a few thoughts...

1. Before and After should be the same thread. You're keeping us hanging until Tuesday??
2. Personally, I like the fat fives much better. To each his own though, of course.
3. What tires are you gonna be using?
4. LOWER YOUR CAR, it'll handle better and look better as well.

Tires are 205 40 16 Nexen


I have some cheap Ebay coil overs but really don't want to install them since everyone is doggin' them on the their bouncing.
Gonna try to find some used Skunk's or ground Force springs. I just can't stomach paying full price for springs, especially when i know I need new struts as it is. The rear end rides hard on stock springs.

The Fat Fives, I'm keepin' them just in case I don't like the new ones. Just trying to get something a little different than the rest of the Teg's around town. I like the Fat fives ok, they definatley look better when the car is lowered and definately lighter than the 16" wheels

Yeah, PLEASE don't ride with eBay springs on stock shocks, that's about the worst ride possible.

Yea, i have them on now. They look good but it does need to be lowered BADLY. The wheels look much smaller when I have all that wheel gap.
I would post pics BUT my work computer won't let me into my email today. Our systems SUCK!

I know it needs to be lowered but I wanted to install the wheels first and then save for the coil overs and shocks. I need shocks for sure,the rear are shot.

I finally got web access to our work email and have the pics uploaded.
Here ya go

It's funny cause it's true.

If anyone wants to donate a set of decent coil overs to the cause i will GLADLY lower it. But for now all I have available is a set of cheap Ebay coil overs and the shocks are already shot as I said so it would be a rough ride. I thought it was high for a Integra too when I got it. From what I can tell from subtle clues on the car, it was modded before and then returned to stock before selling to the owner before me. From what I was told the previous owner was sold the car as a GSR with a GSR motor in it. Not until he opened the hood in front of his friends did they laugh at him and tell him he had been take advantage of. At least he was honest to me when he sold it to me.
So I figure it was on Coil overs at one time and then raised back up so who knows how it got so high. Funny cause the tires are 205/40/16's so they are larger than the 195's that were on it on the fat fives. Should look a little better with a slightly taller tire, but it looks worse.
Just need to drop it I know.

Here is my Volvo when it was dropped.




Now that was a rough ride. But look tough.
