    Awesome, now get that dent fixed!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: Lowered on Konis! Plus other suspension goodies

    yeah i kinda wanted to do the lower bars too but the front bar reduces clearance and I wanted to get used to the new ride height before adding shit underneath the car hehe

    plus i thought it might end up taking too much time and i was already lagging.

    find it funny that it only took one huge meet in the bay area and now all of you guys are friends and even inviting each other over....aaaawww how cute
    well me, pico and geddy all met up at a smaller meet in july first.. (along with struggle and mia )

    Re: Lowered on Konis! Plus other suspension goodies

    it's listed at 1.4" to me it looks a lot different, though it's kinda hard to tell at that angle i guess, plus the weight of the car is on the passenger side cause the road is tilted

    fuuuck yeah it does lol.. i took it out last night and was taking it thru turns at speeds i never would have thought about before and the car would barely even lean at all.

    Normally if i take a turn so fast the tires are squealing a little bit, the car would tilt a bunch and make it hard to control thru the turn. Now the only danger I would worry about is losing traction if i went rediculously fast lol

    the only negative i've noticed is on uneven pavement the ride is a lot more bumpy, but it's worth it lol.

    oh, looks real good. and where'd you manage to score some konis? btw, i saw some on ebay today for the rear. but i think they may actually be 4g, but they listed 89 accords as well.
