OK, First off i have to say THANKS to Ryan AKA mazdamaniac5 for pretty much installing my eibachs for me today. I pretty much helped by getting him the tools he needed, compressing springs, and the sh*t i knew how to do. Took us 6 hours to do it, but it was a 6 hours well worth it. Anyways Didnt take the endlinks off, just dropped sway bar and tilted the struts out enough to pop the old off and put in the new, I absolutly love the look and feel of the ride, and i was shocked i didnt or dont feel much difference in ride quality. Anyways Drum Roll Please.......

lol, thanks. the pics are from a cell phone so they suck anyways, im going to try to get some high res photos here pretty soon.
 
looks nice...wow 6 hours? the NEPOC guys over here did my struts AND my springs in about 2 hours at Mark's place (bazookajoe). Those guys are pretty crazy though (nana)

My friend who is a ridiculous Honda guy can swap out the suspension on those Civics in 45 minutes O_o He's done it sooo many times though, anyone that wants it done knows to call Gabe, heh.
 
Looks good.

I know what you mean, it was like watching a pit crew go to work.
 
Nice drop! hey man, post some pics when the springs settle a lil bit. Also, what kind did you get? how much?
 
thanks everybody for the complements, my car has came a long ways from the pics attached. i love it now. anyways the springs i got are the Eibach Prokit set, i got them from Tirerack.com for $207 shipped to my door. The ride with these doesnt seem much different from stock or at least so far i havent noticed much difference. I cant wait till they settle. And So far no rubbing with my 17's with 42 offset. any other questions just ask and ill be here. Keep those complements coming....!!!
 
looks real nice man, it would be sweet to see an OEM CF hood on that somebeach, i love whit cars with OEM CF hood. and what kind of rims do you have.

im actually saving for the gemini hood, then getting it painted two-toned, and the rims are Kyowa K2's 17x7 with a 42 offset. I love them!!! Alot better then my 18 konig unkowns
