Default Suspension/Engine work done! Pics!!!

Me and three friends have never installed springs, shocks, or headers before, we just used the tutorial off of bseries.net. Here are the outcomes: Neuspeed race springs on KYB GR-2 shocks, DC 4-2-1 CC header....

Price for one...and I didn't see myself using the adjustable shocks too often to get my money's worth. It rides really good considering how low it is. It's not much bumpier than stock. S2000s definitely ride rougher than I do.

So how hard was it to install a header for the first time? Especially since you got the A/C in the way. Good job though!

Hey your cars looking good. Looks just like mine, but my car is green. Hey we even broke the same bolt when putting the header on. At least it looks like you did form that engine pic. Doesn't it feel good to be able to do your own work on your car.

Unfortunately the GR-2 shocks are designed to be only slightly stiffer than stock, and not designed to take a drop of more than 1.5". I'm afraid those won't last very long w/ Neuspeed Race springs.

Bad *** ... that gives me a really good idea of what mine will look like when it is lowered. I have a black 95 GS-R. How do you like the CAI/Header combo?

I saw your GSR today in the Dalton parking lot. That **** looks really good in person. Where did you do the install at. Hunters Ridge parking lot or what?? Cause I have some adjustables for my GSR but I can't find a good place were I can install them.

Looks good, get a 97 Type-R lip on it and it will look even better.

Looks good. How's the ride, is it really harsh or is it good. Also what are the spring rates for the neuspeeds? like 270-300 lbs/in all around?

I believe Neuspeed Race is around 450-something in front and 300-something in back.

Super sweet! I can't wait 'til it warms up so my car will be that shiny again. What do you use to wash and wax your car?

Your car looks exactly like mine. I'm dropped on Eibach Prokits with Koni Yellows, so not quite as slammed. But my 95 GSR is black with the clears and pretty much clean and sleeper.
How is your paint in such good condition? All the 94-95 tegs I see have faded paint on the hood and roof, but maybe its because we're in Florida...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. The ride quality with the GR-2 shocks is pretty decent. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Only one problem: my car is too damn low! I shoulda known it would be this low, but I did it anyway. I scrape on everything. Hehe...RevHard, that's hilarious that you've seen my car. I live in Roanoke, so my friends and I did it in my garage. I couldn't believe how easy it was. It took us forever to do the first side, but once we knew how to do it, we had the other side done in 30min.
The header install wasn't too bad either. The main problem was getting the stock header out of there. Maneuvering the stock header out of the way was a pain. I didn't have to remove my radiator fans or anything though.
