You guys are picking one those headlights? Whats wrong with them?

Im still amazed of your stiffness lol

I couldnt afford Azenis on the rear so I opted for them in the front with Ziexs in the back

Wow that's nice.

The Buddy Club suspension setup that I used to have on my Civic would get my car on 2 or 3 wheels whenever i'd go up a driveway or drive sideways over a speed bump Seesaw action if u know what I mean

nice car whats your footwork setup?

lack of suspension travel has nothing to do with spring/damper stiffness even if alot of top end racing coilovers feature ultra short strokes, but they're not meant for daily driving

my car was lowered on JICs and most of it came from the lower perch which allows me to maintain my spring preload and suspension travel

3-wheel action is caused by the rear swaybar, not by the spring/shock setup. The outside rear wheel suspension is compressed, and the swaybar causes the inside rear wheel to lift up, also. Actually a stiffer spring would help keep the wheel more planted, while a softer spring would allow the swaybar to lift the inside rear wheel more.

And you people that don't like his headlights, you all are on the "EG projector headlight hating" bandwagon. Seriously, why do EG projector headlights suck? Because most all of them use H3 projectors which totally suck for headlight use (meant for foglight use). Well he has BMW 5-series HID projectors in there, which makes them pretty damn awesome.

I tell you one thing, his headlights will OWN any other headlight setup that uses stock headlights, including HID in the stock headlights. HID in stock Civic headlights = teh suck

Not totally true. My Civic gets on 3 wheels w/o a rear sway bar. Has nothing to do with stiffness, as you said. It's due to the fact that I have very short stroke shocks with little droop travel. My springs need to be compressed slightly to get the top hat on with the perch all the way down.

Looks very clean, the headlights would look better if they were smoked or blacked out :shrugs: either way

The rest of the car is whoa!
