brake pads and motul 600 brake fluid. Going to install all of these tomorrow and Calipers will be painted black. Cant wait. Some people are saying that the teins will be a rough ride while others are saying that they will not. But i guess i will just have to find out tomorrow. Going to lower it by an inch and a half. Hopefully i wont rub because of the 42 offset and 235/40/18. If i do then have to raise it up. Well will update tomorrow. Later folks.

Nice display! Good luck with the install.

I've got the TEIN SS on my car. I think they're a lot smoother than my Eibachs. You'll have to play with the settings until you're comfortable with the ride. Nice display and enjoy!

Thanks guys, about 8 hours before they start installing them. Can't wait.
BTW, I will be taking digital pics of everything, and i will be posting them up. Hope everything goes well.

Damn, you win the lottery or somethin? GOod luck!

EDIT: If you're gonna go all out on those brakes, I would have recommended DOT 5.1 not DOT 4... it has a higher boiling point plus extreme resistance to water dilution. Just my .02

Well shiet...he can't exactly return them now can he? Welp...at least I know what to get if I ever upgrade my fluids.

Well, the Motul 600 has a boiling point of 600 degrees and i seriously doubt that it will ever reach that temp. The honda brake fluid has a boiling point of mid 200's. The point is that Dot 4 is good enough cause in reality i dought that temps will reach over 600 degrees unless you are doing something really crazy.

We'll the teins, rotors, pads, ss lines are all installed. And i lowered it about 2.5 inches in the front and 2 and a quater inches in the back. The calipers are painted black. And the car looks great. The dampers are set at the tightest setting and the suspension is tight as hell. The ride is very stiff and firm, there is no bouncing whatsoever.

Pics will be put up later on today.

BTW, i put about 400 pounds in the car And made lots of hard turns and there was no rubbin with the 42 offset and 235/40/18 tires. Today i will put around 700 pounds and test it again to see if there is any rubbing.
