to the top, shit is essentially done. i ran into alot of issues with bushings etc. that slowed me down. ended up having to order control arm bushings, shock mount bushings (blah blah blah) and had to wait for them to come in.

front is 110% finished. rear is all reassembled (there was not one bolt/washer left in the rear, everything was removed. and then repaired/replaced as needed. bolts and washers included, looks so nice) just need to put the rear sway bar on, and bleed the brakes and this project is complete. pics when i can get my internet to stop being a douche and let me upload to photobucket.

all that will be left is finding a flat surface to adjust my ride height on.

Suspension is the best thing to do to your car I'm also finishing up getting stuff for all my suspension.

pics will be coming soon. i ran into another issue, which is preventing the car from being drivable. this time, its axle related. as soon as i can get that damn thing taken care of, this bitch is getting an alignment and then getting a detail cleaning. and then onto the first real photoshoot in almost 2 years.

i got to drive it for a little bit, when it was initially finished. and this thing handles AMAZING!! its like driving an entirely different car. anyone with a DA looking to get a decent suspension setup, this is an excellent setup to get your foot in the door.

all right, kids. upon popular request, here is the new stance. sorry for the delay(s) internet has been a complete anal douche lately.

before:

that was with Tein S-Tech Springs and stock shocks

NOW!!!



yes its dirty, yes it has been washed since :) lowered about 3.75" all around on Koni Yellows and Ground Control coils. about as low as the coils could go :)

entire setup:
Koni Yellows
Ground Control Coil-Overs (rated at 380F/450R)
Suspension Techniques Sway Bars (Front and Rear)
Goodridge Stainless Braided lines
Energy suspension bushings (damn near every bushing replaced)
OEM Pads and Rotors (i love you expensive, yet nice, OEM Honda Parts)
OEM Rear calipers (had to replace them in the rear, they were in terrible shape)

soon to come:
Spoon front tower bar (if i can find one)
Skunk2 Lower Control Arms for the rear.
Skunk2 A-Arm Camber kit for the front (definately going to need it now)
Legend Brake swap up front.
Not sure what master cylinder i want to go with, yet. Still doing some research on what is going to work best with my goals. but i'm definitely replacing the master cylinder in the future.

as well as various other tower bars/ c-pillar bars etc. to help stiffen up the chassis a little more :)

i've got a laundry list of goodies to buy, and hopefully it'll all be done this summer.

The setup looks good man. Why did you go with a higher spring rate for the rears? Wouldn't it be more ideal to have the fronts be stiffer? My suspension setup should be done by the end of summer too.
