Progress Coilovers installed!
I finally got off my lazy *** and installed the coilovers that have been sitting in my closet collecting dust. Started running low on time so it still doesn't have an alignment done yet but all I can say is DAMN! I'm sitting about 4-5 inches off the road and the last 30 minutes of driving have been pure enjoyment.
Since the car is still caked in mud from my off road experience last week I'll post pics as soon as I get it washed and have some daylight.

Rep Power: 0 Here's the pics. It's not daylight yet and the car is still dirty but you get the idea. The ride is pretty solid but it's got toe in on the left front so alignment needs to be done badly.

Rep Power: 0 To Vietsylez: I was thinking a good lightweight wheel/tire setup for racing purposes; i.e. autocross and track events such as Nurburgring...And they were cheap! This is not, I repeat, NOT A SHOW CAR!!!
To centurioncivic: No I won't slam them but they have another 2-2.5 inches of travel. I bought them from dezodmotorsports.com(shameless plug) You will wind up reusing the stock top hats & sleeves but if you have a spring compressor handy there's nothing to it.

Rep Power: 0 That's not rust. Took those pics at 4 am and the car was covered in dew and dirt. I have since given it a wash and it looks much better.

Rep Power: 0 It's lower. I've got it dropped about 2" from stock. They are ride height adjustable and I can take the car so low that the stock scissor jack barely comes out from underneath.

Glad you like. See, another satisified customer. Progress just made headlines this month with the tC and their coilovers. It almost out handled an EVO MR. This month's Sport Compact.
'November's issue of the article explaining how to install major suspension mods. On the skidpad the stock tC went around at a .82g's. After the suspension mods, it shot up to .91g's and the speed went from 66.1 went up to 71.9mph which is just .4mph slower than the EVO MR they tested.'

Rep Power: 0 I believe that Dezod. Even when I start to break grip now all I have to do is let up a little on the throttle and the car goes right where I want it to. There's an Autobahn interchange I used to take at 65 mph that I'm now taking at 70+ mph.
Next up, Nurburgring Nordschleif.
