Your car looks tight. What type of springs did you use?

Greg, car looks great! Are you still running altezzas on the rear? I think incas look god awful with altezzas! The color is was too mystic to put alot of chrome on! I think some nice dark gun metal wheels or some pewter or white like 01incas look way cool! But i give you all the credit in the world for making that color appealing! Nice work![IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]Dakota

Greg-
Nice wheels!

What do you think about those Progress springs? Give a good ride? I was looking at them the other day and was wondering. And if they're good do you have any other Sups. upgrades?

you need a camber kit with those progress springs...i ruined a pair of toyos before i learned...take a look at your back tires..they will wear out on the inside ..you wont notice if you dont get down and look from the back[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

I dont think I need a camber kit. Last summer I ran the my other 17's the whole summer and drove 2000 mile to Nopi nationals and the tire's are still like new. As long as I get one summer out of the tires I'm happy. I never run the same rims 2 summers in a row anyhow. Actually this will be the first car I've ever owned 2 summer in a row.

greg- think twice about taking off the sunroof visor. I took mine off, and there are all these scratches from the rubber. They are really bad too. Some are to the primer.

Greg, did you cut any coils on the back set of springs.
I have progress spring also but on my car there was a unsightly gap between the fender and my tires.
I have 17/215/45 on my car.
Your car looks very nicely lowered...

Yes its a OEM front lip. I have the sides and rear also but dont have them on.

I like the color because its not blue or black like every other civic you see driving down the road.

tru that mah man... I have an inca too. I personally don't like owning a common, plain-jane color. too boring.
although that's not to say that i haven't seen a pimpin black, silver, or red civic.
my two favorite colors on the civic were the inca on the 01 and electron blue on the 99-00
IMO
