overall was a good experience. Had a little trouble with springs not sitting snugly before (didn't really expect the springs to wobble so bad) and oddly one side of the rear was more wobbly than the other..so that gave us a scare. Anyways it's drop now, and my rims are getting new tires so those will be on soon for new pics! Here is a little for now.

here is the link for it..same pictures just bigger i think[

looks a little better, lower it like 1.5-2 inches more and itll be pimpin.

screw that. This is my daily driver...i paid total 315 for this drop. That is a bargain! For the time being, this will be optimal for me.

Nice, discreete look. But my personal prefrence is "brutally lowered" where you don't have room for a Zippo-lighter standing under the lowerst point of the car! :D

so how is the ride? does it ride like you only spent $315 on it?

Pretty smart of you not to go lower than 2 inches...don't have to worry about camber kits and all that crap and most of all, the CRAZY streets/roads of Frisco!! :D

see what i highlighted.. Thats the crankshaft pulley. Yea its broken. Dad and I planned a day of new brake pads, water pump, Alt belt, PS belt, and timing belt. Turns out we couldn't get that bolt in the middle of that pulley to get out and we used a little too much brute force and yea...it broke. The only part that is broken is the ps steering part of the crankshaft pulley but I rather not drive it till we finish things. I have school 50miles away so next weekend is my next oppurtunity to figure it out.


**i added more pics to my album!**

Use one of these:

to hold the crankshaft pulley in place while you break the bolt. works every time. :D

thanks for the tip, stupid honda manual shows us to use the special tool they got in order to loosen that bolt so we were confused.
