i have a 1989 CRX with no, i repeat, NO occurence of this. I've slammed it down 3.5" from stock with no problem, I've flexed the entire chassis on it and still no structural problem.

I havent done shiz to this car. It has all factory parts on it (minus Skunk2 camber arms and Helix TBS) so there's NO reason why this is happening.

It's not an issue that Honda can say "well our cars suck, so you are going to have to live with it" because they'll never say that.

Honda is going to have to figure out something because if it is a structural issue, then that compromises the safety of the car.

EDIT: btw i wasn't talking about the paint. Ripples in the metal are haarrdd to show in pics...especially with a mirrored finish on the car. I'm going to try to use painters tape to flatten out and show the ripples in the metal.
