no one can tell you how its going to look... each car is different.. depending on shock wear and tear, I.C.E. , sedan , or coupe.... just get the coilovers on and pick your height.

you gotta play with height to see what kind setting you like.
its easy to adjust anyway

so if i re-adjust the height, is that means need to re-alignment again?

also one friend installed Tein basic already, he had some problem cuz he used stock base mount, when he jacked up the car, it move, and makes the noise when turn. ( is that means tein spring is small, OEM civic spring is bigger so that mount wont fit right?), anyone can solve this problem, or just get the Tein base mount (pilloball) to fit it right?

thanks,

everytime you readjust the height you will need new alignment.
hmm stock uppermounts worked perfectly fine. no noise.
