whoa i was guessing the front must've been 1 inch more than the rear, some part of the tire is actually tucked inside the fender isnt it? did you replace the shocks as well?

Coilover set-up...it's a whole new spring/ shock combo that is adjustable in ride height and dampening. It was tucked a hell of a lot more initially, but I could not get it on any alignment racks, so had to bring it up a bit.
Thanks for the positive comments all!

Actually, I think they are all there! You can drop the ones on the second page if you want. Also, I replied to the PM prior to reading this thread!
Kaikai114-- I am not too sure how low it is, but w/ the kit, it won't scrape. Maybe a few speedbumps here and there, but I always take em at an angle anyways, to save the bottom end. I am planning to get the Euro R kit someday. Right now all funds saved are going into the RSX-S turbo fund!

I love my Type S. That is why I have put the TSX on the back burner for a bit. That car (RSX) is so quick, with so much potential. I am just trying to aquire some easy funds to get it going.
To me, it would depend on what your intention is w/ the RSX. If you don't plan to drive it hard, or mod it, I would stay w/ what you have. Also, I don't like the look of the 05 RSX. I like the wheels, but that's about all. I am not feeling the change in the lights, too civic looking to me.

Hey cmf, indeed very beautiful and clean ride. I never thought the car can look so good without the bodykit. Anyways, how do you like the buddyclubs compared to stock? I see you have the camber kit, are your tires rubbing? Thanks.

Buddyclubs give me a near stock ride as far as dampening is concerned w/ better handling. You always have to give a little bit of your ride up when altering a suspension, but the car rides great. Rear camber kit is installed, so no problems with that, and no rubbing at all. Even when the car was a bit lower and the alignment all jacked up did I not have rubbing issues.

I will get more pics this weekend after I am done installing my drilled brake rotors.
Enjoy!
