RS-R black-i coilovers.....Really curious to experience these as I have a lot of experience with the sport-i which are a tremendous suspension setup.
http://rs-r.com

A quick summary is the IS at its highest setting with the black-i is around the lowest setting for the sport-i while not affecting ride quality and for those that want to go low without sacrificing trunk room with an airbag setup. I've been blown away from RS-R's products so I'm excited.

Grats! Let me know what the quality is like as well as ride and if you get any bounce I got bounce on my old 07 civic with BuddyClub N+, just curious as I have the f sport and don't want to lose the sport + feature

RS-R is top quality stuff, highly respected in Japan for making some of the best suspension systems around. Been super happy with it in the 3GS and RastaRacer's IS drives great with them.

You do lose the Sport + feature but since the car simply rides and handles better all the time I have no issue losing that feature.

I was going to guess Tommy Kaira, but the exhaust tips looked a little different than what I'm used to! Congratulations and I can't wait to see and hear!
