drop first or kit first?
Hey guys, what procedure will make the process easier? Drop the car first and then add the kit or vice versa? Thanks for your input.

you know i've had similar questions but unless you are caked up I'd do the most expensive mod first. Springs won't cost you half as much as the kit...GO LARGE!!!
Get some big wheels too then drop it.

I guess I'll do kit first to save me some trouble. Since I'm going to be installing my own kit; if i drop the car first, I'd experience some trouble since it is lower; if i install the kit first, i'll let the professionals deal with installing the spring. Hehe they shouldn't have as much trouble as i would .

Depends on what Kit, if it is subtle, get the kit first, if it is a bit wild, drop it first...
Can't tell you how many Civic and Integras I've seen with nice kits, but look like their going off-roading.... It just throws EVERYTHING off....

kit first ...
My 2 cents (based upon the fact I installed the kit yesterday):
Get the kit first. You'll never be able to put your car on ramps if you install the kit yourself. Trust me -- you need to lift your car up to drill holes in the front lip. You'll save a lot of time. Plus, it helps big time to have ramps to install the rear -- the clips that you'll need to install it ... ramps will make your life a whole lot easier.
Aside: Thanks for the FAQ kit install! (Also a big thanks to Kurt B for hooking me up with a deal on an OEM kit and hints on the kit install)
- derrick
'02 EBP TL Type-S
mods: OEM spoiler & body kit , PIAA 9006 fogs, 20% tints
future mods: painted calipers, springs & sways

Hey Derrick, what was you deal on the OEM kit.
Just curious, I'll be in the market for one soon.

I hooked Derrick up with the KIT... and if anyone else needs to get one ONLY in Ontario Canada, they can contact me.
Don't worry... the price you get form A-TL.com is the best you will see... its just that we are in CANADA... and we will have to pay duty on anything imported from the US...hence it does not make ordering big items from A-TL cause with taxes + duty you might as well get it locally, and save all the customs hassles.
I was able to get it pretty close to what A-TL was offering locally.
As I said ..if anyone else needs one ONLY in ONTARIO let me know.
