D2S /D2R is far far better than LED

I have to do some modifications to get it installed or they are just ready to plug in?

You will need to do some work
But it's worth doing

pwuser155912058688 (Asim Mirza) 2020-12-30 17:08:24 +0500 #1967

Do you have some tutorials for that. I saw some post of urs doing some project with tubes but I am unable to find it now

Ride height Project

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 12:57:08 +0500 #1970

Ride height and ground clearance are mentioned in the vehicle specifications sheet.

PKDM says clearance is 153mm which is about 6 inch
Australian, Thai, U.S, Middle East etc has ground clearance of 130 mm to 134mm

which is about 18 to 20 mm difference on paper

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 12:58:32 +0500 #1971

I took measurement of the my car height (fender arch to ground) for all 4 wheels

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:00:11 +0500 #1972

I also measured some more pkdm cars for reference. And they were with in +/- 3mm to 4mm difference
Obviously that's depends on the surface the car is parked
And the tyre pressure etc

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:12:38 +0500 #1973

Averaging multiple readings
PKDM ride height (ground to Fender Arch Max point) is as below

Front Left 697mm. Front Right 692 mm
Rear Left. 683mm. Rear Right 680 mm

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:13:24 +0500 #1974

This is how the reading is taken

I searched used parts markets to find springs.
But unfortunately I couldn't find the springs from one car and I didn't want to test springs that were taken out from different cars.

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:17:51 +0500 #1977

After alot of research and calculation, I figured out that it is the shock absorber that is responsible for car height and not the spring

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:18:40 +0500 #1978

More over, I found out that vehicle height of international model and PKDM is same from rear.
Difference is in the front only

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:19:27 +0500 #1979

So I ordered shocks/springs/foundation (complete)

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:20:24 +0500 #1980

After ordering it, I came to know that international model shocks are thicker and won't fix in pkdm Knuckle HUB

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:20:51 +0500 #1981

So I ordered Knuckle Hub as well

Spano (Ehtesham Bokhari) 2021-01-01 13:22:16 +0500 #1982

As civic X owners know it's brakes tend to vibrate after 20,000 km and in case if turbo that can be before that.
So I ordered international model
OEM Brake rotors and OEM Brake pads as well
