now my EK rides soooo much better. My buddy Eric over at supreme power parts hooked me up w/ some tokico illuminas (5 way adj) and some springs. Installed them tonight and can I say what a breeze it was to work on a Honda suspension after working on Audi suspension. Overall the car rides really nice, the drop was only 2.5" from my 4x4 stock suspension. Had the shocks set at '3' to get a feel for things. I'll set it to '5' and see if i notice a difference then down to '1'. But the car has a nice rake to it now, not slammed just looks better and ride better :D.

Then we took off the exhaust and installed the Apexi WS catback WOW! I can't even tell there's an exhaust it's dam quiet...i was a bit skeptical at first because "loud" is so relative to folks but when i put it on and drove around you can barely hear a low grumble. But that's it...perhaps after the system cures and burns itself in the tone might change but so far i'm very happy with it. Wonder how much different the sound will make after a b16 swap? hmmm.

Anyway, so far my daily/project car is taking shape and will make my daily commute that much more enjoyable! I'll post pics in the AM when the sun's out.

 

post pics of the drop

 

another one bites the dust

Oh yeah I thought my car was the **** when I got my SPRINT springs......I was rocking that BITCH, then I got my Teins...I was amazed!!!! then came a sway bar...HOLY ****!!! Its like sex when I drive the car...OKAY OKAY maybe not that good..hahah but its awesome, I need a front sway now...hehe....HAPPY MODDING!! and congrats!

 

tru tru it's all one big domino effect...you start w/ one suspension mod and then you quickly realize that there's something else that'll make the car drive/feel better.

I have to remind myself not to go too crazy as this is my daily! yeah right!

 

DAILY BEATEN!! hahaha

LOL You KNOW IT! :D

 

woooo now i like to do mine too...

noob alert!!!

what kind of sway's are you guys using? is there something would fit a 94 civic coupe? i have done spings and shocks on my car, now i know theres something more to do

 

your next purchase should be some thing to fix the camber you have just created .

 

i know that if they got to align it...the camber readings will be off but just from eyeballing it's not as bad as I had anticipated...

 

get an alignment...I didn't and I regreted it...I still am I go in for one this week I hope!!

I'm regretting not getting my car aligned when I dropped as we speak. Having to dump money into new tires sux!

 

congrats

did you install the headlights i sold you?

 

put it on but am undecided on whether or not i like it...

 

Painted the can so it's not so SHINY! Left the tip though.



From this


and the nice drop not slammed just right for daily driving

 

Id say thats less than a 2.5" drop. Maybe 1.5"...could just be me.

 

maybe you're right but dam i like the result. i'm sure there'll be some settling but not some crazy *** drop.

 

looks damn good

it might drop more once the springs settle

lets see those headlights

offtopic-you should paint your calipers a stockish looking color

yeah dont get me wrong, still looks great. Just my friend jared has a red EK coupe with a 2.5" drop and hes right on tire with 15s. So that made me think...

 

looking good

 

Slame that Bitch, Be Cool like me and not be able to go up driveways

that's what i have to contend w/ on my Avant


so yah i don't want to deal with it on my daily this is good it'll prolly settle a bit but hopefully not too much. This is respectable drop...

 

yeah i got 1.75" drop from my nuespeeds and its a lot lower than that...either way, car looks nice...i like the exhaust

 

nice drop. btw how quiet is the exhaust? i want something quiet but im not sure if this exhaust is quiet enough. do you have an auto or 5 spd?
