I emailed the comapny on my previous post and requested pics of the coil overs.

I hope you guys are going to get a vendor membership so you can sell them here. A group buy would be great, and I would buy them in a heart beat.
Thanks, I am looking at the vendor membership options right now. As far as the upper bearings I believe it was sometime in the middle of the 02 model year Honda changed the suspension? I have a had a couple of customers with late 02 models and I THINK a customer with an 03 model purchase these.

Rep Power: 416 hm... why would we need upper mounts(for the guy who asked about 01 vs 02s)? from the pics it looks like it comes with them. Do they come with them?
Are the upper rubber or poly?
Can you get a better picture of the front steering arm?
Whats the min-max drop on these?
Is the warranty still 3 months or was it changed to 1 year?

Rep Power: 416 -Just to be clear so its a direct swap right(because you were answering the question about bearings. When i read that I got the impression that it wasnt a direct swap)
-I'm also guessing they come with their own bumpstops?
-Do you know if these Struts are shorter than stock? Reason why i ask is i had ground controls before and i would bottom out like crazy when i dropped it down to like 2.5" up front. If the struts were shorter it would allow more travel so that i wouldnt bottom out.
-Also can we safely drop it down to 4". Because just cause the threads go down to 4" doesnt mean we safely can. Is there a limit to how low we can drop it. Say we drop it to 4" and the shock blows, would it still be covered under warranty?

Sorry if it seems like i'm interrigating you. Just want to clear things out for everyone. But ya I do appreciate you coming onto this site to answer our questions. Its always nice to see companys coming to this site and clearing up any questions/concerns/rumors.

There are bumpstops
I don't know about the strut length but the nice thing about a full coilover system is all the components are made to work together unlike a coilover sleeve/strut combo. It would only make sense for them to be shorter than stock.
Dropping to 4" is not a problem

Sorry I'm a newbie to suspension. So basically these would be ALL we need for a complete, properly done drop, right? No shocks, no springs, no camber kit, no other little unanticipated parts, etc., correct?

I hate UPS. Mine were supposed to come in today, but the driver said "nobody was available". He didn't leave a slip or anything, and there was 3 people home, and the door was open. So mine will be coming Monday. Formal complaint has been filed

Rep Power: 419 Looks good. Really good actually. I need better pics though. I also want to confirm if there's a front camber plate. Doesn't look like it though. 
As for them being billet... Not true. They're not aluminum. You usually make things be billet from aluminum. They're either high strength steel or stainless steel. I see welds, so it's not billet. Three locking rings is a good thing though. I like that.
I'de get the RSX ones though (the ones with the higher spring rates).

Rep Power: 416 whether or not it has a camber plate your still going to need a rear camber kit.
yup the 3 locking nuts is just lovely... that and it having top mounts is an advantage over the tein basics..
