Welcome to the forums bud and enjoy your stay here.

i would suggest getting TRD springs i think they are great.

Nice civic by the way, except the color to my opinion i'm not a big fan of red.
Where in NY u at ? i'm from the bronx when not deployed or on post.

ohh and dont worry we are not going to allow dirty smack talking.

P.S. brock honda is too fast for you, get a huyndai accent

^pretty sure her name is Kimber, her car is nuts... won ride of the month recently
'
Hope everyone had a safe and joyful thanksgiving,
Be grateful for what you got and who you got
People don't get flowers when they could still smell'em

UPDATE

He/We finally pulled the trigger on some K Sport springs...
I found him a great deal on them, and i quickly searched a review of them, and overall they said the springs gave a nice smooth ride... hes always complaining about how stiff/rough my ride is so maybe this will do him justice



for those of u interested though, i got my new front bumper, decided to go fogless... i have no intentions of ever putting foglights back on my car, or any car i own for that matter, unless it comes factory...

I snapped a stud on one of my top hats while installing a sway bar, so tomorrow im gonna run over to honda and try n talk them into giving me a "black friday" price for a new top hat, the sway bar is coming out and never going back in also

next rear lower tie bars, and probably a progress rear sway bar or if i get a good deal on an Si sway, i'll pick one of those up too

what a day!

we kind of lowered the car today

we knocked out the front in about 1 hour, including watching my new fridge get installed lol

the back however... IMPOSSIBLE took me a little under 2 hours to do 1 side, then it got dark, cold, and windy, so i got a tC on jackstands in my back yard... the rear passenger side is done, just need to throw the tire back on, and move onto the driver side... not looking forward to it to be honest

rear coilovers are awesome, but boy did toyota make it impossible to get to, i get to it, i get all the bolts out and the damn thing wont come out, not enough room, thank GOD i had him rent a spring compressor, i only used the spring compressor the first time i ever lowered a civic... ive done it about 3 times on my car (warranty got denied, so i took the springs out) and 2 other friends cars

well tomorrow im waking up early n goin out there n putting in work. i wanna see this thing back on the road!
