Rep Power: 0 Help! I need new front struts.
I am getting rid of my coilovers and going with Nuespeed sport springs and I need to no where a good place to buy the OEM front struts are. Any sites that sell OEM replacement parts would be great. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 cool stuff. yea it can get interesting at times, but it's not nearly as bad as SHO. Congrats on your new wife.
Also, how did you get into the field of auto Mechanics/Body/Show, or whatever it is you do? I'm gonna be headin off to college soon, and cars are something i really have a passion for (unlike almost everything else). Well Cars and Money. lol.

Rep Power: 0 i actually do autobody ! I am journey level autobody technician ! I am cetified on every aspect of the vehicles from suspension to air conditioning! About 5 years ago i was a detailer for a body shop then i just started helping a bodyman with bumper jobs and replacing lights and stuff ! I was more or less a sponge, just soaking up info! But i only made about 15000.00 that year! But since then i am on my own and work for another shop and every year after i started i have nearly doubled my income ! this year i grossed 57,282.68 ! But you have to spend alot of money in tools! I got insurance on my tools and my tool box and the insurance company said if i lost everything then they would write me a check for 24,000.00! i love my job and i cant think of anything cooler to be doing for a living!

Rep Power: 0 nice, sounds cool. Maybe I'll look into it. If I take Commerce, and Get into the field of autobody, maybe I can get something started. But that's years from now (by the time I finish). But I think I might go look for a job as a detailer. I almost applied for one last summer. Thanks for the inspiration. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Got tired of the coilovers huh? Anybody here have Neuspeed Sport springs installed with pics. I still have a set with me but I have no idea if they would leave a gap or close the gap from the wheel to the wheelwell. That's why I baought GC's so that I can really close the gap.

Rep Power: 0 You will find that most people who get or have coil overs, will eventually get some springs and struts.
And Dakota, that rocks man, I feel the same away about helping people out on this site. People do talk a lot
of sh*it on here sometimes though, but I guess that's the nature of the beast. I'm not certified or a mechanic,
I have just played around with these little Hondas since I was 16. Glad to have you around.....!!

I liked how your car looked so much that I just had to get the same springs. Thanks for the input.

let me know when you get them so we can put them on. It should only take a couple of hours.

Rep Power: 0 << hey dakota, what are the heights of those springs bro. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] >>
1.5 front and back. I have the same springs. I highly recommend them if you want a nice and smooth ride with the perfect looking drop. Anything lower and you will regret it.
