Nice purchase man.....I've ordered many times from that website, no complaints

Nice to see you jumping on the bandwagon.

Yeah, i would have jumped alot sooner but with the snow and crappy weather here in NE.... its just wasn't an environment conducive to mods. Now that its getting nicer out, the mods shall commeth!!! So sayeth Brandon!

lol

I will say this though, I wont be modding much. I already went down that road, dumped TONS of money into my old civic. Ran a quick 1/4 time and had a nice looking ride, but at a rather large cost, only to recieve a mere fraction of it back when I sold her. That wont happen again, going to be wheels, nice dvd setup, and thats about it. MIGHT add the OEM trunk spoiler, but that remains to be seen. Other than that, ill be done when I get my wheels and tires.

I hear ya bro ... I am gonna keep it simple too

Look forward to seeing your ride when you start doing stuff to it.

Me too.

Oh, and for you guys out there worried about the install on the springs. Each spring has either an R or an F imprinted on the spring denoting where it should go. F obviously for Front and R obviously for Rear. For some, this may be a no brainer but for others, it might be that lil tidbit of info that one might be worried about.

So have no fear and order without worry. If the spring install is anything like the coilover install was on my civic, it will be a peice of cherry cheesecake.... lol. Nothing a spring compressor and some air tools wont make swift work of.

Btw, are there any nuances with the removal and install that I should be on the look out for? I dont think there will be, they're only springs, but for those that have R&R'd their springs, did you have any lil goofy "gee whiz" type info to pass on?

If you're interested in an oem lip spoiler, let me know.

Possibly.. BTW, looking at pics of your ride, I notice yours has a pin stripe? Is that standard on the v6's? Mine doesnt have that stripe at all. Or is that just a wierd shadow effect from the pic?

wilfredcruz · 03-22-2007, 07:23 AM

why are your springs red?
are they different part number than the ones for the V6?
mine are black.

chitty · 03-22-2007, 07:50 AM

I wondered the same thing. Mine are not red either. ???

Brandon402 · 03-22-2007, 08:20 AM

I wondered the same thing, because the www.trdparts4u.com site says they are supposed to be jewel black. But, the p/n's match so, I dunno. Probably just one of those "ooooh red, means faster!" type things. Who knows. Not like they'll be seen anyway, so it really doesnt matter.

JoeS_07SE · 03-22-2007, 09:02 AM

Yeah I just had mine installed and they are also black??? BTW I love them!
