First impressions with the Pro-kit.... LOW!!! Mine looks very low. Don't know if everyone elses is the same.
Ride quality is good. Definately handles better. Seems like a stiff ride. Personally i like it. Don't know if i'm crazy for that.
Seems like something is "hissing" when i'm driving.. don't know if this is normal??? Is there a break-in period for the springs...????

Pic 1 and 4 are before the drop and Pics 3, 5, and 6 are after the drop. Hope it is good reference for everyone.

Thats right.. I've seen all your pics!! Congrats on the Mugen. It seems like mine are sqealing or hissing. You know anything about that??

They're either caused by the spring rates being insufficient (aka too soft) or the damper/shock rebound rates don't match the spring rate type thus causing squeaking noise upon contact/movement.

Progressive springs, I'm guessing?

It's the Eibach Pro-Kit. And when i talked to the guy who did the install he said he had to cut the "stopper".....??? Maybe this messed something up...??

With it being lowered, I think you need some replacement wheels. For some reason, it makes the OEM wheels look small.

too bad replacement wheels run up atleast 3 grand.... i would really like to get a small drop and new rims. too much cash tho.
im thinkin about a small drop, any suggestions on springs alone? i dont want to spend to much and i definately dont want cambering issues.

BRAKES!!!! the problem was the back brakes they were completely shot!!! HAd them replaced at acura. Almost 200 bucks later my baby is back to normal. No sounds and the drop is great!!! I LOOOVE the way it looks!!! Rear camber kit is next week!! The tires tilt in just a hair. Don't like the at all. Any suggestions on whick kit????
