Absolutely LOVE this steering wheel, much easier to make turns, etc.

You plug up your trunk holes already? Did you keep the old trunk springs as well (the ones meant for your spoiler)? If so, how far does the trunk pop up with it?

I did not plug up my trunk holes yet, no. Still trying to finalize a deal with this guy about his OEM spoilerless trunk. I have the springs for the spoiler, yes. I love it, lol, when I pop my trunk it opens all the way.

nice, i liked it better with the spoiler though. so, what's the verdict, are you going to sell your Tein Basic's?

Honda Access: Nice for an OEM feel, pretty much as soft as stock ride with a 1" drop and better handling. Not dramatically better handling, like OBRIGADO said, think BMW Sport Package.

H&R Race/Koni Yellow: Nice, for a 2" all around drop very soft shocks to be honest. Especially when theyre close to full soft. Handling was definitely good here, but turns were still not as tight as Tein's.

Tein Basic's: By FAR the stiffest setup I have felt. Extremely stiff, but at the same time, extremely great handling. Turns feel like theyre on rails. Will definitely stick with this setup. And it's a bit quieter than H&R/Koni I might add.

I am keeping my wheels.

Disconnected the cruise control module completely. Its completely gone from the car, nothing left at all.

That might have something to do with your poor gas mileage.


Looks awesome, man. Now stick with it. Make improvements, don't tear it apart to do it a different way.

I love the steering wheel btw... but correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the exact same diameter as stock. The only real differences are the 3-spoke and the fat handles?

Yeah the Tein's are VERY stiff, going over railroad tracks is pretty damn rough, lol. I love them though, the handling is insane, by far the best handling setup that I have had on my car. Love the height adjustability, as well.

pretty sure you were right, so I wqas curious as to how this made it "easier to turn" at this point?
