The shop I had my alignment done at said that is the highest it would go but that doesnt seem right. any help would be appreciated

Tighten down your pillowmount more.

Can you let me know how or where you got that piece that goes around the sub box.. I have been wanting to get something like that.. looks very clean! thanks in advance..

i used to drive an 02 civic before my SI, i had many different stereo setups in my whip, mostly installed by me. i purchased alot of my stereo equipment from CUSTOM SOUNDS, i was well known at the shop and when i got my new car i didnt feel like bull sh*tting with small things like the tv install and running all the power and RCA cables from the dash to the trunk. i had custom sounds install the tv and the dash piece... and build me a custom enclosure for the trunk... with everything completed it ran me 150 for the complete install... thats a bad ass price for all the work i had done... and now its warrantied. the trunk piece is just 2 pieces of MDF wood cut to fit the turnk and carpeted for looks... its easy to do but im no carpenter. good luck!

you can get springs for the time being if they fit into your budget... but eventually the stock struts SHOULD go out after a good 20xxx miles of use with the lowering springs on... with struts your anyware from 400-650 dollars, plus an install if you cant do it. with the price of 250 springs. you've got between 650 and 850 for springs and struts and tein basics are only 915 shipped.
