sorry this isnt black centers. but it is polished lip. the face is diamond cut. 19 inch lowenhart ld1's. we were going to get black hre's with a polished lip, but my dad thought that might be too much for him. we did put one on the car and it was sick though, i highly recommend it. i dont remember the series, but it was a deeper polished lip and had a good amount of spokes.

what springs is he running?

I know of only a couple made for the RL, and the Eibachs make the rear look lower than the front.

Also, will a 01 front fit on a 98? hehe

here is mine now.. before all the planned work...

Chris,

He is running the eibach springs, and yes it is a little lower in the rear, but its not THAT bad. you are kinda stuck with em, because if you want wheels on the car, you need to lower it, and at the time anyways the only people who made them were eibach. I dont know if H&R or anyone makes them now. As for the 01 front, i think that may be more trouble than it's worth I do recommend the eibach springs/ comptech swaybars we have, and i wish that koni or someone made shocks for that car, but no such luck. Nice choice on the RL, looks real clean

looks like Comptech makes some springs, but I wonder who supplies them to Comptech?

no shocks available either.

i honestly think they are rebadged eibachs. i'm almost postive the springs for the integras from comptech are rebadged pro-kits. i'm not 100% though.

spring rates are (as told by local shop's supplier):

Comptech
Front: 360 lb/ft Linear
Rear: 125 lb/ft Linear.

Eibach
Front: 220 lb/ft Linear
Rear: 105-150 lb/ft Progressive

Looks like Ill just get the Eibach, because 360 Front is way too much for a luxury car.

Maybe there is a dead coil or 2 on the front springs I can cut to make it more even.

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on Stock shocks (Local Acura has them for "my price" of ~$150 each)?

My shocks are a bit loose.. after 100k miles I guess they would be..
