Heres some pics.

Anyways, before someone says it, I know it needs a drop badly. Which brings me to my question. Has anyone tried cutting springs? Are the stock springs tense enough to handle a drop?

Thanks.

 

DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT CUT THE STOCK SPRINGS!!!! This is very bad for the life of the springs and the safety of the car. Springs are not meant to be cut. As well you will fail any inspection in any state. This is highly illegal and very unsafe.

 

Thats a good point, I shouldve brought that up, I hope I didnt make it seem like safety wasnt an important issue. I just wasnt sure how unsafe it was to cut springs, as ive never done it before.

Now as for the inspection, thats easy to get around.

I dont plan on cutting if its going to sacrifice my safety or the life of the springs.

 

you know, I second that... It is just not smart to cut em, just buy new ones.

 

oh and do your car a favor and spend $35 bucks on the perrin shorty antenna, I just got mine and it looks so much better! lemme know if you want pics.

 

Tein S-tech springs are all of 120$ shipped. Just get those.

 

dont cut the spring.. safety and the life of the springs is a reason not to.. also another reason is the car will rock even on level roads while driving if you cut the springs. its not worth it.. other than that, your car looks sweet man

 

pretty nice car...quick question though on your headunit...how come there's a huge gap around the unit? did the housing fit properly or is it suppose to be like that?

 

Well I made the mistake of letting circuit city put it in. I only let em do it cause they said they would do it for free and in all honesty im pretty lazy. So I thougt what the hell. I dont know why they didnt sit it flush (im guessing it was the housing), but anyways im gunna go in and see what they did wrong. I just havent got around to it yet.

 

they used iso mounts. use a cage and it will be flush and u can use the surround. and ccity aint bad i was an installer there.

 

looks nice the s2000 antenna is only $28 from your local honda dealer.

car will look killer after a nice drop

 

i have tein s-tech spring on sale mint have less then 1000 miles on them!! pm if interested!!!
