Have you had any problems at all with the CR setup on an AP2?

I thought I read something about an improper height in the front... Was i imagining that?

Thanks
its not improper, it's within spec. front tends to go up, rear tends to go down. all within factory spec, so no issues.

So if one were to get the CR's would you have to get the swaybars aswell?

its not just any book.. its from KW who designed the coilovers, and listed what they found best for the street. i doubt they just picked a number.
Well...their manual is set for an ap1...since the ap2 swaybars are different, it automatically means those numbers are off for an ap2. Did they test on an MY00-01 or MY02-03...the rear swaybar is different between the two.

Also, are those numbers taking into account the car's weight...has the owner done any weight reduction or do they have an extra 150lb of amps & subs.

As their manual states...those are starting numbers. The intent is for the driver to tune them.

I did the CR coilovers + sway bars together. So I cannot comment on the two parts separately.

I'm just a believer that things need to go in proper sets. If you are getting the coilovers, then defintely replace the sway bars as well. The bars are quite cheap anyway. After all, Honda designed the two together. Well, maybe the CR radio door isn't necessary for your suspension changes

I can only say that body roll, nose dive from braking and squad from acceleration were all reduced at a noticeable level. But then, there are expected just from looking at the specs hehe
