I've heard mixed opinions / reviews about Omnipowers coilovers. How many miles have you covered and how long have you had them?

As far as I know the benefits of coilovers, other than adjustability is that they can be serviced. At least I know that applies for TEIN and D2 coilovers.

This is a good example of how NOT to mount your exhaust.

Thanks for the pics. You should try and cut that out a little bit where it melted and sand it down. I think that it could look pretty nice.

Thats the same size I have so I would think that you are pretty low for DD and definantly lower than the shocks like.

Your springs are probably fine but your shocks may be going out.

There is a chain called muchas gracias, closest to authentic since my friends mom moved to texas, and there are soooooo many mexicans up here, for some reason oregon appeals to them

Tokico has a similar void on their warrenty and mine are fine

Ok so enough gay **** LOL....here's a before and after teaser of one of macho's old headlightsa that several of you thought would be unsalvageable:
Passenger side befores:




Passenger afters:

AFTER ONLY 1 ROUND


AFTER 3 rounds(may do another 1 or 2 to get them as blinging as possible):


for full link go here:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2139543

they aren't totally perfect like my originals were(how they doing barry?....haven't seen too many pics of them), but they are well above average and in another world compared to what they were.

by far the most labor intensive headlight restoration I've ever done, but if I were to consider that 120 I saved over the average price of decent(NOT EVEN MINTY like these are now close to) jdm headlights as cost of labor...I'd be making about 60/hour LOL
