Installed Progress springs! Awsome drop!

[02SilverSiHB]

I'm loving it! Make the car look way better! the pics don't give it justice. Anyway, the install took me 2 hours. It was a snap! The tie rod was easy as hell. Just loosen the bolt till it is flush with the bottom of the bolt and hammer it out. Oh, camber wise, the front of course is fine, the rear however will need a camber kit for sure. I'll need an alignment also, it pulls slightly to the right. The ride hasn't change in the fact of comfort. As for performance wise there is way less body roll, handling...well a little better, I need to get some replacement tires, these suck of course. As for the shocks, it is a tad bouncy for me (I used to have a previous civic max out in suspension) so I'll be looking into Koni's in about 6 months. (money :D ) Oh, like I said the pics don't give it justice. It was a little lower than 2", I had measured the drop before and the front had a 3" gap and the rear had a 2 3/4" gap. now there is about 3/4" gap now. These springs were used so they are settled in now. They came off a Civic EX. Progress didn't specify that these springs were for my car, but I tried it out and they worked :D
Here's the pics, enjoy :D :

Looks good, can't believe you did this yourself, but that is excellent.

Also, is it me or is the 02 Si (SiR) okay with the stock height. I agree that a drop looks good, but given the height of the car (roof) I think the stock height is okay. Just my opinion though, not too mention that I haven't lowered my ride. so I guess I'm biased.

:) well the stock suspension is great, handling wise, but as for the gap, no thanks :D to each his/her own
