Thanks. And nope, I haven't noticed any unusual vibrations at all. It rides just a little firmer than stock, but otherwise, the car handles and feels SO much better now. Plus, there's a lot less body roll during corners.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. They really do help to even the car out.

Yeah, they made the sun change angle, too!

Yep, I cut about an inch off of each of them (I cut down to the middle of the text that circles the bottom, if you've ever looked at them).

Once I get my 18" Axis Reverbs on, im gonna purchase the SPC camber kit for my front and get 4-wheel alignment. Hopefully i'll get the rear camber problem fixed somehow too.
ok... how do you propose to camber a solid rear axle "set up" ? this is not a civic buddy you don't have rear independent suspension your camber does not go off when
the car is lowered or goes over a bump....that only is required for the front. go take another look at the bottom of your car both wheels are attached to the same axle they both move together from the same pivot point... come on buddy use your head for other things beside a hat rack!

They look a little darker in this pic from the end of last summer, but it's a night shot, so I don't know if it counts...




I'm still not entirely sure about ditching the mudflaps entirely. I might end up making more of a mess of things than they are right now, plus I think they do help out a little bit in the rain. If my whole car was cleaner (including them) they would probably look a little better.
18's? If so...look good.

yep, they're 18's. That pic is from before I had the springs on, though. I'm planning on putting those wheels back on within the next two weeks or so (either this weekend or the following). When I get them put back on and the car washed up, I'll put up some pics.

Wow, that's one sexy balt, man. It's so low, it looks like you've got coilovers!

Yeah, I figured that Sportlines had a pretty good reputation (even if some people say they're overpriced), so that's why I went with them. Although my situation was a little different, as I had to drop down so freakin' much just to be where you SS's start out at!
