I only installed my WW RS front lip on my 4th gen prelude with 3M double sided tape, it came off and I drove over it on the highway, turned around and picked it back up, went home and screwed it on and it had no damage. Poly ftw.

I couldn't believe how clean they were, they're not perfect, but they came with Raybrig Thunder S in them and that was the best part, they're worth more than the headlights. I'm saving them though and using PWJDM hyper whites (discontinued. ebay ftw).

Mine aren't too bad.. a little on hazy side. I too got some PWJDM H4H buls too. They are decent.

BUT.. on a bright note, I found a brand new in the box lower console and a CF spoiler I'm picking up this weekend

Buddy Club N+ gets my vote. Comfortable, great handling, long lasting, rebuildable right here in the US, ride height adjustable without changing spring preload, anodized for long lasting finish and 15 levels of damping adjustment.

I was thinking about that! Does the top mount thing makes a difference? And what online store has the best deal on this suspension?

Whenever my car transitions out of being my DD and into toy mode, The N+ will be what I go with.. or Progress because I think they make a good product too.


On a side note, I won't be doing much of anything come a few weeks.. I got my laser eye surgery scheduled for the 9th of April

Well if you don't have to have a "JDM" coilover, PIC hands down make the best all around coilovers, good priced, comfortable, and good quality, I've had alot of coilovers including the buddy clubs, and PIC takes it home,

And I can't belive you said buddy clubs were comfortable, those are some of the most uncomfortable coilovers I've ever rode on, lol

Its a more direct connection which translates into more direct feedback from the road which are also because of the urethane bushing. You won't really feel it as its a minor difference but to me it just looks "complete" with it.

Yeah Progress has high raves in the community, I have no experience with them but they are a good suspension company that have been around for a while and with the softer rates that they offer I'm sure you'll be happy with the ride quality.

I like PIC, I wanted to get a set for a good while. BoostinEJ1 had a set for his EK and said that they rode really harsh and uncomfortable. He had a few people ride and say the same thing. It could of been a "bad set" since I have heard that they ride well so its tough to really say with mixed reviews.

Buddy Club N+ are well known for having a good ride though, I'm not sure why you felt yours was that uncomfortable? A lot of guys I've talked to love the ride, from EP3 to EG/EK/DC to RSX.

Yeah I'm sure they were lol, what rates were they? You have to remember that most performance coilovers are equipped with stiff rates so to compare so its important to pick the right application.

The Raybigs are much, much better bulbs. They shine much further and spread the light at a wider angle. I don't know exactly how much life is left in them, but I wanted to try the pwjdm hyper whites i got off ebay, and they actually look better imo aesthetically, they're very white. But they function like any other cheap bulb. I bought them for a backup pair since you can't go to the store and buy h4h. I know you can dremel a h4, but whatevs.

I have GC's 450F/350R right now, and it's a great for DD.. I had looked into the Progress at the 500F/350R, and for the price, it seems like a good pick up at $600.
