New pics of my car lowered and more

[Hybrid1990crx]

Ok so I lowered the crx on new struts and springs yesterday...in the rain, totally sucked. I would have done it at home in my nice dry garage but some asshole stole a shitload of tools out of my car, all my sockets, and wrenchs and rathchets and some other random tools. Like close to 400 bucks worth. So I am forced to work on my cars at friends houses. I didnt have my camera with me either so I dont have any pics of the install. But heres some shots of it.

First, this is how the car looked before the new suspention:



Now here are some pics of it now. Dropped 2 1/4









Now here are some pics of a bunch of us at my friend drews house today. The two black talons are his, both awd tsi. The 90 is going to be pushing out more than 450whp and the 92 is his parts car. The green tsi is awd as well running 15 pounds with 3 inch exhaust. My crx is there, and the primered black si is also drews, which is pretty much dead after the son of a bitch ran it into the ground LOL.






This is the motor we just took out of drews old 92 and put into the 90. Its a jdm galant vr4 motor. running a big 16g ported and cliped, DSM link, LT1 maf, spearco front mount, walboro 255 pump, and a lot of other stuff I cant think of.


arrons 93 pushing 15 lbs and a few other mods.

[Hybrid1990crx]

car rides like night and day. so much better. my old struts and springs were so bad.

I'll try to get some pics of my other friends cars someday. We have a pretty large scene around here, and I know atleast 20 kids who tune cars.

[turtlecrxsi]

It looks good. Sucks about your tools getting ripped off...

[Hybrid1990crx]

yeah it does suck...

The setup is tokico illuminas and neuspeed race springs. heres the link to my other thread with pictures of the set up. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=431511

how bad on the car is it to just cut or heat your springs to lower it?

It would be like driving around like I was when I paid too much to have my springs installed with the spring sleeves at 4 different heights (stupid) and I didn't know it (stupid) and tried to get an alignment 3 times at Sears (stupid)... stupid...

looks good mang, I just recently replaced my blown out Tokiko blues for some koni yellow, man what a difference, car handles pretty well with the koni's and Progress springs.

Looks nice man, I wish I had Neuspeed Race.

What's up Hybrid. The crx is looking good these days, like the suspension setup you chose.

The CRX looks great! Good job. I, too, wish I had friends like that.
