haha so that was you with the CLS 6spd......I was wondering who you were and if you were on the forum or not.....I was the asian dude with the Rallye Red Civic. At first I thought it was Mr. Steve's Car cause I saw maryland plates but then I didn't see any comptech parts visible from the outside. Nice car btw.

What is your evaluation of the ride down and back compared to before you slammed it?

thanks everyone for the kind words! let me try and answer all the questions...

kspekCLS - camera is a nikon D70. photos by my good friend patrick smith.

blitz - all of the pics were taken on either i95, i495, i476 between bel air, md and lansdale, PA.

rondog - thanks! see below for NSX pics.

racersky - haha, no offense bro, but 'asian dude with the red civic' doesn't really narrow it down much. i was the ONLY CL there. it didn't get a whole lot of attention, especially sitting next to my friend's NSX. thanks for the props, though. no comptech parts yet. just AEM cai and the omnipower coilovers.

blitz(2) - well, as soon as i took my car out on the road with the omnipowers i noticed a HUGE difference. so much stiffer, more responsive, sportier, just overall felt tighter. body roll is greatly reduced, as well as the front-back rocking that you get on the stock suspension when you punch it. wheel hop and torque steer are also greatly reduced. i am very impressed and enjoy driving it even more now.

as for the ride quality, its a good bit harsher than stock, but i like it that way. i don't really like the cushy, mushy feeling it had in its stock form. bumps are handled well, but big dips and potholes are not. very harsh but the omnipowers with their progressive valving handle it well and react quickly. i was not ever uncomfortable during the drives to and from the meet. average speed was 80-85 with some slow spots, and of course some faster ones when i got a little crazy with josh in the NSX. :p

here's some shots of the NSX. SSR comps look so good on it.

its an early model from 1991-1994 due to the black roof. These were the models before they introduced the targa top, painted roofs, and bumped the displacement of the engine from 3.0L to 3.2L.

What's the price range on a 12-15 yr. old NSX? Either way, if RonDog picked one up it would be unfair....because I can't have one.
