i was leaning toward the red acsue they look real nice but i found some rims that would look really good on a black SI and the price you couldn't beat 699 for 17" rims and tires with free shipping no tax and military discount the rims are Silver and black they almost look like the konieg Unknowns

I am gonna try to buy that guy's comptech springs by the end of the day, however I keep having second thoughts due to the fact that it throws of the balance that the car currently has. 1.2 frt and 1 in the back, that means that there's gonna be even more weight in the front. Shouldn't I stick with what it has or go with something that makes it more 50/50?

I think all the springs available either rake the front or even the car out since the front is higher than the rear Stock. Adjust your camber and youll get a more turnable car anyway. I wouldnt worry about 50/50 in FF anyway. You already got too much weight against you.

Sup, I think I know you. Please don't get any cheapo depot rims. Save you money for something thats actually worth buying.

And I'm sorry but unkowns are the worst thing to happen since the Fast and the Furious when it comes to the sport compact scene.

Are those rust proof. Because I was looking into them for the TL and their springs only lasted a year or two before completely rusting and collapsing. I've seen pics, not pretty.

No tuning available for our cars. You can only get a Hondata reflash. Suck for us. No KPRO.

Yeah man. You should probably get the HFP kit with it from the dealer since all of us are kicking ourselves now for not getting it. I just have the front lip right now and Jarred (GlxyGry) has the whole kit.

Well I never heard of quality problems when it came to Comptech until I went on the 2nd gen TL forums. I was surprised because I was about to order the springs since they are deeply discounted. But I found out why.
