I don't agree on the whites. It actually looks cleaner with the clears considering the headlights are also clear.
MAYBE... just MAYBE, amber bulbs might look allright. I'm considering on trying that instead of my white/blue bulbs to see for myself.

That's fine agree to disagree.
Yeah I got the WW Lip
I just got back from the shop and I had them raise it a little bit since it was rubbing the fender all the time and I'd bottom out too. Now I may lower it just a little more, I've yet to decide, but it rides great now.

This was my first experience with a car in the sand, besides my parents land rover which can go through sand like nothing. I guess it's a combo of the street tires and the FWD, that did me in.

2. That's on my to-do list but I want to take care of my rusty calilpers and rotors first, they look worse.
3. I noticed that for the first time today also, I don't know what that is, any ideas anyone?
4. Thanks alot, I'm still pretty surprised by it. I see the pics that I took today and I'm like that's MY CAR!! Awesome!! I'm used to it being someone elses car that I'm admiring, now I have my own car as my desktop background not someone else's. Those beach pics turned out great, it was worth getting stuck in the sand!! It definitely turns heads, I caught some girl checking out my car as I drove by she was like "DAAAAMMNN"!! Then I thought to myself "there's more where that came from if you go to the dance with me!!"

I almost got the custom rates for mine too (13/7 to 11/6), but I didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash lol. The car has a really aggressive ride and it makes for some fun freeway riding on huge dips (i.e i have to shout out DIPPPPPP to my passengers for fun).
Look into really closely on what exactly they'll be doing on the fender roll. I'm not quite sure how it is on 1st gens, but for 2nd gens, there's only any reason to roll the rear. The front doesn't really have any paneling that juts out horizontally for you to "roll" up, where as the rear is definitely good to roll.
What happened with me is that they shaved my rears, but ended up rolling my front fenders up VERTICALLY since there was pretty much nothing to roll. It's not noticeable, but it just bothered me that because i'm trying to cut down on my fender gap by lowering my car, they essentialyl created even more of a gap so I could get clearance... . it's aight though, live and learn.
moral of my too long story, just be VERY careful and tell them EXACTLY what you want done to your car.

I have the ksports as well, but stiffer rates (13/7) shit is mad stiff.

Yeah I did some research, before I got my coils. I remember playing gran turismo and I remember like 13 being a really stiff spring rate. So I was like I ain't gonna be doing no GT action so I don't need that, also the tein basics are like 7/4 or some shit and I was like damn that's a big difference to 13/7. he said you could drop it two numbers and not have to revalve the shock, which is when there's a cost otherwise it's free. So I went with 11/6, actually I changed it to 10/6 but I guess he forgot and it came 11/6 but I think I'm glad he did forget, 10/6 might've been too soft for me. See you guys can prolly drop lower than me cause you have stiffer springs. If I drop it too low my tire will hit the wheel well if I hit a bump which can be quite dangerous if I'm taking a fast corner. I had them raise it up about an inch today and now I can go in and out of my driveway with ease and I don't scrape the wheel well when I hit a bump. I may have them lower it just a little bit more or I might do it myself, if could get a little more detailed explanation on how to do that, Klepto!
Yeah driving on twisty roads is fun, I like this. I thought my integra could handle good now my CL is better. I'm gonna have to look into sway bars now, I hear that will help out alot.

I have suspension techniques front and rear, they are thick as hell, they're lime green though.
#52
Why do you have lime green strut bars? Were they given to you for a cheap price? Or did you used to be a ricer with a lime green civic and you wanted to paint your CL that color? I hope you didn't pay full price or even close to it for those?

If the cars lowered, its pretty hard to see. If he really cared, im sure he could/will be painting them.

Ebay, $260 a set
And no, my car is slammed, and you can't see them, I had to lay on my belly to take this shot
And the rear was higher than the front. You can't see the front at ALL, it goes up and over the exhaust,
the rear, you can't see cuz of the exhaust and bumper, but you def won't see it when the rear lip is installed. But you can't see it period, especially me, I'm 6'5"
You don't know what you're talkin about dain, you can't see those at all

Even if you can see them, it's only someone chasing behind you, and that just shows them that you've done suspension work (which I've done tons of) and I don't mind people noticing that, it's not like they can see my bushings, coil or strut braces
They just see the car's slammed to the ground

I do care about how it looks not necessarily more than how it functions, cause if lime green was the only color they came in then and I really wanted some then I guess I'd get them in lime green. but since I know that with a little research I can get some probably just as good as the ones above but in a different color like black then I'd do that. Now if I could get the lime green ones for $50 then I'd buy em and spend $5 and spray paint them another color.
