    You can get a set of lower springs and better shocks.
    $200Cdn for a good set of springs $?? for good shocks

    Also you could go with a full set of coilovers.
    $1000Cdn for Tein coilovers and $? for good shocks

    I would stay away from the off-brand ebay trash.

    This newsgroup isn't that great for tuner info. I would checkout
    www.hondaswap.com (fourm) or www.honda-tech.com (fourm).

    It appears that you could have been more serious while you were in school
    (hoping that you're not still in grade three <g>).

    USC? Welll.....


    Anyway, about lowering cars. They may look good (to you and others) but
    typically the will ride poor... Stiff, especially if you put shorter tires
    on it.
    Anytime you lower the car you will effect alignment, especially camber (toe
    is a given and can be repaired. If you lower it enough you have to put
    adjustable ball joints on it (or other adjustable pieced to correct the
    camber. Now that you have these adjustable parts on it you can fix the
    camber... but wait, now the tires are rubbing the inside of the fender...

    Anytime you mess with something, there will be a trade off. Expect it.

  14. Option #1: Use a forklift to drop a couple of pallets of bricks onto it. To
    maximize the lowering effect park the car next to a multi-story
    parking garage and drop the bricks onto the car from the upper
    level. This is also know as the David Letterman technique.

    Option #2: Drive it into a swimming pool. The pool can be wet or dry, your
    choice. The car will now be roughly 6-8 feet lower depending on
    the particular pool used.

    Option #3: Remove wheels. Set car on ground. Total lowering will only be
    about 7 inches or so.

    Tell that to any potential employers that expect you to correspond with them
    in English. Your cover letter and resume must require a translator.

    I forgot option 4, that is to trust Honda engineers. If you want a tricked
    out car, go to USC, get good grades, get a good job, save your money, and
    buy an NSX or S2000. An RSX might also be a good option. This is a much
    better option than finding a picture of your car, or one just like it, at
    http://www.riceboypage.com/.

  17. Honda engineers have to please a huge number of people.

    I lowered my car with lowering springs, and am very please with the results.

    You're in the 12th grade and your writing is that bad?

    Let me tell you son, if you applied for a job at my place, I would expect a
    far better command of written English than that which you display.

    You might think your writing style looks cool, but to anyone older than you
    it looks incompetent.
