i think you have to look up 94-97 accord for the ksports (i could be wrong, so don't quote me)

i think there's someone selling ksports in the BM, try looking there

as far as HID temps, the higher you go the more color you get, i have 6000k and it's white with a hint of blue.

Yes, 94-97 Accord. I have 94-97 D2s (pretty much the same deal as K-Sports).

I'm more of a 6000k person myself. Dylan's set up doesn't look half bad though. The only cars that could pull off the 8500k are black or maybe white imo.

Count if you didn't find the link for the k-sports yet, here you go
https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/k-sport-kontrol-pro-coilover-groupbuy-350210/
and as for HID's remember that your light pattern is not gonna look like blackacks cuz he has projectors
as for temps i got the 4300k, it's really white and a lot of output, i kinda wish it was more blue, but atleast i shouldn't get hassled by the cops this way since they're white, and here's kinda a crappy pic of what the output is like in my car, it's way brighter but my camera kinda sucks


:edit: also remember the farther you go from the 4300k temp the less light output you'll get

yea install isn't too bad, i didn't know what i was doing at first either, but after having to adjust the coils over and over so that i get it at the right height, i manage to be semi-pro at installing them now..but always best to have help or even have a pro install it. you just get the satisfaction that you did it yourself!

ive installed a lot of ish on cars but never suspension parts; i paid a guy to put my coilovers on and watched him do it, there are just a lot of pieces you have to remember to put back in the right places but other than that its just a few bolts...id still recommend getting someone who knows how to do it to do it though. i paid $150 for all 4 coils installed...as for the lip..if its anything like the abs one slap that bitch on there then pat yourself on the back!!

^ i can definitely take things apart, no problem..as far as putting them back together..that's a whole other story. putting things back together is not my trade, that's why i either get help from friends to do the install or i can take it to my mechanic

drop it too much and you'll definitely need a camber kit, highly recommend that unless you don't mind going through tires, but you get better handling..

Eh..the rear washer trick can only do so much. basically..if you lower your car, get ready to eat tires. Everyone always says to get an alignment...in most cases, you cant get your car on the rack to get an alignment. Then you ask what specs people used to align their car and then everyone admits theyve never had their car aligned after it was lowered. [although i did find out you use stock specs]..thats only if you're lucky enough to get your car on the rack.

I had my whole suspension redone with bushings and balljoints, but just the fact that the bolts were seized was enough for me, the lip is easy though

yea depends on who you take it to for an alignment, some places are okay you can roll up on the ramp..taken when i was first slammed i only cleared about 5inches off the ground and i had about an inch from the ramp, so if you go to a shop that deals with modded cars then it shouldn't be a problem..i am with you though Zero, i didn't think my car would be able to go up on the rack but i just cleared it..

Yeah I barely made it too. We had to use some pieces of wood to make it happen.

TEAMWORK IS DREAMWORK BABYYYYYY.

haha yea that's what my shop uses, since they deal with pretty much nothing but modded cars..if you're lowered more than 4 inches off the ground, then forget about it!
