Hey Naz!
Welcome to the site! I think you'll find that we're a great and helpful bunch of people! So if you ever have an questions or need any help for anything don't be shy! By the way, we usually meet every friday night in front of the wind tunnel at the airport, hand out there for about an hour or so, go to dinner, and after that we head off to M&M (merivale and meadowlands) where every friday night there are big car meets... all sorts, domestic and imports. just check out the Friday Night thread at the top!
I used to drive a 2k2 Si Veloz, but recently sold it and got a 93 240sx... As you can see, i still hang around this forum cause the people here are awesome! And i can still somewhat be useful for helping out when installing some mods... he he

Rep Power: 0 Welcome to the forum, I really wish I had a sound system 
I've owned 3 cars to date and none of them have even had a cd player in them. I drive a tercel, and every full moon a white laser.

Rep Power: 0 mine was a 92, with the crappy 2.6L 4 banger. Nothing on it worked, asides from the head on collisions with a few large rocks and an assortment of other things that dont move when you hit them, it was really tough :P

Rep Power: 0 thanks for the welcome man...yeah i live in kanata but im always at carleton university, so you'r probably more likely to see my car around campus or near the bank/heron area. I'll keep an eye out for your ride too, how do you like the 18s on the ride? did you get it lowered?

Rep Power: 0 my car looks stock, its an 04 civic SiG coupe in silver, you'll always see it in front of the unicentre, i park it right out front all the time, like in the place where there is only room for 4 spots right outside architecture. Its got tints, but when you come back in september it will have 17 inch konig verdicts and be lowered by 2 inches hopefully.
Does anyone know where i can get my springs and camber kit installed here, really good and cheap?

Thats your own personal opinion Shane. I've been driving on that for 3 years no problems. Some people don't have the money for coilovers, and if they DID then you wouldn't be able to drive in the winter b/c they would seize. Unless you forked out $2400 for KW's. Last time I checked most people didn't have a money tree in their backyard
If you just want a nice drop and don't want to raise and lower your car, then get springs. If you have some extra money left over, then you can purchse a nice set of shocks/struts. But IMO you don't need them unless your struts blow. If you own coilovers and keep your care at the SAME height all the time it's a watse of money IMO.Edit: By the way did I mention (Charles i saw your post) if your shocks are not blown there is NO point in getting new shocks. Why waste the money?

the only things that were bought used from people that we didn't know were the hood and turbo. that just my 2 cents. You wanna mod your car and don't have a money tree then buy used. As far as getting the work done some people on the site may be willing to help you out and do it with you. As far as shops go I am not to sure. There is a DIY section on the site and I am sure there is one for lowering your car. Why not try doing it yourself?
