I just purchased a 2005 Civic Si Ep3. These were included in the car. I didn't know until my alignment tech. told me about it. Turns out they are new. Including new tie rod ends.
I have 02 DC5 w/ Ktuned coilovers, I honestly thought they would be better than I imagined. Didn’t really like the ride quality, feel like they can be better. Going to upgrade to a better brand like KW or Fortune Auto
Nice, I am really interested in buying Tein for my Rsx, currently, I am running a pretty unusual configuration, KYB shocks with tein lowering springs at the back, I had to change the ones in the front (Tein as well) because they were too soft (bad condition), and put a 240sx springs, I know that this is weird, it was an emergency, here at my country we don't have too many stores (car stuff) like in the US. So please, upload a review about how the Tein are doing so far. Thanks.
Currently running Ktune K1 on my EM1 they ok but not the best. Sent my Tien Flex that I had over 20yrs to rebuild worth the cost to rebuild. Can’t wait to put them back on.
Hey, I know this video is old and you haven't posted/uploaded anything in a long time, but how do you like the Tein Flex Z coilovers on the DC5? I had them in my old CW2 TSX Sport Wagon and I loved them. Super comfortable while still being firm and sporty and super low.
I've been running the Koni/GC setup for over a decade on my DA. Unbeatable for the price, and the fact that the shocks haven't blown after so long with my car sitting REALLY low the whole time (exhaust has about 1/2" ground clearance) just reaffirms that my money was well spent.
@@imcnblu yeah plus if they do blow, Koni will replace them with the warranty with the proof of purchase, which is a great feature offered by the company
If you’re no longer needing the Ktuned ones hit me up with a price please! My progress coilovers have hit their limit and need replacing (loose shock on driver side and passenger side) let me know! 🙏
You didn't have flat ride. You had pitch. That is the problem with most after market coilovers. If you still have your ktune coilovers switch the front spring to a 6k front spring rate. Call ktune and ask then what is the front and rear bounce frequency in Hz . Springs rate doesn't matter. Suspension frequency is more Important if you care about stability and ride quality. Those are actually the flex with a 8k front and 10k rear. The front would benefit from a 6k springs maybe even a 7k. Since I don't know the formula to calculate the suspension frequency. Can't really say. How I calculate a right now, is to stiffen the springs rate base on percentage. Example, if I increase the front by 100% then increase the rear by the same.
Hello there, noticed that you're running brembo brakes. Do you mind telling or sharing a link on what kind of brake pads you're using? I just recently bought my rsx and have no idea what kind of brakes they use. Thank you and much appreciated.
I’ve been owning the Ktuned coilovers since last October and honestly I haven’t had any issues with them yet, maybe cause I don’t use my RSX-S as a daily. Maybe they’re great for street and not for track. I owned BC and Skunk2 & I gotta admit BC was probably a great option cause Skunk2 went out very quickly, maybe is just Chicago bad roads. Hopefully Tein works much better for you man, especially at the track.
Thank you for sharing your experience as well! After using them on the street, playing with the settings and adjusting accordingly. I simply couldn’t get the balance expected from that product. Since you have tried a higher quality product such as BC, you understand. I look at Tein the same as you look at BC, much higher quality product. Yeah I’ve heard Chicago roads are a bit bumpy lol thankfully it’s quite smooth on my area. I appreciate it, so far extremely good with the Tein, I am enjoying every ride again.
I’m looking to get either tein or k tuned. No track. 2003 civic ex coupe. Just want a soft comfortable ride. Not looking for crazy handling or anything, but anything will be an upgrade to my leaky 19 year old struts. What do you recommend bro?
That’s awesome! Seems like regardless of platform the ride quality with them is even throughout the brand! They definitely did their research for each platform
Currently on Megan Street on my DC5. However, it's time for a replacement. Megan's where nice but their pillowball top hats give out too quickly. Had to replace them a couple times. Thinking about purchasing these, but the spring rates are keeping me away. Don't want a soft coilover since I do spirited drives up on the mountain roads. Your thoughts?
Good stuff as always. Luis...I noticed you switched wheels back to 17’s. I have the same FD2 wheels on my dc5, are you having tie rod or strut bearings issue with the heavy bigger FD2?
Oh no, I never had issues with running that bigger wheel. I like to switch styles from time to time that’s all, personally love the FD2. I mean they aren’t that much heavier to impact bearings or struts. Maybe those other components were aged at the time of swapping into heavier wheels? That’s always a possibility. What do you think?
DC5R.Parts Thanks for the reply, hard to say, the car has under 50k. But I purchased the type R suspension and right away the strut bearings went bad. They were used, but I went back to stock and the I’m still hearing some noise on stand still turning but 80% better. Just wondering if I needed inverted tie rods. Thanks for your advise and knowledge man, really good stuff. I followed your directions on the Power folding mirrors. Thanks 🙏
I am running inverted tie rods and extended ball joints definitely needed if you are going to run any coilover and change ride height

Its why Fortune Auto stopped making coils for our cars.. Once you lower, our suspension geometry gets all messed up. And Fortune Auto, literally one of the best coilovers you can buy, was having all types of issues with bad owners slamming their Dc5's and ep3's on racing Coilovers and blowing out the shocks and having all types of issues... Our suspension geometry is not simple when it comes to lowering and you need a professional suspension shop to get it right.
How are you liking the ride so far? I have the Tein Basis and was thinking about upgrading to these because of the adjustability and pillowball mounts.
They are superb!!!! They are everything I ever wanted out of a coilover and more. Very stable and the tuning of the shock vs spring is on point. You’ll love it
Can never go wrong with Tien, and yea ktune seems to be lacking but they tend to sponsor a lot of builds hence their popularity

Tien's are average.. If you want a good coilover, go AMR, Fortune Auto, Feal, or even KW(expensive tho).. I had AMR's and now I have Feal 441+'s and they are incredible.. Sadly, Fortune Auto stopped the Dc5 and Ep3 coils cuz people are idiots with our suspension geometry and don't know how to use good coils properly and buy $1500 racing coilovers just to slam their cars like morons..
@@IaintTrynaGoOutLikeBIGnPAC I would assume most people know this, and I dont think anyone here has claimed the K1 is a track coilover, but regardless, its not a good coilover for the price. It does not have a great shock/strut and it is not an easy coil to dial in and tune. Its just not well made, and really, what Chinese coilover is? Maybe BC coils, but thats about it, but BC also runs a Monopoly on Chinese coilover parts and hoards all the good parts for themselves.
I was actually thinking buying ktune coil over but I was not sure about it's quality. My choose where mugen struts , kw coil over, j s racing , k sport and ktune since they where about $1,000 plus. This video to me was very informative 👍it help me narrow it down. Am just looking a good quality with the performance and ride comfort. Hope your new suspension set up goes very well for you

So I’m have a hard time making a decision on what coilovers to go with on my 06 Rsx please tell me how you like the tein coilovers how do they ride are they stiff ?
Hey Miguel! Out of all coil overs out there, these will be tailored more towards the street vs track setups. It rides super smooth on the roads while retaining that sport feel which can be taken to the track once set to max on stiffness settings. I really like them. Hopefully that helps you with your research. Here’s the link if needed dc5rparts.com/products/tein-flex-z-coilover-suspension?_pos=1&_sid=80fd1ddf3&_ss=r

I have them both on my 07and 13 honda accord close to 1year TEIN FLEX Z and they perform very well. If you can save money I would recommend the Flex Z best bang for your buck its a real JDM product just be aware of fake one.

@@richardkrikorian4438 It wasnt... RSX models were assembled in the US.. I worked at Marysville. We assembled the RSX here for the states. Most Acura models are assembled here in the US.
@@richardkrikorian4438 Honda of Japan assembled their own DC5's... North America Acura/Honda plants assembled our own. Which is why the DC5 is different in the states and over in Japan and has many little differences between American and Japanese Models.
Bro my boy has these on his dc2 and they are absolutely trash they bounce so much
That's what coilovers do in the streets. If you want something that can take a bump, stay stock.

I guess you are no longer sponsered by ktuned, what a joke, stop the b.s.
I dont think he was ever sponsored by Ktuned
He has never liked Ktuned, watch all his videos all he ever does is expose them for cheap products
Edit: he does love hybrid racing and they do tend to sponsor popular Honda channels so that’s probably the sponsorship you’re confusing it with
MVMBA DC5 yooo love your channel bro, appreciate you even more after seeing this.
My loyal subscribers answered the question for me so there’s little I have to say since they are correct.
To add, I only review parts just so you guys benefit from my findings, sponsored or not, I speak the truth because my honesty and integrity as a person doesn’t have a price. I am simply doing what I love, which is to help others so whether you want to believe or not. That’s up to you. I only care about being transparent in front of gods eyes.
So next time, do your research before trying to jump into false claims and conclusions about my character. Thank you for watching. 💪🏼
Stick to high quality struts shocks , find other ways to lower your cars , and stop using these coil over crap .
Buddy you do know that a coilover is a strut, and spring design all in one, right? 😂😂😂
