OK I decided to go the Bilstein B12 Kit route and ordered a kit earlier today. My Plan of action is as follows: Replace ARB Bushes Replace Compliance Bushes Check and replace if Necessary the ARB Links Have my Mechanic check Ball joints / Top Mounts / Tie Rods and other equipment. Fit B12 Pro...

OK thanks for the info chaps. I know the Collies Vs Damper & Springs debate continues (a few hours of goggling definitely did not help me make a decision), I can see the plus points of both types of equipment. In this instance I decided that as I would be happy with a modest drop and the...

yes will definately do a full reveiw if I fit the Bilstein kit

Aha someone who Knows about top mounts. (I don't really) Hopefully the OEM ones on the car are OK as theres been no modifications done yet so I'm hoping I'll get away without having to replace them. but in case I do have to replace them any idea about prices ?

Im hoping to get a few years out of the car yet, and am betting on its reliability so I'll probably have to replace the Damapers and Spings anyway so now seems as good a time as any. I just came into some unexpected funds :D so i'm doing the mod just not sure which way im going. I've...

I should add that I want a lower ride for the following reasons: Better handling less wallowing and lurching and flatter in the bends hopefully (within reasonable expectations shes a weasel so i'm not expecting type S handling). Better visual appeal - hate how high the 7th gen is on my...

Up until yesterday I was convinced that I should buy the Blistein B12 Pro kit in order to lower my Accord. My second choice was the BC Coil-overs which I know a lot of the Forum Members are running. I'm now reconsidering the BC Coil-overs so wondered if anyone can help sway me in either...

Just noticed I've started this topic is in 8th Gen not 7th gen modifying, sorry Hopefully a mod can move it.

I have the car booked in next week for a new set of brake pads. I think I'll follow your advice and will get all of the bushes replaced as well and get them to check the ARB links. I'll ask him to have a look at the ball joints and anything else that may have worn. then hopefully I can get the...

Cheers Faddy exactly what I was after. I Know your accord was a bit younger than mine when you put the A spec and rages on so I'm probably going to replace all the items you listed prior to fitting the suspension and wheels. Do you still think I need to put new rear ARB bushes on? as the...

I have a set of rage Alloys which I plan to shoe and fit fairly soon after the lowering, so with the new uprated suspension and wheels, I'm wondering what areas are going to need work aside from new bushes ?

I'm finally ready to do the suspension on my 04 i-cdti Exec. I'm planning on fitting the Bilstein B12 Pro kit, which consists of a set of front and rear matched Bilstein B8 shortened dampers and Eilback Pro springs. Originally I had planned to go the A-spec route but due to supply issue I...

I'd been wanting to do it for ages but the gaiter clip stopped me. Your DIY had the solution and eBay links so resistance was Futile. Very happy with the result. Thanks again for sharing. Now I need to do something about the blue marble trim. maybe spay it silver to match steering wheel or...

eBay goodies arrived, job took about half an hour thanks to this excellent DIY. Pictures as requested: (Note Mine is a 5 speed but looks almost the same due to Executive 04 trim.)

I was thinking of doing this myself, but I had not found a solution to the gaiter clip swap, I have the same blue marble exec trim and gear set up. This is exactly what I needed. Great Write up. Off too eBay it is then. Thank-you :D The only question left is do I go with a weighted gear...

Yeah my seat has done it since purchase, oh well

I have a couple broad-it holders. I Went for either side of the stereo, my Iphone holders between the stereo and steering wheel for easy access for calls and track changing (xcarlink via Bluetooth or cable) and on the opposite side I have my Tom Tom. Ill get a picture up for you in the morning...

I thought exactly the same after My first oil change as I had not owned a diesel before, it seems to be normal, perhaps due to higher pressure on diesels, but it did motivate my decision to change the oil more frequently to avoid as much black sludge wear issues as possible.

Yes that was my thinking. if i need to burn more money on oil changes its probably better to do them even more frequently than using the additive however I think I'll stick with my current regime. I did look into using their engine flush products but it seems very costly and potentially...

Ok just a quick query, I change my Diesel 7th gen oil using the correct lubetech 0w30 oil every 5-6 k and use genuine filters. but was wondering about this product: http://www.powerenhancer.co.uk/product.php/228/diesel-oil-conditioner Is it a good idea or just an unnecessary addition to my...
