Re: (civics4lyfe)
icm motorsports, i painted it with milano red spray paint, came out pretty good.
im thinking about lowering my car a little more, would that effect this positively or negatively? (just trying to think, since the angles change considerably [at the LCA]when you raise/lower your car)

depending on where it hits but it will probably make it hit sooner because it will be closer.
I had the same problem with a gsr sway bar and my 2.5" exhaust.

Re: (civics4lyfe)
I'm at work right now but I can tell you its lowered about 1.5"on h&r stage 2 springs with tokica illumina struts, I'll post more pics later. But its barely even lowered right now it actually looks like a normal car, before it looked like a monster truck.

Re: (obuhmyuh)
on the topic of lowering the car... does your aftermarket shocks rub the steel brake line anywhere? i have a set of koni w/ coilovers on my car, and i lost my brakes due to the rear passenger side rubbing a hole in the line. my friends integra was rubbing the same on the rear drivers side... is that just our fault due to we put the suspensions on ourselves with little knowledge of how to... or does it do it on yurs too?
a new brake line wasnt that much, but its the fact that i had a 15 minute drive home with no brakes...lol

yeah im gonna lower it more. i think im just gonna buy some H&R race springs for like 185 bucks and rip my old ones off.
and yes, I LOVE BLACK RIMS, but just black, I hate the whole black/chrome ****. And I love the OEM look, but I think I'm gonna get some time attack color schemed rims...

your only hope is to get the exhaust redone, i never had a chance to do it and it eventually went away, im sure either my exhaust or sway bar or both has a nice sized dent in it.

Re: (bonh)
Had the exact same problem with my tie bar hitting my exhaust. Took it to a muffler shop and they just welded in a new short piece of pipe to allow the exhaust to clear the bar. Cost me only about $25-40.
