Rep Power: 0 For those of you who haven't added these products to your list of current or future mod's, you may want to consider them.
I installed these both this weekend and WOW!
AEM Power Steering pulley: Most noticeable performance increase of anything I've done to my car thus far. The needle just climbs to redline with joy!
NGK Iridium IX spark plugs(NGK part #6441): While I've never really noticed any improvement before with different plugs, these plugs actually increase overall accleration and throttle response. They come PERFECTLY gapped(.40) from NGK. Others may claim this but don't seem to make good on this claim.
Do yourself a favor and get these items for you Civic. You'll be happy you did!

Thanks, and I will. Hope you have a good Honeymoon and vacation. Do you think the metal detector at the airport will give you any trouble for having that big ball and chain in your carry on coming back from Hawaii?

Rep Power: 0 Pimp,
I'm glad you have a sense of humor. Seems like these days people are so uptight. For power I don't really know what else I could do. I'm probably going to buy the DC Sports TCS exhaust to finish off the "bolt-on" stuff. Whether or not this will improve my car's performance...who knows? I'm pretty skeptical of any substantial gains. I'm also going to get that front upper strut brace from Neuspeed...gotta tighten up the cornering. OEM Side skirts are also gonna be ordered soon.
Maybe I should think about installing the $3000 pile of stereo equipment chillin' in my closet.
I dunno, it'll all come in time. For now, I'm really starting to enjoy my car.
Wanger, the plugs were about $6.50 each. They are NGK part #6441 and be purchased from Monarch Products. The install is very easy. Consult your owners manual for the instructions.
Later guys. If I can offer any other information that you might want, let me know.

Rep Power: 0 Oh boy, now I've done it. For some reason, I totally forgot that I had been talking to you about those springs and told ArtyChris that he could have them. He doesn't have any springs and wanted to lower his car. He's buying my Axis Touring Cups and I kinda just blindly said "hey, I've got some Neuspeed Race springs you can have as well".
SHIIIIZZZZZ, now I'm in between a rock and a hard place.

Rep Power: 0 Its no big deal. If he wants them it doesnt bother me. I was just going to see how they rode and if they were as low as my sprint springs. I bought some weapon R coilovers and I had them on but took the rear ones off because I need to get some shocks. The front rides fine but when the back ones are on then the shock is to long to actually do its job. My car is slammed right now. No gap in front or back.

Rep Power: 0 If I get the ingalls camber kit then I will have to roll my rear wheel wells, oh well. Not sure if im going to keep it like this or not. I was thinking about just getting the springs that you have. I like how your drop looks.
