tell me about it lol. looks great though if you can see past the gap lol. if only i can get pass the whole rebadging thing...

KillerG

you know, instead of dealing with the aftermarket, I cant imagine how impossible it would be to just create a custom Acura badge in a Honda Square, and have it chromed, or create one in CAD and have it machined in aluminum for you

OR, better yet, make your design and then sell em to everyone so they can rebadge honda stuff with acura emblems no sweat

enjoy this fucking amazing photoshop, for those curious, yes, I am a graphic designer by trade, PM me if you want me to work on your website

PyroDave

i don't really like the square badge... idk why. it just seems off to me. fucks up the curves or something

ed_423

Maybe go back to euro grille with A badge like drull haha. But the ATLP grille will do for now

Mr. NC

You can never have enough rubber and silicon....EVER

I gotta figure out mines too but has survived winter so far

ed_423

alright guys, coilovers are INSTALLED. decided to do a DIY with my friend. took about 4 hours lol

couple things.

1. i went with a minimal drop because this will be my first time driving a lowered car, so i wanted to get used to it first
2. stiffness set at 7 in the front(counting from the softest) and 10 (again, from softest) in the rear. handles great, less body roll, i might even go stiffer. right now it feels just a TAD bit stiffer than stock, so i wanna try a stiffer setting.
3. regret it. i wish i went lower LOL. maybe once i get my wheels and tires in, then i'll lower it more

with that said, here are the pics. i will get more pics and measurement later on when i have time.

rear (before)




front (before)






rear (after, i still have my oem springs in the trunk though)

TSXKid2010

Yo yo yo ed yo ed ed yo yo.

You know what kind of wheels I think would look good on that? Some WORK Emotion 11Rs. They would look so dope.

Mr. NC

^ In glimmer silver yo!


Ps. ed. have you not learned to take a full side shot yet?! LOL, the only 1 you have has the bumper cut off, need you to step back and take a damn full picture. better yet get TSXKid to take a picture for you, he's a hipster with a camera like that.

tobwac

^hahha funny thing that when i saw pics i was like WTF this is not his car but i completely forgot about that Ed cleared headlight and have HT grill

TSXKid2010

I love how he measured all the befores with tape measure and not the after. Like we don't know how bad our gaps are stock. FUCK.

ed_423

^ LOl it was late so i didnt measure it man!

ed_423

haha i did get a side shot! the wheels was just turned

haha nah, i got some wheels and tires in mind already, waiting for the shop to asnwer my email before i order

around there, im waiting for it to "settle" a little bit before taking measurements. but im probably gonna go moarr low

ed_423

haha trust me, i will

ed_423

iTrader: (1)

did u plastidip the words and not like the look afterwards? or did u just say to hell with the plastidip?

ttk5

omg!! What a difference that drop made. The cleared headlights and grille look much more aggressive now that your lowered. Congrats on the whole thing.

KillerG

why did u take the mudflaps off again brah?

ssjoeboe9

uhhh... where's the girl???

ed_423

in your avatar

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

you must not have been here long...ed likes men that jizz all over his face

benben01

it's a bout time eddie'o! the settings should be set to 10 in the front and 7 in the rear

ttk5

I can guarantee you will scrape the shit outta those mudguards because that what I did to mine. Dont ever add side skirts either...

MrOtocinclus

Looks great. Can't believe it makes such a difference until the side-by-side shots are seen. Kudos on the DIY as well, just makes it that much more satisfying.

ed_423

i've been told fwd should have a stiffer setting in the rear ??

HondoGermany

Hy ed, much better now
Whats with new rims ???

ed_423

^ I have something in mind, will take a few months though

TSXy Luster

^gonna install Killer's ones before he does, right?

ssjoeboe9

Right right, Cu2Crew rule number 6. "Ed is gay, and here to stay."

Still learning all the rules lol

TSXKid2010

Yo joe, you know the SEEYOU2CREW rule about bukkake? o:

08r3308

looks good , how are coilovers? harsh while driving or good?
based on megan specs spring rate should be on a better side not too harsh is what you want

ed_423

the stiffness im at right now is a tad bit over stock, but handles much better. tighter turns, muchhh less body rolls.

you do feel a tad bit more bumps tho, but that's expected, i can always make it softer if i want

08r3308

Great looks like megan racing done their research.
Btw car look great even on stock rims

FlipRizzi

car looks great ed! gratz on the drop. it makes a whole lot of difference for sure.

defconskylude

ed, so you think you can do 19x9.5 +42?



this is +45 on 1.6" drop and 245/35/19. i think you can do 3mm more. no rubbing on turns.
