Having a little issue. Started having lower back problems last week and driving a lowered car with stiff suspension made it much worse. Debating what I want to do with her now, if I should stop driving it for a while or something. Any recommendations for stiffness setting on Tein? I had it at full stiff so I don't rub too much with my last wheels but don't know where to start. Hopefully softening it up helps a bit..

Go 6 in front and 8 in rear. Even if you don't go that soft at least put your rear 2 clicks softer than your front. Makes a world of difference for comfort. Hope you feel better man the back makes or breaks your quality of life! I design implants and instruments for spinal surgery so I've seen some crazy things but get looked at asap if it's still bad

Funny but one time I sold my mountain bike because my mattress sucked...
and
when I first got the V, it coincided with this wretched lower back pain...
I was convinced it was the cause and wanted to sell the car immediately.
Turns out it's one of the most comfy seats I've ever sat in.
Just no strenuous activity and give it time to do it's thing, man...it'll go back to normal.

Put on new headlights with halos! Haven't wired up the halos yet but will in a few weeks. Modded by endlessrpm and purchased from Modassir on here

Just a few updates. I installed Lamin X clear film on my headlights to keep them clear. I removed my HIC rear visor just for a sleek look but I think I like it better with it on. My friends and I did a secret santa event with embarrassing decals and the one I got is shown below. Its not too bad but I have to keep it on for at least 2 weeks. A couple days ago, I also replaced my new Akebono pads with Stoptechs, like I had before, because the Akebonos squealed like crazy. Lastly, I wrapped my hood and rear license plate trim in black chrome and got all season floor mats from WeatherTech..
Removed HIC Rear visor
Secret Santa decal I have to have for 2 weeks....
After 1 day of Stoptech brake pads... SO dirty but no noise! You gain some you lose some..

Another update.. dropped her off to my mechanic to fix my oil leak.. It has been progressively getting worse and before I put my wheels on, I want it to be taken care of. I have my tires coming in this week too so wheels should be on soon! I raised the car an inch so it is easier for the mechanic to lift it up. It is about 1 finger gap all around. Once I have the wheels on, I will work on the height. I want a bit more functional of a height.

that damn oil leak strikes again! i'm still on the "top it off" plan haha. what was your final cost for the fix? I'm guessing 700 or so?
also agree on your plan on a more functional height, i did that last year and i think my car still looks good while allowing for some spirited driving!
which wheels did you get again?

Picked my car up and threw my wheels on. However, my car went into limp mode after a couple hours so it's back at the shop getting diagnosed... Wasn't really a fan of black wheels but I love how these look.

Turns out that my car went into limp mode because my vtec solenoid wasn't plugged in properly. All is good now. Here are a couple more pics of the new wheels! Probably going to paint the wheels soon, debating between gloss white or matte silver..
