*PICS* Got my tint done - can see my koni & eibach drop
Well I got my tint done last night. 32% all the way around. Cost me $200 even. You can also see my koni's & eibachs ... ahh ... and of course my favorite, the license plate frame ...

astro --- guess you *CAN* have too much shine 
typeR --- i did the install with my cousin, so I know for a fact that they are both on the upper perch. that's just the way it is. we were gonna take the rears apart, and try the lower, but the rake looks awesome, and it is idea for the drag strip, plus the car slides evenly around the corner when i push it .... there is no under/over steer. no offense taken at all, i thought the same thing when we got done ... in fact, it looked even higher for about a day until the springs settled.

I have that exact same tint on my car except mine is 5%, I also have the pro-kits on my car but it looks a lot lower especially in the rear, could be due to my heavy system. Your car is lookin' sweet........

Looks like my car too although without the spoiler and ACURA lettering. Did you get that lisence plate frame at 2chicks.com? It looks like the frame I had them design. Just wondering?

well i guess we can only be 100% sure of what is on our OWN cars. i KNOW what is on my car, since I did the install with my cousin (who is an acura mechanic). if somebody else owns a car with konis & a pro-kit, i'd love to see your pics.

Your car looks good Fotis. You better enjoy how clean your car is because I'm guessing it's about the cleanest it's going to be until next spring. It has to be hard on your car in those Minnesota winters.

I thought the gap in the back would be a little lower. That's what it seems like on mine. But otherwise looking great man! How firm did you adjust the shocks?

i like the look...
so what the easiest way to even out the gaps. I'd like to keep the rear virgin, but drop the front like .5"-.75". I've been planning on getting the comptechs.
