just got my car lowered

and all i can say is what a BADASS look....

i bought Groundcontrol Coilovers and damn waht a nice and tight ride.... im not complaining.. at all.. these are probably the best to buy, im glad i didnt buy springs... b/c the TUCK that im getting is PRICELESS!!

i love em..... nice black car with a badass drop!!
i dont find the ride that harsh, my Neon was just as bad if not worse then this....

but then again my car Neon was dropped 3 times... hehe
i love it... now i gotta save for rims for next season!!

thanks for all the input guys...
oh yeah im not riding on the bumpstops b/c i got new ones!

you had a chance to crawl under that puppy MSoft since the drop??
if you have or plan on doing so..can you tell me what your rears look like??
i've got 5 of the 8 "rounds" touching..(5 coils)
you got the same?? or fewer??
curious as mine just seems a tad too low.........
gonna try wrapping a few of them with thick hose or something to lift it a bit..as it's sitting low w/o any weight added to the trunk..

thanx up front pal..

hey guys,

believe it or not, i got them for 500 bucks and since i needed the warranty, i let HONDA install them
everything costed me 800 bucks, it may be lots, but damn they arent that bumpy.... my Neon was bumpier b/c i had sportliones on it with KYB GR2 struts and 17's-so that = one bad combo!

i love em and my back tires are TUCKED and they dont rub at all, but we'll see about that if i go 18's
which im having doubts now b/c id rather throw a TURBO on for next year!

i wouldnt mind that, speed is better!
i got the coilovers at BRANTFORD HONDA!

even though i have stock 15's on them ( yeah i have an LX ) but who cares.... this LX took out a Prelude.. he was pissed (oh yeah this was highway with the defroster on-poor guy didnt know how to drive) my car rides like its on RAILS.... but u will love em...... HONEST take my word for it..... if u hit bumpy roads of TO, u will definately feel them...... the reason i went Coilovers b/c i can play with them, if im not content about the ride height ill adjust them!

best bang for your buck........ do it boys!

im glad i spent the extra money for them b/c if your not content, with the DROP-adjust them
if u think its too low-raise them!!!
