    suspension is Discontinued Topspeed Pro1 full coilovers but you can get the same effect with omnipower full coilovers. Thanks for the compliments.

    So stick with white?

    to be honest with you, i'm sure it rides like crap, i really just lowered it tonight to see how it would look. I don't think its very functional at that height.

    1.75 plus the cost of a new wheel bearing and having it pressed. that wheel stud is about a $100 fix. Front ends on honda's suck, if it were on the rear i would have already replaced it.

    a local store here just had the parking lot redone which made it a steep angle to pull out on the street and i had not been there since the work had been done. Well its already a pain in the nuts to pull out there because of traffic but that on top of it i had to pull out in a hurry and the lip scrubbed really bad.

    it;s not attatched to the rotor, its attatched to the HUB which is pressed in with a hydraulic press.

    I just paid $55 per wheel, and $5 per stud here just to get the studs replaced....Honda really knew what they were doing

    Wheels look like donkey balls, especially in the white. I hate to say it man, cause you know I love your car, but they do NOT go at all, ESPECIALLY not in white.

    My rankings:

    1. GTP's
    2. Subzero's
    3. TE's
    4. Steelies (just threw those in there for emphasis)
    5. This ****

    rent the flange and slide hammer from autozone. with the three studs you have left, bolt down the flange and attach the slide hammer. then act like you havent had sex in years and stroke it like theres no tomorrow(lol) naw but really keep pulling until the hub finanly comes off. everthing else that i left off im pretty sure you what to do!( taking brakes off, take of axle nut, knocking the broken stude, putting the new one in, putting everything back together. oh reps for your hot ass db! i wanted those rims so bad! ! very nice!
