Just lowered my TL-S w/F&F-HTspec TYPE-1 coilovers

Wasnt planning on going THIS low, but im digging it, some adjustments are yet to be made.. but here are some snap shots i took, car is filthy but its snowy and salty out round my neck of the woods, so im not stressing it... but when the weather clears up, ill take some more, feel free to flame and criticize and exercise your freedom of speech i dont care im happy with it!!

that's way to low for my taste, and for winter driving I think. You are already scraping your a-spec kit.

I was really impressed when i started driving it , still nice and quiet, exceptionally smooth over the bumps in the road and its not all that rough on my rocky driveway or when the car goes over bigger bumps or holes in the road, im in love with them! i had F&F on my old civic too, but it was a lot rougher than this... I cant complain about it, super comfortable even at this height, doesnt ride stiff, does ride soft, just perfect to my liking oh and the price was just right too

Is too low for my taste, specially with type-s wheels, if they where bigger it would look better IMO.

But great you like it and keep the mods coming

i hope, when i was building my civic i wanted SSR type-c's i may look into those to start out when i look for wheels.. but maybe something will just jump out at me and say BUY AND APPLY

That's definitely LOW. It looks better than stock, but I'd raise it a little bit.

I'd invest in a set of ingalls for the rear. We removed a set of tein coilovers from another members TL and the rear tires were gone after a couple thousand miles.

Too low for my taste, but enjoy! The drop, along with the Aspec Kit puts it very low to the ground.

Be sure to join our Type S Social Group here and the Silver TL Social Group here.

Have you put Camber kit on the car yet? You rear camber looks excessive. Tires will start costing you a lottery every 6 months!

im not really stressing the camber right now, as i will not be driving it much through the rest of the season, ill look into one in the spring, im gonna mod the car some more while its sitting, sway bars, possibly chasis braces (flame me ) some window tint, maybe head and taillight tint, custom grill mod, and more, hopefully all done in the month or 2....
