Ive also been named the NC Chapter Lead and with a lot of meets and shows coming up I can already tell its gonna be a great year.

There are a couple small changes in the pipeline that I hope to have in place before the summer. We'll see.

Great shots, Bryan! Love the Bug and the wheels on the gray Jetta (design/style, not his fitment).
That s2k kit is nice...probably the best I've seen.

Thanks for sharing Jason! Unfortunately not a fan of this one. Personally I'd rather go with something like the new Circuit Garage overfenders being designed by a guy in Canada. Mr. Nakai-San (of RWB fame) himself actually showed up at this guy's shop and said he really liked how they were turning out ![what](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/what.gif)

I'd do something like that, and then custom widen something like J's fenders and still run a square 295 setup![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Oh, and Nakai @ his shop (so cool imo).

Wow, that's awesome!!!!!!
I don't feel like copying all of the IMG codes over, but here's my "2014 Set" on Flickr. Has a few pictures of Alex's Accord, when I met up with Bryan and a few other guys, and the UNCC meet.

they all dropped out and started their own group called supreme_quality or something like that
10th Gear
i wonder why they left, didn't know they started a new group also. Shoot must been some issue within the old group or something. I may join after I throw more parts and have more time for it.

This thread has been so active lately I'm going to keep it going. This car has been out for awhile, but it's making me re-think my goals in life.

Let's all figure out how to afford the new nsx.
Whats up with RDX owners?

Crowdsourced NSX ownership? ![Ponder](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ponder.gif)
This would be like a custody battle over a kid.
Except an NSX is more better.

No need to save for a car that won't be in production for another 100 years.

That's about $112k more than I can afford.

Man after talking to Daniel about his Megan coils I am thinking about getting some coilovers. I see that heel toe final has some ht-spec in stock and thinking about doing it. I swear my wife is a bad influence. I told her the 215/40/18 are too small and doesn't fill the gap. She like why don't we lower the car MOar. And I'm like it cost money and stuff. Then pull out the same card that Eric girl pulled and said " can we get *check her phone* a cold air intake?" Lol I swear my wife just want me to be done with the car now so she can spend more money on purses and purse accessories.

Don't do the HT Spec. They are just rebranded F&F coils and many people have had the shocks blow. Go for Megans, ISCs, or TEINs.

Yea I heard of them stories where it last them a year before they blow. But for the same price of Megan I'll rather get some BC. I want to wait for used set where there be in a affordable range. Daniel tried to help me out but Bruce already sold his Megan on Monday.

The Fortune Auto parts are manufactured overseas but they are assembled in my backyard.
Then again, that may be a drawback.

Listen bitch, I got mine used for less than half the price of a new set. No fucks are given where they are built. And until you can provide evidence to back up your claim of them being built in the same factory as others....

Take a gander at that thread. Read the vendor comments carefully.
Quite frankly, if all you're after is the mad stance yo look, then get the cheapest coilover you can get if it gives teh mad lows bruh.
If you're after something that will perform well, has better QC, lasts longer, can be rebuilt, etc; there are much better options.
EDIT: And to be clear - Megans aren't as bad as D2s/Ksports.

I want air bags :too cool: but so many other things on my to do list take priority over that. Not to mention my dad would probably try to check me into an insane asylum if I even asked to be allowed to buy them.![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)

Wonder how many 7G or 8G Accord suspension parts are interchangable with the 3G?
Rock Auto is good. Fast shipping and good prices on most things.

You wouldn't happen to know what ball joints fit the 3G TL do you?
Edit: -1.5 to +1.5 adjustability. Thoughts?
