I guess I'm the only one lowered on B&G springs.

It feels good to be unique. I like it!

Yep. The rears only have a finger gap. Fronts are really tight

I think I have one or two I can load up from the pc at home.

Biggest improvement has been in crosswind stability. I don't feel like the car is affected nearly as much.

Ride on stock wheels and tires are almost identical to the stock setup but with slightly less body roll. Turn in, and highway twitchiness SEEMS improved, but I am attributing that to the slightly less roll that I feel.

I find the height about perfect from a daily driver standpoint as I have not bottomed out on driveway entrances or potholes if I do my part. From strictly a looks standpoint, I would rather have the front a bit lower.

Great set of springs for the person who is on a tight budget, wants a little better driving feel, but cannot sacrifice stock comfort or is looking to keep clearances maximized.

The only reason I didn't go with the DF210's (same spring rate with a lower drop) is that I wouldn't be able to get up my driveway without being VERY careful.

I bought this one and it seems to be almost exactly the same.

SEIBON :: Rear Spoilers :: RS0910HDFIT-TR

carbonfiberhoods.net has them for a better price.

Just put 10mm spacers on the rear yesterday and they look so much better!

The fronts were a tight finger gap but I got my fenders pulled so no more rubbage but, it does create a huge gap now lol. Contemplating on putting 17's..

figured these would be helpful to someone...

rim specs: 16x7 et 40
tire specs: oem dunlops (185/55/16)
suspension: t1r s-coils, bump stops only cut in front; my shocks have never bottomed out
rubbing: i rub on the front fender liner / clips on big dips when i take them too fast. other than that, no issues whatsoever.

front gap: i'd call it about 1/2 a finger gap

rear gap: about 1 finger gap

front bumper clearance: this is with a jdp lip, which lowers it about ~3/4" if that

side profile:


i have absolutely no complaints with the t1r's. it's been about 1500 miles since i installed them and they're holding up just fine. ride is smooth, and handling is improved. wouldn't mind if the spring rates were a bit stiffer, but other than that nothing. drop is clean, definitely not a hassle for me (i also used to drive a civic 3.5" off the ground).
