Newb Intro

I've been trolling the board for a week or so and just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought a red 99 2.3 cl with 55xxx miles...I was looking for an accord or civic, and found this for less than civics go for around here. I love the car so far, but coming from a Jeep just about any car would feel amazing on the road. At any rate...I had a few questions. I'm thinking about putting on pro kit springs and kyb shocks and just wanted to make sure I wouldn't need a camber kit for a drop that mild. Also, the po put some ghetto yellowish bulbs in the corner lights...what would y'all recommend to replace those? polarg m4's?

Oh yea, and I'll try and snap some pics this weekend.

i'd advise you to drop on springs, the ride quality is amazing w/ the right strut set up.


if you want some cheap sleeve coilovers i can hook you up

drop with sportline + kyb agx... = cheap and pretty good ride. check out my pics in the photo gallery section with this setup.

you have to spend a lot more money with coilovers. For me i know i wasn't going to be messing with my height much and every time you readjust your height, you have to get realignment.

see how easy things are when n00b's are polite. if you dont car about the quality of your ride then go with coilovers. otherwise spings and shocks are fine.
