The stickers do say "S"OHC on them; just cant see it from the pictures. it looks the same as the DOHC VTEC on the Civic SI's, same design but the D is replaced with the S. I'm not that rice now; come on

Thanks for the comments guys; the drop is freakin perfect; its doesn't rub doesnt scrape but low enough to get rid of the gap. Couldn't be happier with the setup.

noperz sorry; mine aren't the RACE springs; mine are the Sport Springs. I belive the difference is that the Sport does 1.75 front 1.5 drop rear. While the Race does the whole car 2.25; from what i understand a lot lower. Low enough that my 18's 225/40 combo would have rubbed.

Sorry i couldn't help man. But i love my springs though; like i said couldn't be happier with the setup.

thanx again guys. Once again its greatt to get the recognition; i've worked so hard to get it to what it is. I know its not much but when you're full time high school working afterschool and on weekends; plus studying/homework it gets hard. But i'm sure all you college boys know how that is.

Glad everyone likes it.

I just bought Neuspeed Sport Springs for $125. But this was at a local speed shop. They also Installed them for me for $89 bucks. But that Installation price including the mounting and balancing of my rims.

I go to UCF so im about 15 minutes or so away from Winter Garden. There are a couple orlando area people so we should try and set up a meet sometime. I dont have much done to my car but i would like to see everyone elses.

Oh thanks for clearing the NJ thing up. I drove around Florida for a year w/my Jersey tags before my mom took the car and got them changed to FL Im currently trying to get "I H8 FL" on my plates

^bump^ ~ like to bring my post back from the dead every once in a while to show the newbies who haven't seen it yet....



nearly 7 months later I'm glad to say it doesn't need a camber; its starting to show a bit; but still not even close. It does despiratly need to be aligned and new shocks are a must; sooon.

So tell me, now that your springs have settled, is there any rubbing issue with the 18's? I am about to put the neuspeed's and KYB AGX's on. I am gonna get some new rims, I just haven't decided on 17's or 18's.

Thats a bad ass car. I got an idea for you to. I'm painting my headlight housing black like 1st gen cl. You could paint yours white that would be fucking awesome, but anyway just a suggestion. I love the car man nice work.


Oh yeah theres directions for painting your headlight assembly and some pics already on the board if you havent seen them yet

no rubbing at all. I will get shocks sooner or later because they will die on me eventually. But i've had the stock springs with drop on for 7 months and approximatly 6k miles with no problem yet. When i start hearin em' squeak i'll get em' done. I love the springs love the drop; love the no rubbing. But I can't tell ya about shocks cuz i dont have em'

I dunno about white

But black would be tyte!! I'm just too scared to fuk up the lights. I knwo there are directions. But I was bored one day and decided to see if i could pull apart my old amber turn signals just for the hell of it; and I ended up melting the damn thing. So i'm like lol not gonnna attempt the head lights. Maybe if the kit from Chris Kelly coems through; when the bumper is off to put the new one on I might consider it. thanx for teh suggestion; and priase bro!
