RE: It's going to be a good weekend...
well, here are some pics i took between cursing sessions.
notice how I drilled a pilot hole on the clutch pedal in the first pic.
memo to myself: pilot holes good. aimlessly drilling into metal BAD....

BTW, the new clutch pedal has taken ALL the slop out of the OEM's pedal feel. it's not necessarily stiff, just a lot more positive.
and the range of motion is strangely shorter now.
the brake pedal feels about the same, though.
notice how close the brake pedal is to the gas pedal. I did it on purpose to aid heel-and-toeing, which i do a lot.
integras have notoriously bad pedal placement (spaced far apart), which hinders proper heel-and-toe driving.
I'm gonna put the new sparco gas pedal off to the left, as well, which will make the pedal set PERFECT for dancing around corners.

hhmmmm....still curious about the k-sports though.....I'm in suspension limbo myself right now.....K-sports, eibach proline suspension w/ swaybars, skunk 2's, or a combination of KYB blues/skunk 2 coilovers/skunk2 springs, let me know about the K-sports, I'm leaning towards the Eibach pro-kit because I can pay cost on it though. Well Either way give us some input man!!!(p.s. I'm open to suggestions on suspension, so anyone with some good or bad advice will be appreciated on a 2000 EX)

daily driver:
KYB GR-2 non-adjustables for roughly $280 - $300 and H&R OE springs (roughly $200).
the KYBs are OEM replacement shocks and the H&R OE springs drop your car .75 inches.
that'll make your ride both slightly dropped yet still comfortable while handling way better.
if you want to corner flatter at the same time get a thicker rear sway bar also.
if you want a comfortable full coilover system, then Tein Basics at roughly $800. they lack adjustability but have a comfortable ride according to a lot of owners.

You got a good deal, mod-express wants 930.00 for them plus 30.00 shipping [sm=smiley21.gif]. Id buy those in a heart beat if I could get it for a little over 600.00 like you. Cant wait to see your car with them on.
