Weapon R's Circuit Pro kit comes with a cold-forged polished aluminum collar that is threaded to allow the perch to be adjusted to the desired ride height. There are two sets of springs included: the main springs and the keeper springs. Both sets are cold wound from high-tensile, chrome silicon steel to ensure maximum rate consistency and are powdercoated for durability. The main springs are used for the bulk of the suspension duties, while the keeper springs add the extra progressive-rate quality for spirited driving conditions. The kits include the necessary spacers and washers to ensure proper shock alignment and a pair of spanner wrenches to allow instant changes of ride-height.

  • Honda Accord Weapon R Coilovers Main Springs
    Slide the main spring on the coilover assembly. Make sure you use the correct main spring (the springs are marked front and rear). Add the middle spring alignment perch and the keeper spring. The keeper spring helps to ensure contact at full extension of the shock and also adds a progressive rate quality to the ride under full compression of the shock.

  • Honda Accord Weapon R Coilovers Spring Perch
  • Honda Accord Weapon R Coilovers Top Hat
    Replace the factory bump stop washer followed by the included billet spring perch. Because the springs are of a slightly smaller diameter, the perch is used in conjunction with the factory perch to keep the spring centered under the constant compression and rebound motions.

To illustrate how easy it is to properly upgrade your suspension to its full potential, we acquired a set of Circuit Pro coilovers for the ever-popular Honda Accord and forwarded them to Jeff "Jeffro" Olekosow at Pann Auto Performance in San Diego, Calif., a veteran installer of these threaded sleeve coilover systems. Bust out your tools; we've got the how-to to get it done.

    Tighten the factory upper spring perch. Be sure to use the original factory bushings (or replace them if necessary) and torque the assembly to specs.

  • Honda Accord Weapon R Coilovers Coilover Installed
    Re-install the complete coilover assembly on the car. Now would be a good time to note the height of the spring perch (by counting exposed threads). This will make it easier to fine-tune the car once it is lowered on the ground. Repeat for the other corners of the car.

    As you can see, the Circuit Pro springs are shorter than the OEM springs. This allows for a greater range of height adjustability over a kit with only threaded perches or a shock with adjustable perch height.

  • Honda Accord Weapon R Coilovers Ride Height Adjustment
    After installing all four corners and putting the car back on the ground, measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the point of the wheel well directly above it. Be sure to release the parking brake before taking any measurements. Using the supplied spanner wrenches, adjust the larger spring perch until you reach the desired ride height. Then, lock the perch in place by tightening the smaller perch against it. Remember to check for proper camber and caster to get the proper tire-to-road contact.
