i would start saving your money after you get it lookin like you want it and then you could do something huge with a lot of money.

you can rent spring compressors for free from any parts store.

just put down a deposit, use the spring compressors, then return them, and get your deposit back.

nice tires, but i have to say i'm definitely finished with kumhos, they don't last at all compared to others, but they're nice for the price. i'm either getting michelin or yokohamas next. so what do the rims look like?

Khumo makes a bunch of different tires. Some of them actually get pretty good performance and tread wear. I used to know the link on hondatech to a review of all the different ones and how they compared, but i can't find it anymore.

so everyone has a picture of their new spring/shocks, so i got one of mine lol



And i also imagine the longer springs are for the rear and teh shorter springs are for the front since you want to drop the front a little bit more than the rear, right?

and i have a couple questions about the S-Techs installation, first of all it says to replace the top lock nut when installing the new springs, is this necesarry?

And it also has a chart about cutting the bump rubber on certain models. For my Civic, it says i needto do a "Type A" bump rubber cut. Anyone have any information about that? Heres the diagram of what it says i should do:
