they ride really nice its stiff but not harsh like my T1R s coil springs i used to have, i have these set pretty stiff though because i still gotta work out some stuff with the front fender rubbing but other then that i like the ride alot more now then on the stock suspension setup. Plus it looks way better :P

Look'n gud mang!
I have the same size tires and rims on my gd, wen I drop down that low on my coilovers I have the rub'n issues also..so I keep'em' adjust'd jus' high enough so they won't rub in the front. But, yes they do look gud drop'd..

Keep up the gud wurk!!!

Funny you should mention that i am planning on doing it soon, i just gotta figure out how to do it clearly haha, i read the diy and was a little confused but i will try it soon enough, i recently did a diy lip to the front of my car now but i dont have pics yet haha.

The front grill in the bottom i actually just painted black if thats what your referring to? and the uper grill i just blacked out the honda badge.

that is DUMPED. I'm on coils too, but i'm can't lower it much more than 2 finger gaps between the fender and the tire. Anything lower I feel would be undriveable.

nice looking base model! awesome.

If you have any questions on the vertical rear wiper, shoot me a pm. I did mine a few weeks ago. Few parts of the DIY were a bit hazy but I got through it, and I love it. Also, get a pic or 2 up on the DIY lip. Let's see'er

Thanks alot!
and yes the rear is hopefully coming down more still this weekend, just gotta find the time haha been real busy with school lately. i can lower it a little more forsure and can always take out one of the perches to make it lower. The red strips might come off soon if i decide to paint the wheels but not sure yet. i wanted to paint them white for a white on white look

Well i recently did the JDM Wiper Mod and DIY Front Lip
Here are some quick photos of what it looks like
I know most of you probably wont feel the hot pink front, but its just the normal diy lip covered in pink ductape. it can be changed anytime
