Shouldn't you be asking on a Honda forum?

the reason why i'm downgrading is because my konis are OLD billion miles old

i'll have them checked out afterwards and see if i can still use them while i run on the new set up


as for money for 4 wheel alignment is around 60$? i'll have to dig thru some threads and find that one out, otherwise i'd definitely need to gather up all my coins and what ever spare money i have left lying around.

i should have somewhere around 30$ in quarters just gotta roll them up in the coin rolls and try to bank them out

so.. above poster is willing to help?

yea i remembered i have another deal going on. also isn't it expensive to rebuild konis? 100$ each? correct me if im wrong there, thats what i've been told and was suggested that i'd buy a new set if it's like that... which i don't have money for right now

right here http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/s-ocII.asp

the person who is willing to trade me the tanabe for my old set up and like 200-250 on top. he will be riding em for a bit since he is getting a new coil over set up. tanabe have aprox ~5k miles

so what do you guys think about the tanabe? i'm still new to the game as you can tell here =P

so depending on response my scenario may be like this
#1) if you guys say i should go tanabe, then i will sell the blue+gc since someone i know wanted them as well and has blown shocks and it will be a win win situation since we both will be running new suspensions
#2) if the koni can be rebuilt fast and "CHEAP" i'd gather up what money i have and do it and throw on some koni gc on or something

-thanks to all for responding so far, i like responses this quick
