Definitely lower it. Several hear have used Teins and loved 'em. I like the Eibachs myself, Pro-Kits or Sportlines (have the former on my Civic).

Thanks guys for the positive responds. For the wheels being 19s i have so much more control. I cant take corners like no other. And most diffidently the Red Stripe makes the theme to my car. I did however debadge my vibe. Let me tell you it makes a complete difference. It looks Really Bad***. I do have just one ? I wanna take my grill off but I noticed its kinda mounted to the bumper. Does anyone kno how and where all the screws and clips are to take the bumper off.? and its it a easy job?. If no one noticed Im going with a theme of Flat Black and Red. Im going to flat black the grill cause its really faded.

Not too shabby! Definitely put some S-Techs on it though, that would really make it great.

Not bad, but I think they look a bit nekkid. Ever think about upgrading to oversized rotors on all wheels with painted calipers?

yeah ive been thinkin about it. i was thinking about painting the calipers and drums yesterday but second guessed myself. which is a good thing cause then it would of led to something i wasnt too sure about. im prob only gonna paint the calipers. cause im not to into painting the drums. but future mods are to put a cosmo intake in and possibly new exhaust and of course lowering springs. -tint..
