Nice, if you ever plan on going lower or getting a stiffer ride, i'd recommend you getting these sleeves over those Skunk2 or Megan sleeves.

Cool, it shouldnt be hard to install if you already installed those springs.

Yeah a flat head and a mallet will be more than enough to take out the spring perch, just make sure when you put it back in, make sure its in all the way and secure.

www.thmotorsports.com, they have a rep on Honda-tech, he can probly take like $20 bucks off or something. I was waiting for him to quote me on a Apexi WS2 (like $714 on site he quoted me $695 shipped). Then i added GCs and he quoted me something like $100 less then just getting both straight from the site but i had already bought it cause he took too long to reply lol.

Took a bit to get the GCs, im thinking they ship straight from GC almost 2 weeks to get them.

Shouldn't the GCs lower the car an extra inch when compared to eibach sportlines? GCs lower 3" and sportlines lower 2"

Your should be perfect with 12k/10k, If you're not going to be slammed, this setup should be perfect for your needs. Why not just buy a new pair of Ground Control sleeves brand new?

I don't plan to be slammed, I'd like a 0 finger gap, and the fenders will be rolled as well.

I probably will. There is a seller on ebay(kuramamotoring) that sells them and can do the custom springs rates as well for the same price(~$398), it just takes longer to get them shipped with the custom rates.

I would just like a better deal than $400 if I can find it!

Fairoze, the GC's will lower your car a good 3" for sure, if not more.

Derek, right now with sportlines/yellows I'm lowered 24.75" from fender to ground on stock rims/tires. I thought that it should be 23.75" if swapping the sportlines to GCs. I completed a math degree so this makes sense to me...

I haven't done a comparison test to see how much the GC's will lower your car, but apparently, the GC's will lower up the 3.5".

Yes they lower 3.5" from stock height. The springs themselves lower 3" and if you add the 3/4" with the yellows that makes it almost 4"

Sportlines and yellows lower almost 3" (2" and 3/4")
