Default Ground Controls and more installed: Pics inside

Well I installed my Ground Controls, Tokico struts, slotted rotors, Endless pads, and Neuspeed strut bar, but my 16" Rota C8's have yet to arrive... Tires came (205/40ZR16 Kumhos) but still no wheels. Anyway, here are some pics of my car before and after the coilovers, even though the car is dirty as hell:

before:


after:




and a pic of the engine bay for your amusement:


The header (Chikara) and plug wires (Accel) were on the car when I bought it
But the motor will be outta there before summer replaced by a JDM B18C

that looks great man! How many inches drop was that? I want to drop my car that much but just with lowering springs.

Nice job!

Also the car is getting a new paintjob (same color) within the next 2 weeks... I'm shaving all emblems and painting all moldings

Well the coilovers can still go down another inch so I'd guess it's about a 2.5 inch drop right now

May I suggest Flamenco Black Pearl? It's an O.E Honda color, and that's what I painted my old 1992 black Si whe I had the outside redone. You don't even have to jam it at all - nobody will know the difference

It's the same color as the 99-00 Civic Si and 2000 Integra Type R. It has not nearly as much metallic in it like Grenada Black Pearl - Grnade looks like black cherry in the sunlight.

Your choice though - just a suggestion.

Tom,
What do you mean by "jam it"? I plan on re-painting my coupe (eventually!) and I like FBP.
thanks.

Oh, gotcha. Thanks. I planned on completely stripping it like he did his car anyways, but that is a good point.

Looks nice...I was wondering how off ur camber was? When I had GCs on my 98 coupe...i had to invest in front and rear camber kits...cuz it was pretty off...even with an approximate 1.8-2'' drop. Thanks.

pretty low there, you might roast your front tires with a 7" wide rim and a 40 series tire while driving with that much camber up front.....
just a FYI ya know...

looks a little low. Not that it looks bad, but you'd be amazed at how well it will ride if you raise it up just a little. What springrates did you get?

BTW, it's going to look sweet with the C8's!
