Installed Tein S-techs, Tokicos, etc ... photoshoot *duw*

[Raymond]

New stuff (installed yesterday):

Tein S-tech lowering springs
Tokico HP "Blue" shocks and struts
eBay front strut tower brace

Cleaned up the car today and went out searching for new photo locations. I think I found a few goods ones - including one I was asked to leave before even getting one picture taken, I'll try to go back there at a later date. :biglaugh:

Found this beauty hiding behind some bushes, had to stop and take a look:

o man nice, how is the ride quality of the shocks? Wuts the differences betweens blues and illuminas?

 

[olivesomra]

looks great man...

how many inch drop is that?

where'd u get ure shocks?

 

[Raymond]

Found a deal on the set over on V6P. It's rated a 2" drop up front and a little less out back. It's a very even drop, I can just barely squeeze two of my skinny fingers in between the tire and fender on the front. The rear I have about a centimeter more room haha.

As for the ride/handling, it's great. Not too harsh over bumps - I mean it's not stock smooth ride but I like it better this way. Handling is greatly improved and body roll has decreased significantly. It's still there though, so I'm thinking some swaybar upgrades further down the road will help that out some.

And the main difference between Blues and Illuminas is that Illuminas are 5-way adjustable while the Blues aren't.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

the drops nice. too bad the rear isnt a little lower, like the front, but i like it. its nice.

I've always liked the slight forward rake look on cars, so I'm a big fan of this set-up. It's staying like this haha.

New brake pads + painting calipers black
Dropping the oil pan to reseal the bitch with Hondabond (I found out I have a minor leak when I was doing the suspension) + oil change obviously
