Installed the Koni's and Eibach Pro-kit today... ride is great!

Car fought me last night when I tried to started doing the rear. Couldn't get the bottom shock bolts out. They were frozen in the shock bushing. Today, I took it to a friend's house and we hit them with an air hammer, while turning the bolts... finally came out. Rest of the install was great.
Will post pics tomorrow. Seems lower than advertised the adevertised 1.6/1.4 f/r... so be it...

Had the ingalls installed today... damn mess. had to cut, heat, and even weld nuts on existing bolts to get them existing bars out. Aligned perfect with new bars in.

Very nice pickup. I'm very intrigued by this thread since I'm considering a FA5 or a 06-08 TSX. Would you mind providing a brief review/comparison? I would definitely like to hear your oppinion.

The car looks so much better with the new springs. How does the ride compare to stock?

Thanks ahead of time!
