im going to be dropping my car to the lowest level on tein ss soon, and im willing to bet i wont make it out of my driveway lol. If I lived in texas where its flat I would buy ksports like you ross, but there is too much rock here in NY. I bought coilovers for the sole reason of raising it up high in the winter so I dont have to start my own snow plowing company

his ksports are adjustable too, just go lower and have a firmer ride.

i did that for a while, and the teins just ride like crap when they are that low. they are wayyyy too soft even on the stiffest setting. you will prob be bottoming out all over the place.

they are awesome for mild drops comparable to H&R's etc, but when you get this low you have to have something stiffer or you can say bye bye bumpers/oilpan/chassis. lolz

i'm going to wait until ross is sleeping and i bet i can cut out exact vents like those in his bumper. maybe even get the hole saw out and put some nice "speed holes" in the rear!

where does it look tilted? i think it might be the pics, cause kevin went absolutly nuts with tape measures and stuff before anything was attatched.

the lip follows the exact lines of the car, so if its tilted its acura's fault

ya ross is correct on the tape measure bit. i measured everything and even made templates so the amount of flare the lip came out would match at the bumper ends. i can't wait for the whole kit either! now if i just knew someone that had it........

edit: i still can believe that yellow CL was ever a real car. geeeez!

So, when you have all the parts on, are you going to have the entire car repainted? Or have them painted piece by piece?

Sorry if I missed an explanation post, feels like a Monday.
