Nice DB!
I love the color.
I love 98+differences.

May I ask howd you paint "integra" inserts in your bumper? With just a little brush?
Ive seen stickers on ebay a while back but you can ever find them on there anymore. I thought about painting them but not sure if I wanted to keep it like that.

Any other plans for it?

Thanks, I did it the way SpooledUpRacing did it, with a paint pen from walmart haha. Its like $7 bucks, and comes in a lot of colors. Its like a sharpie but acrylic paint. Cleaned the logo, then painted. Simple :)

Yeah, I really want to lower it, but I'm still deciding on brands. :)

still not lowered! :D
lol I plan too. Originally I was thinking about just lowering springs, but I read alot about how its extra strain on the OEM shocks, so now Im thinking of doing shocks and springs. Although mine is just a dd, do you think it is necessary for me to do shocks as well?

Well, alot of people say go with new shocks too becuase eventually they will blow. It all depends. It's just a greater chance they will blow. If your planning on dropping it more than 1.3 inches I'd say get some new shocks. I cheaped out and just got some Elbach Pro Kit spings and put them on my stock shocks. I was lowered for less than 200 bucks. It rode fine and none of them blew. However while messing around installing them there were problems like stipping and bolts snapping so I ended up busting one of my shocks so I bought all new shocks and lower control arms. Dont worry you will learn alot about this you just gotta research like I did!

Too make it short, if you have the money for the extra shocks, do it. makes installing ALOT easier and you don't worry about having them blow.
There not completely necessary for lowering, but if you do plan on lowering more than an inch or two, the stock shocks probally wont handle them well.

Ps: im gonna pick up some black paint pen and do it soon! haha.

Yes do shocks as well. Tokico blues with Ground Control Sleeves is always a good option. Eibach spring are a good choice too if you're looking for ride quality. Blues with eibachs feels like OEM quality with a better drop and slightly better response. Ground Controls will be a little stiffer but will net better performance and are adjustable. Either way, it will ride well and the setup will be cheap.

Shit, my car is setup WAYY more aggressive than that and it's only cost me 1k, so far...

And keep in mind the main thing I wanted was just to lower a bit without hassling with alot of money with camber kits etc. Its my DD automatic, so yeah.

Thanks for all the info. I think I'll go with the tokico's. Any recommended place to buy them?

Also, SpooledUpRacing offers KYB GR2's for $320 total. Would they be good, or should I go with Tokico's?
