Only the 01 LX didn't come with a sway, if memory serves.

What the **** is a VP, I here people talk about them but they were never sold in Canada. Is it like a DX with a couple extra options?

True, the VP is one of the basic models, so it does not come with rear sways

Just put the C8Sport coilovers on today, and they ride and perform awesome.
Lot more room for even more drop as well, what do you guys think, leave it as is, even it out a bit more, or even lower? Car is my DD. (Sorry to hijack thread, but didn't think it was necessary to start a new one.)
Think I can afford a bit more negative camber in the rear if I want to take it down more without rolling fenders. Just did a quick guesstimate alignment in my driveway. Other side is the same.

That looks great!

Do you have a link to the C8 coilovers?

Thanks, I love how they ride, just about to lower the rear 1/4".
All adjustments can be made ON THE CAR, which is definitely beneficial.

Best price I found was from Car Shop USA.
http://www.carshopusa.com

Most sellers would only send with UPS, but Car Shop was willing to send them with USPS, which saved me a lot with importing fees.

Just make sure you specify whether you need 14mm or 16mm lower strut mounts for the front when ordering.

Their customer service seems to be pretty quick to respond to questions, however, they are limited with the knowledge of technical questions regarding their products. For more advanced questions it seems they escalate the e-mail to another section of customer service which can take additional time for a response, but will be answered accordingly.

Re-adjusted and did alignment today.
Fronts and rear, no pre-load. All three rings still on.
No threads left on front, and 1/4" in rear. Slight rake.

Half of me says leave it, and the other half says..LOWER! haha.
Think this height is pretty practical actually.
I JUST clear driving out of my driveway anyways.

UPS importation fees are nuts, shops that are willing to ship USPS are great for Canadians, I've saved tons on my shipping that way.

That's the perfect height IMO, gives it some style without slamming it and destroying the handling.

Hi-jack away buddy! I still haven't been able to afford my struts yet. I'll repost as soon as I can afford the upgrade
