    tell it like it is trav
    i don't think adding weight for a few days will make it sag
    pretty sure the springs will eventually sag but this is with years of use

    Lol brett, you are a funny guy Thats not going to lower your car at all.

    Koni yellows have an adjustable perch that you can drop to a lower setting as trav said. Just get that and enjoy the massively increased performance over stock shocks. Will cost you around 1k for them.

    OR just get some coilovers man like you were going to for a similar price from paul!! That way you can set the height where you want - i think you are too hung up on ADR approved stuff man, just keep stock setup on hand to clear any defects if you do get pinned for it

    Basically, if you dont drive around like a knob, you arent going to get pulled up for it. Afterall, all we drive are crappy little civics - cops arent interested in them. I havent been pulled over in 5 years.....Its all about your attitude on the street! If you drive like a spanner, be prepared to cop it.

    Thanks Alex

    The thing is,I just moved out to 100 acres,paradise.I only have 10 points on my licience,so 2 to go.I dont wanna risk losing what I got.If I get done again = No licience = Move back to the goldy = Rather stay out in paradise,so that's what it comes down too.

    But like you said,it's about how you drive.I drove too fast before and when you do,ya stand out.I've slowed down now,so maybe some koni's will be my reward.

    It's sounding good.Do you know where to buy Alex?I am sick of the stock shocks.

    My car is at my muffler guys place getting a heap of Mugen bushes put in

    He owned the fastest V8 in Australia and used to race it at Willowbank!

    Not sure yet but he's always given me a great price,he's a legend.I will let ya know on sunday.

    I rang him up before and he said he has to make up some tools to press them out.But dont worry,he wont charge me for that like most will.He's very very fair,hence why I go to him.No invoice/reciept,just 50 bucks will do ya! type thing.

    Mugen:

    * Front upper control arm
    * Front lower control arm
    * Rear compensator
    * Rear Isolator
    and
    * Rear Trailing arm bushes

    WOOT WOOT!

    I have had these bushes in my bedroom for 1 1/2 years now HAHA!!!

    that is some funny sht.. if you want to lower your ride.. cheapest and also the most dangerous way is to cut your springs.. heavy loading for days or weeks will not lower your ride, if they did all the old school kingswood on the road would be dumped on their ass like dubs..

    $280 Hisoka.Thre was a bit of time involved and making up some tools to use.

    He couldn't do the Front lower control arm bushes though,he said ya need a special tool for the job.Do U know about that?

    Far out the car feels excellent.So Good!!

    If you know someone who charges fairly then I would definately get them to do it,save all the hassle.He had to make up a special tool for each bush!

    I personnally wouldnt put in Energy suspension bushes,they are cheap and make your car vibrate.It took me ages to decide what to do with te bushes.

    Lots of research.

    There's definately a balance.As you can see above I choose those bushes and in Mugen.
