I actually meant the "R" rating. Most insulation has a rating based on how well it regulates temperature. The foam stuff I put on my A/C lines is rated at R3, the silvery wrap stuff is R4 and most house insulation is like R40+.

I was just wondering how much better the silicone is...

Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but he seems to be using a 5inch short antenna.

Most of us end up with the Honda S2000 rubber antenna (7inches)..

I've tried both the 3inch and 5inch... currently use the S2000 7inch antenna... its the only antenna I could find that was still able to receive a steady HD-radio signal...

Ok, I couldn't tell on my work computer. I had thought about trying the Torque Solutions S2000 antenna. It's billet aluminum. Don't know how it will do with reception though.

STD Suspension R1 coilovers, they offer the most bang for the buck...

You need to email them to get the set.

Sweet thanks!

I knew someone had them. But wasn't sure if they were Protos or not. Not a fan of the color though. May have to wait for tanabe or see what bc looks like when they get there's done.

man! i'm lost at what to do...(sorry jtk2 for the thread jack)

the STD suspension looks awesome...i want it!

BUT i just talked to CUSCO and they are teasing me with a "maybe" they will make a set for the tC2...ahhhH! i want to lower it already...but i dont want to throw money at springs, id rather spend on coils...
but IF i can get them free or sponsored discount...id rather go that route...i hate waiting..............
