i got some new pics today. sorry it was rainy and a little bit dark. but i do have everything set like i want it. next week im getting an alignment too. what do you think about this height? raised up about 1/2"....i honestly think this is about as low as i can go because the roads are horrible here and its a daily driver. i think its a good low height though.

it looks a little lower than mine but I think that's just the illusion created by your little tiny sidewalls.

take it easy for a while, you'll be OK.

im gonna tell you, they really are a pain to set. MAKE sure before you put them on you have them set exactly the same in the front, then in the back too. and once you get them on, then you can just count the # of turns u go up or down. my drivers side front had to be turned 4 more times up than the pass. side. once you get it on, you will see what im talking about but it just takes time.

yea so im curious....do you guys compensate for the infamous "Honda lean" with new coilovers???? basically what im askin is, do you drop the passenger side lower than the driver's side so they are even looking although the weight is not evenly distributed??? i was trying to think of what would be the faults of doing this, but i cant seem to think of any.....

when lowered, i had both fronts the exact same setting on the coils. but, the front drivers side was almost an inch lower. so now everything is at a different setting but at the same height. so yea i guess so. and then in the back it was just the opposite.
