. Nice to see a vid go through it
I wish they made it for my Lincoln town car
Wow I'm very happy for you the way the wheels and tires fit with the new coilovers looks sick!!! Can't wait for you to get the car finished , dialed in an on the track very excited for you man
Thanks for the video I just bought my first Eg6 I love your build !!

The Cleanest yet Amazing Track EG6 Civic Good job putting that thing to it's Former Glory Keep up The Good Work =)
good man for doing all the bushes loaded the way it should be done
Yeah, thanks for that advice Jack

and please torque your wheel bearings
think about front and rear splitter/diffuser since ur going to be tracking it. besides the obvious downforce it makes the car balanced as well.
Yeah, it'd be cool for sure. That'll come later though. I want to drive the car with no aero first
Bad ass man , looking better and better and the parts great quality!
Thanks a lot man. It’s been big hep from RHD Performance for sure!
Glad to see the car progress but what I really look forward to is seeing YOU progress as a driver. Stop spending money on the car and get back out to the track!
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
Nothing like seeing your car on the ground after it's been up in the air for long. Good Job bro!
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.
If you have some spare cash you should buy the Js Racing front fenders from nemos garage. Should help tire rub and look killer on your hatch.
Man eg is looking great good job proper build
Amazing , congrats Robbie!
Thanks Juan!
Looks great, would like to hear some feedback once you get it on the track. I am currently looking for coilovers, but I am torn between choice's and not enough track feedback.

Thanks man! I try to pay attention to making things steady more now. Appreciate you watching through all these videos!
Not sure who else to ask at this point, but just going to hope that you read this comment and respond.

Great video bro keep it up !! Love the energy !!
At 8:53, where can I get those nuts? I've tried looking for some but not too sure where to pick them up.

Take a shot every time he says, "go ahead."
do you even anti-seize,bro?
Car looks great Rob.
What wheels and tire size are you using? Love them
what's the outside diameter of OEM Civic EG EK struts?
What kinda front and rear brakes you got on your civic hatch ?
Man I want some 949 so bad!!
They sure look good!
Watching RN!!
What kind of motor have you got in your hatch

Hi what size wheel and tires you using?
The intro with that music made me feel like I was watching a porno!!! Hatch looks great with new ride height (coil overs).
"26y old and busted" thats pretty much me back in the day! :D
Haha!
nice bc racing coilovers civic eg hatch ok
Nice build mang
I'm debating.. BC Racing coilovers 14kg front springs 12kg rear springs vs the Ktuned K2 coilovers 18kg front springs and the 16kg rear springs, dang how those coilovers you got on feels man by doing 60mph-80mph on curves left and right, any bumps or how does it feels driving on regular streets, how does it feels and how does absorbs the impact on pat holes, bad road street conditions.

How do those 888rs hook? Good? Bad ?
Are bc coilovers any good?
Perfect fitment👌👌👌👌
hey dude your rear brakes are integras I believe from 1994-2000, when you purchase the BC racing coilovers have you told them that you have integras rear disc brakes it didn't matter if you told them or not, it will still fit even if it was stock rear drum brakes eg civics... ?

super proper!
what is the ride height of your EG?
Am think about getting coilovers but cant decide. Which would be better K tune or Bc?
Well I went with BC so that’s what I’d pick lol
Don't have to compress ball joints it's a tapered fut
Hey bro.. I just order the BC racing coilovers. For our EG civic.. they ask if it's fork style or eyelet style? Didn't understand what they mean...
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..

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!
Happen to know what size fits the hatch that won't scratch or I wont have to fold the fenders? Will 5x114.3 fit?
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.
How low is your EG now?🤔
What rims are these?
When's the followup episode for this?
I’ll be driving the car in some videos to come, just may take a few weeks
Thanks! I'm excited
I love EG's
you shouldve upgraded to integra front spindles while you had them off. wouldve allowed you to run a bigger rotor
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
I've got a d15z6 manual car, it's about to go pop...I've bought a d15z6 automatic engine without the transmission... is it a straight swap or do I need to fanny about to get it in? My car is 1998, new engine is a 97....heeeeeelp =)
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?
Why don’t you wear mechanics gloves?
Amazing turnout Robby! Random question though, is that a scar you have on your face?
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
What size wheels you running?
15’s
what kinda ecu you plan on runing
I have the p28 ecu
50/50 tails now!!!
Would look cool!
was it difficult to get custom coil overs ?
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
Anybody know the name of the song in the beginning of the video?
