IMO go for Teins, cause they are rated, personally driven cars with both, teins crap over kings...

This is a bit misleading - King super lows drop an Ek around 50mm where the S-Techs drop the car only 30mm - obviously the lower spring will reduce the life of the standard shocks quicker. Kings do make just a "low" which works just fine

Edit: I don't know why i bother defending kings really - no one is interested in listening!

Eagerly waiting for my Gli Cluster to arrive in the mail, so my CXi finally has a tacho!

In the meantime, replacing power steering fluid this weekend, pulling my door trim off to try and stop the window control arms from rattling, installing a Pioneer head unit & trying to find out exactly where my squaeky clutch comes from!

Also needs a good wash, but rain is on it's way this week, so im not sure if there's any real point..

Nice, you got a good attitude, attention to detail, fixing little squeaks and knocks is a good idea, once there gone you feel alot better about the car, while you got the door trim off its a good idea to spray the rubber window rails with some silicone spray just incase they have dryed out on the inside, not only will your window function better but you will increase the life span of the power window motor (if they are power ) less strain..

Took my car for a drive toda noticed that my vtec would not engage, oil pres was fine had a good amount of oil in the motor, coolant was good, so the tps was gone, we tryed recalabrating it, so i bought a new one today and the car drives so smooth now

Got mine from eBay.

eBay seems to be the easiest place to find them. Found one EK at U-Pull-It that had its cluster removed already & none of the wreckers I contacted had any. If you need a manual cluster try the American eBay (eBay.com - not .com.au), all the clusters on the Australian eBay are auto.

Also trying to identify a sort of clunky rattle that seems to be coming from the rear left wheel/suspension when driving over bumps or pot holes. I may just be paranoid, because it's not loud & I can only hear it early in the morning on the way to work, when everything is quiet..

Or it may just be my left side skirt rattling, because the 'clip' that holds it near the back wheel is broken, so the skirt hangs a bit lower than the other one & can easily bounce up and down. Anyone recommend something to glue the clip back together? $50 super glue that can fuse a gorilla's hands together?
