I dont this Super Whites need to be slamed unless you have custom wheels..... or anyones execpt the stock 17... all the rest really dont even have a noticable difference. IMO

 

i just got tein s-techs put on mine....how long does it take to completly settle and how much lower does it go when it is settled....thanks

 

First off, all the cars look great but I've noticed one thing that is a pet peeve of mine. You should take 2 minutes, remove the screws from your license plates and remove those gaudy dealer plate frames. This would be the first of my list of things to do when I get my new cars home because I'm not a driving billboard. I also think stickers suck. Just my $.02... so take it if you want it because it is almost free. If you don't want it, just leave it on the sidewalk and someone else will grab it.

Kind Regards,

B

 

^ Very off topic..but ok...

I chose the Hotchkis, will post pics when I install them. :o

 

that car on the skunks looks slammed man what drop is that 2 inches?

 

Hotchkis all the way!!!!

Up close and personal










The whole thing!!!

 

Bump. Let's use this for all spring / coilover pics.

 

got tired of the trd's so here are the stechs




sorry about the salt on the car but look at the snow and the roads no point in washing it


Fsu1dolfan you have the only car i have seen look good with thoughs wheels or that spoiler and grill congrats it looks great

 

^^^ got tired? Explain the differnce then?

 

trd's r to high

 

trd's are to high there also to soft i would get wheel hop with them and with the teins i dont


the ride quailty sucks with the teins compaired to trd's witch feel almost stock and are great perfomance wise with the little bit of ride quality you have to give up where as with the teins you sacrafice alot of ride quality for performance

i feel this was a good move to go with the teins but like when i sold my injen exhaust to do a custom 2.5" i dont feel it was worth the cash i lost selling the trd's to move to teins especialy since i sold my trd sway bar also

but im sure the hotchkis im ordering will be great
now to find some struts

 

I dont see why you would want to do something terrible to your car, but okay. Maybe after you get some struts it may ride better.

I'm all about having the car look good from the outside, but if it rides That much worse,........... then I'm i think you should go with the TRD's I'm researching, but wanted to add my barely knowable advice here. But that's for the description between the two

 

i like a harsh ride its just alot bumpier then trd's not horrible but no where near as soft as stock


also if you do i would suggest h techs if you want a soft ride still i just happen to like the car to be the stifist it can be for the least amount of cash

*<<<<cheap mexican over here*

 

u know what, after the 1st day of changing my springs, it felt the same as stock to me. i konw that first day i hit a bump by justins house and was ready to cry, but now it feels so comfortable to me.

ps i did have h&r spring on my civic that my best friend always complained about his spine for some reason

 

must be a"modder" or "spring thing"..............cause I'm not sure I'm feeling(liking) a ruffer ride......... but okay guys????

 

lol TRD's arent too high, thier a perfect drop IMO. Fills up the wheel gap good. Some of the pics here might be the TRD's right after they're installed, they do settle a little lower after a couple of weeks.

Here some pics of mine on TRD's fully settled.

 

coilovers are better anyway...

 

yep,,,,,,,,,,,i agree with that. im switching out my Htechs for some tein coilovers this summer.....nice drop!

 

coilovers are nice if you have the cash


and sciongirl81 check the chamber in the rear

 

i didn't need the cash

...and the car was only slammed for that photoshoot...i would never drive it like that.
