    yeah i'm stupid.lol whatever dude... what do you think all of these companies are making these fully adjustable dampeners for? no one said anything about cheap coilovers and ebay shit. I don't know his suspension set up, but with the right set of dampners that height and the right combination of sway bars will make the car handle great. With certain suspension set ups, they allow you to keep pre load on the spring while retaining the same shock travel, even though the car is dumped. Omnipower for instance, has a preload, you adjust the perch not the spring, so suspension travel is not comprimised. Now when you lose the preload on the spring is when you start having to change the dampning forces on the strut.

    I was lol'ing at making a comment about 'riding on rails' when no one knows what suspension its running. Making it seem, to more then just me, that you're saying just because its slammed, it will handle good. And there are many people i have talked to... just out an about who just throw shit under the car and think its done... i wasn't specifying anyine on here

    i see, considering the caliber of cars on honda-tech, i seriously doubt this car has a cheap suspension on it, and he may have just laid it out just to take some pics. no hard feelings i should have clarified what i meant before posting.

    its all good.


    the style of the wheels looks good, but the offset isnt working for the car Something like the Rota J-Spl would be rockin on there.
