Re: New member with a 98 dx

Would you recommend those springs over the Eibach Pro Kit?

Also, where did you get the Control Arm's?

Re: New member with a 98 dx

I started my retrofit 2 weeks ago, I'm just waiting on some LED's to arrive so I can finish it up. So in the mean time I bought a EX gauge cluster and put some LED strips in it

There are a few spots where I have to move the led strips, but overall I'm happy the way it came out

Re: New member with a 98 dx

Sweet retrofit. I recently did the Morimoto Mini D2S's on mine. But, I am looking to upgrade to the FX-R like you have, or Acura TL projectors.

What bulbs are you using? I am using the Philips 85122's, but I want to upgrade to the Osram CBI's with a new projector set up.

Re: New member with a 98 dx

I'm going to be using Philip's 85122 + since I get real cheap from a friend that works at the dealer. TL's would be nice

Nice, can't wait to see the headlights finished. I did the Blackworks gen2 LCAs on my Integra, good so far.

Re: New member with a 98 dx

Today I decided to put on my new suspension. The driver side rear went pretty smooth, went to do the passenger side and I felt one of the bolts snap

Nice! Car looks mint. S-techs are legit with a nice shock, they offer a nice ride and decent drop for the money! GL
