EK AMR coilover install
Gonna get off my lazy *** right now to do this. Here is my pre-game pics and side by side of my new and old set up. I will be posting my completed set up when I am finished.
*sorry for the crappy cell phone pics*
Fronts raised
Fronts slammed
Rear raised
Rear slammed
Awesome JDM style clicky adjuster ****!
Nice teflon coated lower mount
Can't forget the spanner wrench!

Re: EK AMR coilover install
I only was able to install the fronts and I can't even do a write up on that because I let my buddy borrow my starter because his went out and my car was on jack stands for a little over a month anyways. Here we go.
Driver coilover installed!
One more pic of the same (keep in mind this is the height I left the spring collar)
Just a pic of the mount (don't mind the dirtyness I could careless about the dirt)
Here is the ending pics.

Re: EK AMR coilover install
I am curious as well! I currently have OMNIs and hate the ride!
Do they offer this for the 92-95 civics? I didn't see the application for it on their site.

Re: EK AMR coilover install
I honestly could careless about the paint, funny thing is I kinda helped out a body shop and know how to paint! But as long as my motor is running and my car has handles like Iverson, I'm happy. But the main reason why I switched over to full threaded is look how much piston travel I lose as soon as I lower the car to the ground. If the Koni's were the shortend body ones I might have kept them. Plus I wanted to run higher spring rates. Plus my set up was Skunk2 not GC's. BTW ppl said the same thing when I sold my Ohlins set up to go back to the Koni/GC's.

Iverson's Quote: "We're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? We're talking about practice. I know I'm supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example . . . I know it's important . . . I honestly do. But we're talking about practice, man. What are we talking about? Practice?"
BTW first driving impression. I didn't get to hit up anything worth while getting into details but I did drive down the street to Walmart. I had the rears adjusted to 4 clicks and the fronts the same. Reason why I had the rear to 4 clicks is I thought I was giving my girls friend a ride (kind of a big girl) but it didn't happen. So just driving down the street it was a little stiff in the rear but the front was fine minus my passenger front wheel about to fall off because of that stupid wheel bearing. Once I replace it I will have a more in depth write up.

Re: EK AMR coilover install
Almost 2 years since I have installed them, they still ride like the first day I installed them. Played around with settings quite a bit, found that for the street that 3 clicks front and 1 or 2 clicks rear is damn near perfect for daily driving. Mountain passes and cone chasing loves 4f/5-6r. Would I buy them again? Of course so I did for my other 2 cars! Andy's building another set for my new daily driver as I post this.
