new suspension :) Me & My friend's Mickey & Martin put in my brand new Koni KYB AGX 4-Way adjustable struts & Eibach Pro-Kit on my 01' Civic HFP.
It lowered a LOT! but i love it! it's got a bad *** stance to it, madd low on the front & not too low in the back.
i def. recommend those struts & springs!
good stuff! handeling excellent!

a lot of people like to upgrade their suspension to eliminate the dive, but sounds like you got permanate dive on yours. Dont you wish it was lower like the front to be uniform?

Rep Power: 407 Koni and KYB; two different companies.
Prokit is low? No way, only minor drop.
Needs couple days for springs to be settled, then get alignment done.

Rep Power: 364 haha, fvck if I know. I used to want to be a big graff head and then decided to move on to otherthings like making songs. I got done detailing after I got my car and was drivng around downtown before I had to drop my vic off for its 60k service. Found some graff about 50 ft in from the road next to the railroad tracks, backed up next to it and snapped a few shots. Cant read it. I think I have another pic if you want to try to decifer it yourself. I still got love for graff heads though. In your pics I can see some writing, whats up with that- PM me.
ha, damn dude... someone gave you negative rep.. was it because of this thread? To take pics its really quite simple... turn on, snap, connect to computer, upload, paste link... 15 minutes tops.

i didn't know that either, i thought kyb's are a different company from Koni's. I know they make koni yellows and blues for our cars. I have the koni yellows (adjustable...soft-firm, not 4 or 5 or 6 way) with the eibach sportlines. I like how it rides, i set to soft and it rides almost like stock, nice and smooth, if i set it to firm...then it rides like a champ. But i read in a tuner mag. that the pro kit goes best with the shocks i have. but they didn't mention the sportlines at all. anyways....PICS!!! i wanna see how low/high it sits compared to the sportlines.

Rep Power: 0 I havent had time man, i understand that it's easy... work & school aborbs my life, plus im waiting to get my new front tires before i do anything. Cuz the front ones look bad... and i want my car to look it's best on this site. I'm sure everyone understands that.
Buuut i didnt get neg. from this thread i got it from accidently posting a For Sale for my old rims on someone elses For Sale thread... they werent happy... lol
I have the Red KYB AGX's they are amazing! the 4 way adjustable is great, i have it on 2 and i can take turns goin 90 and cant even feel it it's amazing how nice the ride is too, i can almost say it's better than stock...
craaazy! pics will be posted on tuesday.

Rep Power: 261 btw, eibach pro kit doesn't make your ride low. There's still plenty of gap with the pro kit, or do you have the sportlines. Either way, it still leaves lots of gap imo.
oh, and to the guy that wrote the comment about the turtle with 2 heads, LMAO.
One last comment before I go. "This thread is useless without pics".

Rep Power: 0 Haha, yeah right you can't feel the turns at 90. That's a bunch of bs. You can almost say its better than stock????..lol. I know my suspension is better than stock without a doubt in my mind. I mean better than stock in ride quality and handling wise. I can definetly feel my turns at 90.

I mean it's a bit more bumpier... stock is no bumps no nothing. smooth. Mine is smooth but since i have it set on 2 i can feel a bit more of the bumps
so it's almost as good as stock.
as for the goin 90 on a turn... i absoutly did that, and if you need a video i sure can supply you with that.
and you are most def. wrong about the eibach.
because mine rides just perfectly along the trim of the tire. Perfect set lowering springs. It's not tuckin, it's not slammed... Juuuuust right!
and i have the sportlines.
so every ride is different, and it's not just the ride... it's who's behind the wheel.
chill out bro, i already explained why i didnt have the pics up yet...
Tuesday alright.
