Hey YBlegal. How's it going? You said that you got a M3 style lip wing from ebay. I'm just wondering, which application did you get? Cause all I see if for civics, accords, IS300s, etc. Thanks!!

I'm confused. Isn't the DF210 the Tanabe springs?

Then you got rid of them and got Ground Control Coilovers which are adjustable springs w/o shocks.

The only Teins I've seen are the flex damper which are adjustable spring w/ adjustable shock for > $1000

just call them and ask for 46" long spoiler. fits like glove.. and i think she told me it was same as 95-97 accord size.

and far as springs go TEIN has just the springs. I have a friend that could get whole sale prices on pretty much everything.
its TEIN racing springs. as far as the ride go i have to try it. i'll let you guys know how it turns out. if not i could just get Eibach Sportlines.. we'll see, but i will keep you guys posted on this.

cool, found this website link

They are good at listing stuff that's not out yet. Good to know more stuff is coming out (not like there's already ~8 sets of springs out already though).

YBLegal, 2 questions for ya....

1.) when you get your m3 wing instaleld, can you post some pics? i would love to see how it looks because i want one also.

2.) did you get rid of your Z? when my car got hit, i was looking into getting a "race" z w/ the brembos.


~thanks.

the ride is smooth as long as you don't hit any major bumps. i make sure to drive around those if possible.

I would like to see them as well. I just bought the 46" M3 type lip off of EBAY for $40. After I get it painted and installed I will post some of my own.

Sturm has some nice pictures as well - I think his/hers is white

So both of you are saying that you still have good ride quality with your lowering kits AND stock struts/shocks?
