Default Nico's suspension install......

Well Nico just got these K-Sport coils, and we decided to install them. Needless to say it was going pretty good until we had to make a trip for some nuts for the bolts no mount the LCA's and the struts together. The greatest thing ever happened, some numb nuts stole something and ran out of the store badass. He or she took forever to get into the car and the guy who was working there got the plate down so there screwed....LOL
The suspension install was pretty straight forward with no problems until one of the front upper bolts stripped . Spugen to the rescue!
I busted out the cut off grinder and chopped that bish. Nico jumped like a lil girl when he saw the sparks LOL!!!
- Overall suspension felt great and you can hardly feel the bumps, Id highly recommend it to everyone.























You owe me Nico....

Nice install, and Im wondering as well how much these cost ya and where to get them.

Also, is this the actual suspension you installed?

Cause I knotice these are for Type R Lca's (rears) and the ones u installed were for civics

Looks pretty. Hate doing suspension work, especially when the strut separates.
