ok first of all i want to say any one that is thinking about lowering there car themself. before you start make sure you can get the bolt holding the the bottom of the back shock on. also i had a problem with with finding the right alan wrench every set i had didnt have the right size to loosen the bolt on the top of the stock shocks but in the tools with your spare tire you have this http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/105224MVC-009S.JPG notice how it has an alan wrench at the top it fits perfect.

this is how much my car is lowered http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/496674MVC-008S.JPG

i have eibach sportlines and KYB AGXs the handling is amazing compared to stock as far as i can tell so far. they have only been on for 2 days. i havnt played with the adjustments on the shocks yet i just have it on 2 (1 being the softest 4 the hardest) ok with that said here is the final product

i love that color, although you jacked my old style of the old painted hubcaps :D

i painted my caps when i first got my civic. i figured it was the closest to having white rims. they are dirty as fuck though. and i painted the H on the cap black. it looks cool to me.:D

mine went from oem, to black, to white, to gunmetal. :D

mine are primer grey bc thats what i had new wheels are going to be on in june if all goes well

Yoh you should drop it a lil more, then it would look hot!.

my main goal here was a better handling car and still be very functional for driving around my far from ideal streets. crap you guys are harsh

Well expect harsh when you ask for opinions. Thats just the way things go sometimes. I understand that you are just starting out on your car so thats why you are runnin painted hubcaps. Just don't run those forever. The drop looks fine. It will settle a bit more. I personally hate that color, its a bitch color if you ask me, but if you like it then thats all that matters. Lets see under the hood, anything yet? At least you don't have a 4 foot wing on the back and huge APC stickers running diagonally down the side of your car.

speaking of 4 foot wings where has darkwing duck been hiding at?

HAHAHAHA


Oh yeah, and your car needs to be lower.

Ummm being slammed isn't always the greatest for hard driving. There is a such thing as too low! Yes slammed does look nice, but rubbing like crazy isn't the greatest for the tires ;)

Nice clean drop, and everyone is going to have a different opinion about the color of your car or anyones car. And I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but you might want to fill in your holes on the hood where you took off the emblem..hehe Sorry man I just had to...

But keep up the good work though! Great start!

You guys are too use to being low ;)... I was the same way too till I looked at the how high my car was stock when I got it. The bottom right picture is mine, but the rest arent.

mine went from oem, to black, to white, to gunmetal. :D [/B]

gunmetal? you must mean Primer Grey :flipa:
