Thanks, it's Anthracite Metallic(new for 2002, only non type-s)...Car handles like a slot car, for real.

Question Ground Control Coilovers

Please how is the ride, and how hard to adjust them? The tuck looks great! Body Kit? I don't know. It looks pretty clean the way it is. Of course there's alway's that disposable income we all need to get rid of! LOL!!!!!!!!

Ride is awesome, very tight and slight bounce over dips in road. Get Ground Control, trust me, you'll love em. Here's another pic of the front side....

Oh that's sooo sweeeet!!! I say you get the OEM underbody, it would look AWESOME with that color! I've been wanting to see a person with the kit on that color. Also the drop is sweet man! I'm afraid to go that low now...it's getting annoying feeling every bump. what kind of shocks are you running? how much did you get the GC's for? more pics!

Thanks for the props...well right now I'm running the stock shocks, but hope to soon have Tokico shocks...I got the GC's for $300 shipped, brand new from Charles(NSX4DR). I still think I need an OEM body kit to really set it off.

if anthracite was available for type s, i would have gotten that instead of noble green. looks nice, guess its the lack of wheel gap that makes ur rims look like 19's

Well I may have spoke too soon as far as no rubbing. I was driving to work today and heard some rubbing on the front driver side. As I kept driving I realized it's only when I'm turning to that side at a fast speed. Since I will not sacrifice how I drive, I decided to raise(oh no!! ) 1/2 inch all around. The good news is cosmetically there is very little difference, but when I test drove and I mean really TEST drove, absolutely no rubbing. Thats why I wanted th GC in the first place, to adjust my suspension whenever need be. I'm still very happy with the GC and my car still looks sweet.

Now when you have 4 people total in your car and a full tank of gas, you will definetly rub more, but by yourself you will not rub anymore but watch out with a full load...

That should'nt be a problem, cuz I don't usually allow people in the backseat...I usually only will have one person in the car at a time. I've found less people, less problems all around.

True. I mean I pay alot of money for my car and I could care less if you need a ride somewhere, I'm not gonna mess up my leather or even get my car dirty for you....thats usually what I tell my friends when they complain...and then I hand them the city bus timetable. The only people allowed in my car besides my family are my girl and my best friend.

lol, that's my thoughts exactly. there is nothing worse than getting in the car and seeing black marks on the back of your leather seats. just pisses me off. i make them walk.
