I need your opinion....

[HondaLuver83]

I have been hibernating for a while because, I have not posted updated pictures of my car. Well a lot has been going on, I have finished my civic fog lights. I put OEM silver honda caps on my rims. Painted my front calibers red. I painted my valve cover red and sanded down the "Honda" logo and "vtec". I recently finished getting my custom s2000 muffler installed. I finished up my throttle body coolant bypass. I do have to say, that the S2000 twin loop design muffler has given me more torque and HP. Well, atleast my Butt dyno says so, and my car seems to chirp second gear much better.

Now for the icing on the cake, I need your guys opinion on these shocks and springs kit from Tokico. Are they pretty good quality? I have heard mixed reviews. I am not looking for a "dump", just a simple drop.

what I am going for is....right now I have a 3inch finger gap from my tires to the fender, so cutting that in half should be alright with a 1.5 inch drop and not sacrificing much ride quality.

I am also in the process of installing my OEM strut bar from Acura. I was wondering if the CL and the TL-S both work or which one I specifically need for my car. I4.....


I will post a lot of pics and probably a sound clip of my s2000 exhaust once everything is fine and in place. Your opinions and kind criticism is welcomed.

I would get some coils if ur willing to spend that much... add another hndred or 2 on top! but other then that they look good but not really sure about them... well on there quality

shocks are good but im sure there are better options out there for springs than that

Just to let you know, a guy on FLAccords.com is selling the same combo for about $550 but he's getting desperate so he might go lower even with shipping. Just a heads up.

I would totally go for it, if the seller was on here, since I am kinda known to realm this site a lot an most people know me. Just sending someone I don't know that much money without even being in the site is kinda iffy. But I appreciate the info!!! thanks

Ya i gotcha man. Well good luck any way, suspension so far has been my hardest mod, decision-wise

tokico makes a great product. id buy from them any day of the week without hesitation if i needed to.

tho, i know you dont want a big drop, but imo, 1.5" isnt worth the money or the installation. for a drop, at least 2" is good.

I usually don't cosign but I will agree with that. That's the first decision I've made toward my suspension mod and that's that I want at least a 2" drop, anything less doesn't really look as clean IMO.

Never tried the springs but the shocks are awesome and reliable....I use them with Ground Control coilovers

I would say save up for coilvers for just a little more.........just set them to your desired height and run on the lowest settings if you want comfort..........the 1.5 drop is barely noticeable imo.......the springs are the bad aspect of this combo........if only they drop 2" to 2.5" then I'd like it

Maybe you guys are right. But I like the tokico shocks, maybe I should combine them with some other springs. I just dont want to deal with camber wear with 2 inches. I should re-search a little more and find someone with a subtle 1.5 inch drop and see what it looks like.
