I have to use the acura jack because a floor jack won't go under. So I lift each side and adj. them up or down. The front is the hardest because of where the adj. ends up with the suspension. Took me about a hour to lower than raise back up again. Helps to turn the front wheels to make room.

Hey ValueTL, nice drop. You have done nice mods to your car. How much were your coilovers and how is the ride with them dropped at 1" 2" etc. What else did you have to change when installing them. Thanks for your feedback.

Hahahah that's awesome! I can do that too with a little help from my friend photoshop. LOL

Seriously, Value, that is badass... Your daily driving height is even slammed! Good grief... I guess I'm partial cause yesterday with 4 ppl in my car I put a dent in my cat/b-pipe going over a speed bump too fast...

Take it easy with the potholes, curbs, driveways, inclines, ramps, dips... everything!

I have to watch steep driveways the most. Try to go at a angle. Front spoiler drags on the bottom. Don't scrap on any speed bumps ect. BLK TL the ride isn't much different on where I have the height set. It rides nice and firm. Bumps don't kill you, no roll in corners at all. Snook sells the coilovers, you use your stock upper mounts. No other changes required. Plan on getting a alignment this week.

the $2000 was that with tires? Are they 18s? I am also looking for those Alstadts 1's. The lowest price I got was $2500, but without shipping cost.

I drive it like the top picture only. I can drive over speed bumps pot holes ect as long as I don't drive full speed. The most problem is steep driveways. I scrape the underneath of the front spoiler. If I pull in at a angle it helps alot.
