Hey platnum.. those should be pretty easy to install.. I did my Neuspeed sprots on my own in about an hour and I'm thinking coil overs should be about the same. I just came to realize that winter in michigan is boaring as it gets... I would do something to my car.. but I have no money [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] I may however change all my dash lights over to blue.. What do you all think? And I may get a decal kit.. decal kit That in dark silver with a red or blue shadow.. What do you all think?? My ride is black by the way. Well.. later all

We will work something out Platnum...I would suggest wait till after winter cause the one bad thing about coil overs is that they get dirty and rusty andfreeze up so you can not adjust them. Was a bitch breaking mine loose to raise the car before winter. But penetrating oil works great.

Magic...Stylin has a pretty sweet graphics kit he might be selling.

Yah...I was thinking sometime in March might be a good time for install...just a thought...

Oh and Magic...I wouldn't put a graphics kit on unless you got everything modded to your liking on the exterior of your car.

For example...I still have this on my checklist...

Body Kit
Sidemarkers
New Mirrors
Painted handles
Tint
New Tires

It's just my opinion, but I would think the graphics kit should be one of the last things you do...It's like trying to have gravy w/o your potatoes and stuffin

You've got a good point plat. But the only thing I have left for my outside is a kit. Stylin.. it seems that everything I want to do to my ride, you are doing or have already done.. whats up with that??? Like your ww sides and rear and T2001 front. But I'm going to go with the octain front and kamair (sp) sides and rear now. Oh well.. Later all

Yes, I think all adjustable suspension says that cause I do believe in some places, adjustable suspension is illegal. When they say off raod they just mean like the race track. Go here Dropzone and make sure your model number you got is right for your car.

Well... last night at arouond 11:00PM I was on my way to Canada to have a bit of fun with some firends. I was on I94 heading west (actually south but thats what the signs read) And I was around 8mile and a 7thgen blue civic blew by me doing about 100. So I jamed he gas and tryed to catch up and when I did I noticed he had a loud a.ss exahaust and a silver decail kit on the side. He was sitting on buttons thought (steelies with no hubbies) We diced for a little bit and reached about 110-115mph. Mind you I had 2 other people in my car. It was pretty crazy, bobing in and out of traffice which was kinda heavy for the time of night. He got off around like outer dirve I think?? I'm not to sure though. Does anyone know who it was?? Or if he comes here? Later all
