I'm still on the Si bolts, actually.. I wasn't satisfied with them at first-- but I have no intentions of going anymore negative than what it is after I got the fender roll. Front tires are already ready to get tucked in after I run 205's.

Oh fasho haha that's nice. Wonder if I'd ever bump into you on the way or over there without knowing haha-- I'm planning to go there more.

And yea-- still on the Si bolts; I'm pretty sure, as long as you got some reputable people to do alignment, you can get the -1.75 degrees (or whatever it is) from Si bolts. The person I went to said they could max out my camber but his mechanic most likely lied to me that it couldn't go past -1 degree. That mechanic kept going on an on about how there would be excessive tire wear and the usual and acted like I had no idea what I was doing to my car. It's whatever now haha once I run 205/40's or 45's I'll be able to drop more.

Goin' low on what bro?!

BC N+. I just need to get rid of my lip first. I bought some eBay camber bolts. They say its a -2 camber but ill have to try it out first. Don't want to have too much camber in front since the rear is non-adjustible.

The first is '06 civic bolts and the other is '08 civic. I tried getting a response before I got mine which was better between the two but I didn't get any reply. I got the '06 bolts. But I'm thinkin' both should do about the same since they're just OEM. Just a reminder, if you didn't already know.. remember to buy 4 bolts! Haha.

I sell produce to the local in that area. A farmer's market to be exact. Only there on Tuesday from 9am til 5pm. So if you ever want me to bring it. Its possible. much better than shipping. Lol.

Thanks! I appreciate it
Oh, and about your PM.. it says you're not accepting PM's so I guess I'll just post it up here yea?
It isn't at all a pain as long as you have a little patience and a ratchet haha. I was in the same position as you.
I tried it without a ratchet-- those bolts are on there pretty tight. Piece of cake if you take the time to pull off the interior hatch cover and use a ratchet to loosen up the windshield motor holder. There's a DIY thread here somewhere..

Ah niice. We'll see! If it's still available by the time I'm able to grab my hands on it, then I'll most definitely hit you up about it haha thanks

Yea, true. I was thinking about that-- but I don't have anything long enough to keep the same direction in the pattern. What would happen is that the diagonal pattern would go the opposite way. Do you think it matters? It's at the bottom anyway huh.
