Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
You don't need the front camber toe bolts unless you are very low, lower than any set of standard springs will drop you. Just get a set of rear camber arms, Megan ones would work well for you. Megan is a budget company, but their stuff is surprisingly good quality and they use aluminium so there will never be corrosion issues.
Sometimes very old springs will begin to sag and cause the issues with ride height your experiencing, but if the springs are relatively new that's not the issue. More likely, the rear shocks are blowing or beginning to blow and that's causing the sag. Upgrade the shocks and struts to tokico blues and that should even out the height

wow thanks!
Im waiting on some neuspeed sport springs. Once those come in, ill probably invest in some shocks right after if the sag doesnt change. As for the megan camber kit, ive been looking at those exact ones for a while now and this just gives me more reason to invest in them.
Thanks man, you've been very helpful

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
then keep saving money untill u can get struts as well
youre going to spend more time and money replacing and reinstalling new struts when ur OEM sturts blow out. (especially if u are lowering it 2"....your struts will blow in a few months)

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
hmm. when I looked up that setup it said that was only good up to a 2" drop thats why I didnt think about going that route. But if its capable of up to a 4in drop seems like a good way to go about dropping it.
http://www.ground-control-store.com/...p/II=520/CA=55
look on their site and it says that setup is only good for up to a 2.5" drop. Or am I looking at the wrong setup? I just wanna do as much research I can before I make a purchase and have it not be what I want.

If you seriously want to go that low, definitely go Koni/GC.
When you order the Ground Controls, request springs 1" shorter than standard, and 500/550 spring rates to prevent the dampers from bottoming out.
Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
I love the blacked out rims man, somethin about an all black honda that just looks great. get some ground effects in the right color and it'd be real sweet on the road at night

Late reply,
Installed the neuspeed sport springs. They are amazing. There's a one finger gap all around. I ended up having to get new rear shocks and a rear camber kit. Blew the stock shocks within a week of installing the neuspeeds and the camber looked really bad when walking by my car. Still running snow tires on my stock rims. Will post pictures with my summer rims in a month or so... or whenever the trees start to blossom.

Before (Stock)

After (Skunk 2 Pro-S2 / Rear and front camber kits were needed) Tires / Rims are 215/45/17. Fenders are also rolled (to removed any rubbing)

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
When I got it, suspension was stock (damn thing looks like it was lifted lol). Got some Eibach Sports & some Koni Srt-t struts. Overall about a 2" drop, I do plan to go lower in the future but in the mean time, I'm happy with it. + it rides like a caddy

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post
There's no coilover worth purchasing in the $500 range, save your money or pick up something used.
Koni STR and a set of lowering springs would be a good pairing, right around that price.

Being in the import business for many years I know the mark ups. Price doesn't mean quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
