So you paid 2 bills for those coilovers? I like that drop better than the lowering springs. So are you going to swap for better shocks?

I think I will go with either 15's or 16's and raise it about an inch. I would really like to find some black LS teg rims, those are hot - But every body and their honda got them, so thats probably not gonna happen

And, I dont think mine cambered THAT bad for such a low drop.. I have seen gus who look like they had broken axles.. Either way, I will probably look into a correction kit in the next week or so, i still have a few things I had wanted 2 buy, such as a valve cover, so.. Whatever i manage to put together, I will mos definatley post pics
Dude, don't take this the wrong way but your going backwards and I need to say something. Before you go and get some rims you have to prepare your car to receive them. You need to raise it to no more than a 2 inch drop. Replace the struts w/something that is not going to blow, cause trust me, the old stock struts you have on there are not going last very long w/any kind of drop on them. Get it aligned w/a camber kit so that the alignment is true and adjusted appropriately. Then get your rims. In most cases a car can be out of alignment and not be felt, the toe can be in or out and not be felt. The degrees off have to be measured through alignment. The degrees you do not correct are going to be causing damage without you even knowing it.

It is cambered THAT bad and it is out of alignment. You have drastically altered the geometry of the suspension, so you will need to have the camber and toe adjusted back to stock specs.
