Thanks for looking, Dan

Believe me when I say that I would be as tempted as you to lower that car another inch. but if I had a car like that I probably would have to force myself to resist the temptation. Lol I personally think that they ride pretty nice. Especially the type s with the leather seats. I will also tell you that that color blue is absolutely my favorite color that that car came in. you have done a beautiful job cleaning it up, especially those headlights. very clean and simple. I am not necessarily a huge fan of swapping the honda badges on, but at least you did it very clean and all the way through. I know there are a lot of people that give these car is a lot of grief, I think it is mostly because of how much they weigh. But as far as modern day safety regulations are concerned, I think that this is as good as it is going to get. you've done a very beautiful and tasteful job dan. I love it!

Thanks Cam, I appreciate the kind words bro. It is nice not having to be so paranoid about driveways, entering gas stations, etc... at the current ride height. It would be a while though before I could afford to purchase some coils for the car anyway though. They are quite pricey for the DC5's. I've still got to swap out the door sills to Intergra units, and perhaps do something about the mats, perhaps a type r swap. For now though, I certainly won't lose sleep, ha!

How's the life and the CRX treating you? Did you ever sell those sweet daddy seats that were just a bit too high for your rex?
