That does not look like 10k. More like 8k or even 6k. for no retrofits though....

 

[DRISSN]

i kinda like the rims that are on it O_o

Yes i am Aware of this as soon as i installed them i realized that they are definitely not 10K, thats why im pissed at DDM Tuning... they are definitely 6K.... I'm not feeling the retro fit headlights... I think if civic's were meant to have big projector headlights, then they would have left the factory that way. just me tho

i kinda like the rims that are on it O_o

Then you can buy them and like em that much more on yours. lol

So I got my Form and Function Type 1 Coilovers.... had a problem with the install, will explain later

On to the pics...

Rear

Front

My Hatch on the Lift

Before - eGay BomZ Coilovers (the $39.99 Coilovers)

After - F&F Type 1 Coilovers (The $630.00 Coilovers)

OK OK OK on to the problem I had.....
Here is some background for you, so that you understand fully the headache this was for us....

Ok so i am using my friends lift, he and his family own a school bus line.... my friends dad was there, he is a excellence certified technician for mercedes-benz and he is a mechanic for freightliner of knoxville, working on BIG trucks. ok all that said let me so you a picture

Ok no big deal, the bolt going through the shock bushing is missing the head, we will just drill it out and replace it, no biggie.... wrong!!!! its seized to the metal collar inside the bushing

^^^^^^^ This is after HOURS and HOURS of beating the dog s**t outta this damn thing.... finally just took the LCA and shock off together and used a hydraulic press to get the f**ker out.

All in All, Im happy with the coilovers all four corners are lowered 1.5 inches, and the ride quality is alot better compared to the eGay s**t that was on there before....

Then you can buy them and like em that much more on yours. lol

if and when you sell em lemme know i need a nice set of wheels for my 02 ex?
