Rep Power: 0 Already got that combo. There's some pretty extensive discussions in threads on this site.
I just browsed the Honda Tuning article. It is pretty accurate except. Having modified one set of struts, I can do another set in less than 30 minutes. If you polish away the crease left by the cutter, the strut cartriges slide right in. No hammer or press needed. The modification is much easier than the install itself.
Anyone want their struts done, send me your inserts, and I'll send them back in a set of struts on an exchange basis. On receipt of the modified struts, send me your take off struts.

Rep Power: 0 Something else slightly misleading in the article. They put the springs and shocks on a car that had it's suspension beat out. So they end up raising the car, expecially at the rear. If one just looks at the captions of the install pics, it might lead them to believe that the springs would actually raise their car.
Actually when installing the setup on a car with OE suspension in good shape the car ends up about an inch lower in the front and about 3/4 inch lower in the rear. That's part of the whole idea, to lower the center of gravity of the car, while adding improved suspension components.
