Had Pro-Kit and GR-2's installed

[sbelyo]

The shop is done with installing my Eibach Pro-Kit and KYB GR-2's all around. I'm psyched!! After 100K the stock suspension parts were TOAST. The shock bodies on the quads were bulging with rust!

What kind of ride should I expect?

Since your old parts were "toast" you are going to notice a huge difference.
I just added a pro kit about a month ago, although I left the stock shocks and
struts in since they are still in like new condition.
As far as the springs go, there is only a slightly stiffer feel than stock.
Almost the same ride quality, with less body lean on hard cornering.

Man it was terrible.... Every bump over 40 mph would send the car every where but straight. I had the parts sitting there since Oct. but no time to install them. I still didn't have the time, so I paid the shop to do it.

I stopped in on my way to work and peeped it in the bay. It was much lower than stock to my eye.

I can't wait

I love my pro-kit. Its the perfect amount of drop, and the progressive rate ones are hardly a stiffer ride at all. I have also noticed much less leaning in the corners.

It turned out very nice Not bad for $560 including rear quads

Drops the car just enough. Sportlines would've been too much. The shocks and struts feel right. It corners tight and changes lanes nicely.

No clunking or rubbing, but I still have an annoying squek somewhere that was there before

I have a feeling that C/C plates may be needed, the camber doesn't look right to my eye. I'll let the springs settle and then see what happens

Glad you're happy. It'll probably settle some more in the next few weeks. It was nice, because for the next two weekends after I installed my springs, it was lower everytime I saw my car And yes, I usually only see my car on the weekends, because I hafta no kidding park about half a mile (or more) from my dorm. So its like a reunioun every weekend, and I fall in love again, and again and again.

A half mile.... Pfft...

I have trouble walking from my back door to my garage (100 feet maybe)

haha, i wish it was that close. But seriously, when you build a campus on the side of a mountain, everything is a mile apart, with 80 flights of stairs between them. So i hafta park probably closer to 3/4 mile away, and about 200 or 300 feet or so lower in elevation. I've pushed for installing a zip line out my window, to the lot, but no dice. There is something fundamentally wrong with the fact that it takes longer to walk to your car and back, then the car trip itself. Takes about 35 min roundtrip walking to my car, and it takes about 30 min round trip to get to the movie theater (depending on how many hondas i race), on the other side of town. ok, I'm done whining now.

well at least it's only at school. It will change soon enough

It should be pretty nice. I have the sportlines and i love them.. The pro kit is nice if your not after that "Slammed" look and want a little better ride quality.. Should make a pretty phat difference in the whole car. You will love it. Also i read someone wrote something about some odd noices or something? Well i noticed that when i lowered my car it started to make some werid noices but then a few weeks later i got some maximum motorsports FULL lenth sub frames and OMG one of the best mods for suspension, and all around badass-ness.. makes it better for jackin up the car too.. lol
Hope u like your new ride..
