Oh ok, I'm not sure if you can achieve that with the Koni/GC setup. I have like 1 finger gap all around and know I have more room to go I just don't know how much because I had them professionally installed. My mechanic said any lower and I'd need to roll and pull fenders, but I never rub, even with a full car. I got my back springs fairly stiff for that reason. My fronts are 600lbs and rears are 550. It still handles well but by myself around turns if the road has a bump my rear will hop up a little. But I got the konis so I could revalve them later if I wanted too.

Yea, i already know for sure i would have to roll my fenders. I think i can go without pulling, if i jus negative the camber. Just enough to my liking, still fully functional but looks clean at the same time. Thats the only thing about these f2 coilovers, i wish i had the option to customized spring rates like GC lets you

Im loving the white paint, way better than my old faded silver. Only thing is that every dirt particle is visible.lol. Wasnt going to say on here cause of crap I would have recieved but I paid $300 for the paint job. I know what people would have said if I put that on here before I got it painted so thats why I never did. It was a reputable shop and it was what I could afford...and it wasnt maaco.lol

$300! Yooo i need that hook up haha, im plannin to go white also. Or taffeta white to be exact. And for that price, it doesnt look bad at all. Did you have to do your own sanding and bodywork?

Yeah, I did all the bodywork which wasnt much. You'll see at the meet how clean the paint actually looks, cant even tell its a $300 paint job. The place is in Riverside in rubidoux. Reason why I pulled the trigger was because they were rated #2 paint shop in the IE for a few years. Economy Paint and Collision.

Hey, thats the same spot my friend took his integra couple years back. They did a really good job, price was 900 but it was because he wanted champ white. I guess 3 stage paint or something like that. They even fixed the runs and orange peel for him for free. 2 vouchers sounds good for me to go to them.

Yeah, they are really cool people and they have been there forever. Theres a year warranty on the paint also but the guy said if anything happens after the 1 year to just bring it buy and he`ll correct it. I'd recommend them.

Cali, dude 300 for a paint job sounds awesome. Especially to see what it's like, you know. Like that's a great price to see if you really like it just testing it out. I know paint jobs get into the thousands even 10's of thousands! Why spend that of theres a better option and you still get what you need and want. I' looking forward to seeing it man, is it tafetta white like oem? I think I might have to pay that guy a visit too!
