Smile New suspension on my Coupe!

I got tired of the stance and handling quality of the Dropzone springs I had, so I installed Neuspeed Race springs, which in difference to the previous ones that had a level 2.0" drop all around, have a 2.25" front/2.0" rear drop.

This helps overcome the butt-sag stance you get from level drops (the Civic has a larger front well, so you need a suspension that slightly rakes the drop to compensate for this and look right). Anyway, the "Race" series springs are yellow vs. their "Sport" ones that are green, and have a better spring rate for handling. I am very pleased with this setup.

Before...



After...




I will finally get my digicam this weekend, so much better hi-res pics are sure to come. I am really enjoying the handling & ride now!

17"x7" REV Xs In Gunmetal with polished lip, and tires are 215/45/17 Wanli S1088s. I love them so far. They really let the 1.7L's power be free, since they only weigh 16.3lbs each. Great wheels!
