Cool Coilovers Installed (PICS)

Well about 2 weeks ago I got my Neuspeed strut bar and Tein Basic Coilovers installed. First I want to thank Jason(InanimateCarbonRod) for all his help with this, without him it wouldn't have been done. Anyways, the ride is way better then the one I had with my H&R springs. Now dont take me wrong the ride with the springs was better then stock, but these coilovers not only ride smooth but let the car sit a lot lower then before.

Under the Hood

Lowered

Nah, don't go lower. It looks sporty now. Any lower would look ghetto. Looks nice!

very nice. i think i'm gonna get a black neupeed bar instead of a polished one too.

Hey, someone told me the bar doesn't help as much as a rear strut tower bar. Did you get a chance to test the bar with and without it after the Tein drop? Did it make a significant difference like the rsx swar bar, or nearly nothing.

Thanks for the compliments guys. As for going lower, I have to drive some really crappy streets on a daily basis and i am cutting it close now.
DuYaKnow - I got to drive the car for about 2 weeks before the Tein's went on and as for the bar alone I did notice a difference as soon as it was on. I do a lot of highway driving and felt less "play" in the steering when I was weaving in an out of traffic. Since I put the Teins on the car handles better, even my wife commented on how much smoother it is driving when you have to switch lanes and such.

Nice, but go lower and set the struts on stiff so you dont bottom out.

I got the basics, no way to set stiffer, just ride height adjustable

Looks great! But take that K&N off before it ruins your engine. Those filters suck, and believe me I know.
