Just ordered some Neuspeed sport springs

From this place called 8thcivic.com

I'll have pictures when they arrive and they're installed. Can't wait

Cool! You plan on doing the install yourself or are you gonna take it somewhere?

well, I started working at a Honda dealership 2 weeks ago - in the Service department.

I think I'll just pay a tech to do it for me and i'll watch him to learn how to do it

Nice, so what do you do in the service department? Do you have a lot of experience as a mechanic? I wouldn't mind working in a honda service dept. I would save up my money and get a discount on a new SI.

I answer the phones. Customers call to ask a question, make an appointment, stuff like that... I take care of it. It's pretty easy, it's just talking to the customer and typing some crap into the computer.

It's a nice summer job for a 19 year old - plus I get 25% off parts :)

Suggest you get an alignment after the install.

hahaha ACTUALLY.. neuspeed sucks and screwed me and Webby around - so webby gave me a call today to let me know what was up and how they were soooo slow and everything. So I decided to cancel that order and get some Tein S-tech's instead. They were shipped out today so I should have them in the next couple days :)

Big thank you to Webby for having to deal with neuspeed and the horrible service they have, then for calling me and letting me know what happened and setting up my new order for the Tein's.

The springs will be installed Friday, June 2nd. You can count on me having a ton of pictures :)

I think you'll love the S.Techs. I have 'm on my SI and absolutely love 'm. No ground clearence issues except for some steep driveways etc. Plus they give a really aggressive drop. Watch out tho... I've been messed around with by the local pd and given a careless/prohib. Driving ticket for looking like i was braking to hard for a turn. That's the only complaint i've had so far...but thats not even the springs...just a local Deputy Barney Fife
