Default Ordered '06 Tein S-Tech's for a LX coupe...

SHOWSTOPPERSUSA.Com

Cheapest price, cheapest shipping, best customer service.

I originally ordered from ProStreet. But then canceled it for bad customer service.

Pics in a few days!

Also, when are full coilovers coming out? I wanna get those as soon as they come out.

Cool. I spoke with showstoppers today, talked with three different people. two told me eibach sportlines were in stock for my ex, the other checked and said all they had were prokits. anyway, i ordered sportlines through 8thcivic.com for $199, free shipping. i wanted teins too, but the spring rates for those are for SI's, and i dont think you will see the full lowering potential in the 1.4/1.3 drop because of the weight differences between the Non-SI and SI Civics. The sportlines however are for non-Si's, and I think 1.4" will at least absorb all the fender gap, perhaps making the slightest but of tuck on the front--Brian

2 finger gap in the rear, 1 finger gap in the front, let me go take pics...

Install is cake! Took 40 minutes. The rest of the time was spent running errands. LOL!

was the install hard at all?

did you need to get new struts? alignment?

and do you think that the install would go well for some one that doesnt have much experiance with cars?
