Re: Tipnitty's official thread

Well I'm still looking around for what struts I want to use and I'm still undecided. I'm stuck between koni Yellows and Spec-D's. Personal opinions? Also, is there a certain set of crash bots and camber kits I should be looking into?

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

I have Spec-Ds, very nice strut. I can control how the car handles just by adjusting the dampening in the strut. You don't have to modify them either. Eibach (ingales) makes a good rear camber kit that you will need. I have that and front camber bolts, same company. You may not need the fronts, but definatly the rear.

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

I'm doing a budget build here and I've heard the Spec-D can become quite pricey. So that's one big concern of mine.

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

Why thank you. I'm waiting on parts to be delivered (camber kits, blox lugs, OEM fogs) and just needing to get an rsx sway bar and find tires I want and I will have a busy install day ahead of me.

I sold then to a friend of mine. He wouldn't leave me alone and I decided I wanted full coils.

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

Well after I just couldn't find the parts I really wanted, and kept getting screwed over on coils, I decided to buy a new toy (check members rides).

But I still love this car and won't sell it. Recently she has gotten a full tune up on her. I have FINALLY found the set of proper lugs for the shoguns and have bought a cheap set of tires to make sure that they will look good. I have also blacked out the headlights while I was restoring them. They were in pretty bad shape. The tires will be put on the wheels, hopefully next saturday. If not, it will be next monday. But no matter what, THEY WILL FINALLY BE ON!!!!

She was dirty so I cleaned her up.

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

Finally got the wheels on. I think it's perfect. Could use a bit more tire and lowered a bit. But I think this is just ****.

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

And that's fine. I think 99% of meshed heels look like ***. Like I think every BBS wheel looks like trash. I'm a spoke guy and I have always loved these. I've gotten all compliments this far.

Can't please every one, and I've never seen an em2 with them

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

I'm iffy on the wheels but I don't hate them. Everything else looks nice. I'm totally jealous of your engine bay though since all the metal brackets in mine are rusted :/

Re: Tipnitty's official thread

Wish my engine bay was cleaner, there is surface rush on many of the items under hood but not too bad.

Here is a pic from tonight. My friend and I were hanging out at his work when he says, "That looks really sharp for a honda."
