I installed my Tanabe DF210's today *56Kers take a nap*

And I must say. The ride feels just like stock to me but handles soooo much better. The height is a bit low (F1.8 R1.7) even when the springs aren't settled yet but I'm not rubbering anything so blah. =D
Here's a few night shots and I will take more day ones tomorrow:




P.S. It took me about 2.5 hours to install them. Of course with a buddy of mine! and yes, I need camber kit

Oh...forgot to let you guys know that my friend is doing a special now on Tanabe springs. Price is $330CAD + taxes + 10% off and it takes about 1-2 weeks to arrive since he's planning to order Tanabe prodcuts soon. So if you want a set, e mail him at sales@speedstate.com or visit his site at www.speedstate.com and ask for Roger. Just include that Jeff told you about the 10%

Looks sweet.

I'm a little concerned with lowering my ride, last year my insurance company cancelled my insurance because I had "modified" the wife's Civic (lowered, exhaust, rims, etc.).

Under the Insurance Act, you have to disclose any modifications to your insurer, who will no doubt jack your rates. After having the cancellation on my record I can't get insurance anywhere for a decent price!!

Of course, I could just lie, but that's what got me in to trouble last time....

Thanks guys!! And as for insurance, I really think it depands on your broker. *knock on wood* But when I had my 92 accord I was driving it around modded for 8 years and I did a few claims. Nothing happened. They didn't care. I really guess it depands on what kinda mods and what kinda car you drive and since Civics are famous for moditfing. Anyhow, here are more day pics like I promised.

I think that looks like the perfect drop, nice job.

As for the insurance, just don't make a claim that requires your company to inspect the damage...

The drop in the back looks a little too much, but looks good overall.

Acura-CL and TL.com are supported sites. How do we get on there? Does the site owner have to e-mail them, or can any of us?

The Euro R front lip should look nice. It'll look nice and unique around Toronto. I haven't seen any TSX's with it yet.
