yea i just finished installing them on the car and ran to the store. OMG!!!!!! huge difference. i had them on all the way hard then all the way soft. now i have them about 2 turns from full soft. they ride so smoothly. i started about 2:30pm today and finished just before 6pm. i will post pix once the sun is out again. it got really dark really fast around 5:30pm. and also i need to adjust the height all the way around by maybe half an inch or so, just to take away the wheel gap.

ONCE AGAIN DRBYERS YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!

everything couldn't have gone smoother, no trouble with bolts or anything. and with your well explained intructions, i was able to complete this project by myself and pretty quickly.

don't forget to get an alignment afterward, just to make sure you don't need camber kits.

if you do, buy some up front, but use the washer trick for the rear. it's free...

BTW, don't forget to give the JLB motorsports guyz their mad props for giving you a rediculous price back at honda-tech.

i'd like to buy some ksport lower control arms now, but their kinda pricey.

tein basics are just that: basic.

a lot of money for no adjustability.

my ksports are worth every penny. adjustable and smooth. not jerky and bouncy like my old ones.

and yes i already emailed jlb and thanked them for the awesome deal and such.
