A couple of people were interested to know about the Neuspeed springs i put on - here's a pic of before and after - the ride is slightly stiffer than stock, but hardly noticeable at normal driving - they are progressive, so obviously the ride stiffens up as you start to push it. I'm enjoying them. Stock shocks, new springs and a really good set up (as regards camber, toe etc. etc.)

Before:


After:


Completely unrelated, but i don't care:





It's achieved the kinda drop i was after - i didn't want my car to look slammed - i wanted it to look like it should have done in the first place.

I'm not looking for comments - good or bad (Graf-fiti, S2Killa - i'm looking at you...)

nice!!! do you have a side shot????

 

what kind of strut bar is that? the J's combo?

 

the front dosent look to diffrent but the rear looks way better NICE JOB

 

Cheers - yup, in the pic the fron looks a little higher, but it actually sites really even - also it looks lower in person - i guess it's the angle of the photo's

yup - it's the J's combo (though i bought them at seperate times, you know so as to spend a bit extra!!) - pretty pleased with how it went together - just waiting to put on the J's CF radiator cooling plate to finish the engine bay off.
Next: 4.44 gears, and a HKS exhaust (i know, i know)

yup:



The front is a touch higher, but i'm a big fan of that - it means when i slam on the brakes, i still got a tiny bit of clearance for the bumpy stuff!

 

moist

only thing is, after all that work, i keep getting these tiny little shiny wet patches in the middle of the passenger seat - especially after a few VTEC hits - hmmmmm...

 

ha i think you need to join the berlina mob....you have our type of sense of humor

 

hmmm - i remember what happened to the last poor ba$tard that tried to join a club!

what numbers you got on offer?

 

008+

 

8 it is.
Did you notice the shiny J's headers in those pics? - after fitting them, me and the mechanic sat there watching them change coloour with the engine running - how sad is that? nice headers though.. i recommend them.

 

they are nice....little pricey though


i'd rather save for boost personally..... but you probably get better prices based on your location hey?

agreed - i'm gonna keep this one fairly stock and try to stick to j's for the upgrades. I get my stuff pretty cheap in NZ - a lot cheaper than in US (for a change!)
Also, I am determined to be the first person ever to get a performance gain out of a HKS exhaust - you just watch!
mine's starting to feel like it's boosted anyway!

 

good ****. glad to see ur happy with them. i got espelirs i wanted a lil more drop.

 

looks really good. im jealous on all of your j's parts. im seriously tempted to buy some neuspeed springs for the time being for my car as opposed to full coilovers

 

i'm surprised none of these people that viewed this got a jdm boner because it's rhd....

 

hes from australia, thats why

 

auckland is New Zealand, not Australia. Damn Aussies always taking Kiwi credit.

 

yup - New Zealand - Auckland, where it never, ever snows (S2000 all year round!)

i bought the Nuespeeds for exactly the same reason, but i'm pretty stoked with them - one of the best drops i've had, so i will have to be really bored (and have spare cash around) to go for coilovers anytime soon.

 

you have a complete J's setup and you're going to go with an hks exhaust???

haha what the hell man?

 

I AGREE... you need to get a j's 70rs or 70rr. please dont get an hks, or just sell me your j's parts
