Looking pretty sick so far! tuck the rear wheels though IMO. It's sitting too high in the back, for the front to be that tucked. Good luck with the build!

Mikey, thanks she was a real blast to drive and what got me hooked on Honda. She was my first car and when I bought the chassis I was just looking for something reliable.. I had no idea it would get so out of hand heh.

JDMTurbo, I knew it wouldn't be long before someone mentioned that. I'm borrowing a fender roller tomorrow, fear not.

Got that roller.. Thats as low as the rear will go with the suspension that's in there.. its sitting on the huge oem bumpstops. Though realistically that is probably only slightly higher then the height I will actually drive at. I should be borrowing an impact soon to get that seized bolt out and put my pro-s coils in.

@ notEurophreesh, Yeah the headlights are swirled pretty badly by the previous owner. The one that's in the picture I've sanded with 2000grit and used Meguiars PlastX on it, and it IS better, but still not that great. I'll probably just buy new headlights, there is no substitute.

@ jtuned_eg6, I couldn't ask for better fitment haha.

@ ALLxMOTOR EG, 91redteg, Jintegragsr97, Thanks for the comments!

So I only got around to doing the one rear quarter yesterday, I'll probably do the drivers side fender tonight, and the other side towards the end of the week. I'll be borrowing an impact probably tonight and see if I can crack that strut bolt loose from the bushing. The bolt turns freely from the nut, but it springs back because its seized in the bushing sleeve haha. I think it should bust free with some power. Should be picking my engine up from the machine shop on friday as well.

If you want the rear to sit lower you could just remove the top collar and let the spring sit on one collar instead of two. It will lower the rear about a 1/2" more. Car looks good, can't wait to see the outcome.
