this is what i got on my 2006 SI

ok so i have a 06 si and yes i do think the 07 and on have a lil higher stance but in the last 7,000 miles my rear has been eatin tires up on the inside like no other i have seen i checked it out looked under it and decided that yes the bushings and shocks are fairly harsh got to replace em i did a quik fix with a ingalls camber kit i needed anyways because i plan to lower it anyways my car has 55,000 ish miles on it, normally its 120k on MOST cars for shocks but hey gotta build em cheap what i recomend on these cars when this happens is just fix what honda cheaped out on get some poly bushings for all that apply get a good set of shocks and a good spring rubber the stock ones get lookin pretty bad.... hope this helps a little and VSA makes the car a lil hevier more like 100ish pounds thats why i traded my 07 back in for a 06 .... and yes i took it to a weigh station and did this honda might not say nothin about the weight but its not like they havnt lied about hp numbers in the 90's from year to year ....all companies do this its not a large enuf number to matter
