Okay okay..you guys win! I paid around $1400 for them... It was an offer I couldn't refuse!

 

The front camber is not affected as much as some other cars out there. You can visually see that it's not that bad. Afriend of mine has them installed and has put 6000 miles on them. No tire wear is present...The camber can also be adjusted at an alignment shop...

 

more HKS love!

i might end up getting these over the Zeals...mainly because they're a bit much for my goals and having an extra $800 in my pocket never feels bad. but so do lightened flywheels :-/

 

how much are the zeals?

 

starting at $2200, if you can find a good deal.

i even forgot how the sunroof looked till i saw your
pixs.and a lowered 8 is sexy

 

yer dam right a lowered 8 is sexxxy..hahah

 

that pricing is more accurate...i had a deal laid out with a guy, but lacked the cash to take advantage of it

 

Looks great!! Red looks awesome in the Cali sun!! What wheels are you eyeballing? Any other mods planned before wheels?

thanks irish...i have a few sets of wheels on my mind...maybe some volks or ssr's, who knows...for some reason..i really love the stock wheels on the car right now..especially after the suspension went in...i plan on taking it to vegas on the 11th for the weekend... i guess that will be a good test...the dampeners are set at a soft setting so it should be a comfortable ride... =)

 

Came back from Vegas on Sunday. Man the ride was smoooth! Even in the rain I felt pretty confident. At high speeds I was able to switch lanes with ease (to pass up the slow diesel trucks). I love these coilovers! Here are some pics of my dirty ride...From the first pictures on page 1 the suspension has already settled and lowered just a little more. I think the height I have it at is perfect. (Not recomended for people with body kits)

 

DAMN! thats what retailers get for their cost price, i just ordered mine for 1600. it could have been cheaper but i decided to give some extra loot to my friend for hooking it up. either way i saved like 300 bucks. thats real good price u got. I like the way ur height looks. i think i'm gonna have to follow u with the hieght. can't wait till mine come, hopefully before my track day on 26th. u guys recomend breaking em in before track or at track. DAMN THAT 8 LOOKS SEXXXXXXY!!!!

 

wow you got a good deal as well! The height is just right for the type of driving i do...it may be a little hard to get up some steep ramps but you'll get used to it...if you need any help pm me anytime...

 

The appearance package looks good on ur car and I wonder why some people dont like it.

 

Another RED hawt 8! nice job... me want some coilovers too!

 

I love the stock appearance package! I don't think i'm going with a body kit cause the kits that are currently out , hang out too low for my desired height and i don't feel like bottoming out every time i go through a dip or onramp...

 

are they at the maximum ride height?

if not, you could always bump then up a bit if you scrape too much...but scraping isnt the end of the world, my civic was lowered, and the exhaust resonator and front bumper made the most god aweful noise when i entered the gate at my old apartment complex, but you could never tell by looking under the car.

 

no not the max ride height...you can do a 4 inch drop if you wanted to! but who would do that..maybe just for car shows or something...im already used to it...i been driving around lowered cars since i was 15...

 

not max lowering...minimum lowering, should anyone decide to use these with a bodykit

 

yes you can raise it them up to above stock level as well...

 

looks great! nothing like a great handling 8

i decided to go with the MS spring and shock setup...had i only known about price, and ease of changing height and stiffness, i would have gone for it. my boxes will be here today

btw, how much does 60 coats of meguirars weight?

 

60 coats = 2 pounds..hehe

 

After 1 and a half months, my coilovers are finally here. gonna put them on with friends help on thursday. Deedub, i need some help with my height, i want them like how u have them now. whats ur setting? u can reply here on pm me. thanks for the help. can't wait!!!! :D
