It'll be more bickering of who is lower than anything else lol. He wont admit that 90s tech lets you go more low than the newer models

Dixon, do your puddle lights fade in/out with the unlock button? I also have puddle lights but have only managed to get them to turn on/off when the door is opened.

I believe they did, what ever the inside doom light did, it did to cause I hooked it up to there, but I can not check now because I took it all apart now.

It is a equal 2 inch drop all around. 8k gives you less visibility, if you compared it with 3k it would easily take over any light output. 5k is best, 6k is good for look and output.

Really nice car. Really well put together. Can you maybe post another pic of your indash? The two in the beginning of the thread are not seeming to load, and I wanted to see how the wood look on the double din looks. I was thinking of doing it

Sweet, I'll check those out. I've been debating springs/coilovers for a while and searching for something that will give me the drop I want. All the other springs (Tein/Tanabe) cost about twice as much as those KSports haha.

How's the ride on those? And what kind of struts are you using?

Yea, I got lucky to, i got the springs cheap from this guy on toyota nation. The ride is still pretty much like stock, but it is a little bit stiffer. Struts, I am doing the big no no haha , BUT my struts were replaced by the previous owner.

Well didnt update here in a while ill just give a quick update.
Installed BC coils on her and the high i have it now is maxed, without me rolling/shaving my fenders, waiting on my guy to get it done and then I will put on my 25mm spacers, currently the front is set with -1 camber and back is at -2 camber.

how she sits now


Summer Plans:
New lugs, will use the silver ones


New shrouds for the projectors, no more homemade ghetto ones haha


Last is, I bought an accord lip at a very cheap price, I will be modding it to fit the ES, hope it all goes well


the future of this car, going to get some bmw 7 series wheel, 19x9 and 19x10 to fit the car, if not for sure I will be getting a new set anyways
