Midori Green Hatch Gets New Suspension.
My boy Keenan and I installed my new suspension today, I had STECHs on oem struts and it rode nice but the handling and drop where no where near what I had on my old DA, so I was unhappy.
So I got exactly what I wanted illuminas, with ground custom rate ground controls, and extended top hats.
(not fully assembled)
The old drop.
new drop
fitting them
do not mind the dirty bay
Needs to be washed
I am VERY happy with this setup, it rides extremely well and is good on corners but I need some better tires to really open it up

Yea its pretty much exactly where I want it, getting an alignment this week and having my toe set to 0 all around.
Black after market lugs one that require a key. I know someone that got their SI wheels stolen using all oem lugs.

Re: Midori Green Hatch Gets New Suspension. (Deano_D aka "Brick Top")
it rides like a Lexus for how low it is. it was also one on the easiest suspension swaps i've done.
man Dino i might have to put the konis and neuspeeds on soon man, i'm kinda jealous now, ha

Re: Midori Green Hatch Gets New Suspension. (Civic138)
Man, I'm really glad your car turned out good. The drop looks great, and I really love the "rake" (front sits lower). Did you make sure to reset all your suspension bushings? It's important to do that before you get that alignment...
