Thanks man! I have the type 1's as well. As far as how much I am lowered, the tires sits flush with the fenders all the way around.

I do not have a camber kit, and the tires do wear unevenly, but I just rotate them more often.

The F&F's make the car handle like it is on rails! I had BFG KDW II's before my current tires (General Exlaim UHP's) and the car would take corners amazingly with so little effort without squealing tires. It's like the car knew exactly where to go. However, as far a ride quality goes, they are kinda bouncy because I have the stiffness set all the way to hard. I`don't mind the bounciness, but some people do. I been meaning to turn it down some, but just been lazy lately. I also have a Suspension Techniques rear sway bar, and that helps out too.

Updates!

So back in November 09, the car got backed into, with no note left. The body shop recommended that I just get the whole car repainted, I was just now able to afford to have it all redone, and got it back 2 weeks ago.

Things that changed this time around:

Tein hood dampners
Shaved front and rear Honda emblem
Shaved front license plate holes and indention
New window molding front and rear

Here is one pic I took with the hood dampners



And the rest of these were taken by a photographer buddy of mine, Mike Made. He takes fantastic pictures and I really appreciate him shooting the car!

Thanks man! I like the coilovers. Its a little bumpy, but I have them set all the way to full stiffness. I don't think it would be so bumpy if I turned down the stiffness though. The car handles fantastic. Like it is on rails!

Well, when the person backed into me, they messed up one of the headlights (broken tabs and housing). So in order for the body shop to get the bumper/fender/hood alignment to be perfect, they wanted a perfect housing with all the tabs intact. I still have the old retrofits (bulbs, ballast, ignitors, and wiring), so I will be getting a new set in the future. I will definantly miss them though.

That car is beautiful. It'd look like a brochure if it weren't for the shaved stuff.

(I have never liked the whole shaved thing, anyways...)

Beautiful!
