Refurb and new have the same exact specs and same exact 1 year warranty. I'm leaning towards saving $150...since I dont 'need' headphones and that extra $150 can go towards the civic

Dahlias looking good!

Kenchan totally with the spending on stuff you dont really wanna spend $ on haha.

Considering the SWIFTS...not sure that's the route I'm gonna end up doing. With a 65% and 100% spring rate increase front and rear respectively. I think it'll just be too harsh for DD.

As much as you guys dont like...I'm likely considering the Eibach's. 1" all around, 15% rate increase so will be better but still comfortable. Plus the SI RSB will make this handle great. Not that I'll be tracking it or anything.

Yeah i liked them on my 95' 240sx/s14/silvia whatever you guys wanna call it.

I did like the H&R's on 99' EK Hatch. The weird thing about the H&R's is they have a forward rake. 1.25" front drop/1" rear drop. Eibachs are 1" all around.

So $225 for springs....$80 for SI RSB...$650 for Konig Ultraforms...$mount/balance/alignment/lugs/hub centric rings.

Should be good suspension-wise after that.

Heres a pic of a hatch with same spacers and pro-kit.




Looking at MBP today when we goto the mall...then I'll order it online to surprise her.

NA EJ25 blow their head gaskets all the time. The FA20 is the better engine.

shinjari lol!!

mike i don’t know anything about da NA EJ25’s. the STI engine is also an EJ25 but most of dem breaking the ringlands imho are driver error. kids punching throttle at higher gear due to inexperience cause they can’t downshift fast enough. hell i beat the shit out of my STI at times, no issue. she responds very well with zero hesitation. thing is a sports car in an family sedan skin. i luv it. but do i luv her more dan my Golf-R? nnnn not really.
