No worries. I choose the slips because I thought they looked great on my car and I thought that 16" was the perfect size. I didn't want to go 15's because I thought that would be too small. The whole point of me getting black slips was because I wanted to go all black on my car. Black rims, black lug nuts, debadged the chrome "civic" and "dx" on the hatch, tinted windows, and blacked-out headlights. So it's all in personal taste. And this might sounds funny, but my camera does not do justice to my car. My car looks way better in person.

Hey man looking good,Super Streets look great! Im gettin a set in a few wks,how do u like them? is the ride hard or soft,thanks man!
The Super Streets are bad ass. Adjusting the ride height is easy. And adjusting the damping is easy as well. There are 16 settings you can have the damping at. From way soft to way hard. I don't know exactly what number my setting is at because there are no numbers anywhere to tell you. But the setting I have is somewhere in the middle. It's so easy to set them at what you want in just a couple minutes. For the fronts, you just pop your hood, take off the rubber cap on top of the shock and use the little allen wrench key that Tein gives you to dial in what you want. That literally takes 10 seconds. For the backs, it takes a little longer. Open the hatch, remove the hatch tray cover thing, fold the rear seats back a little bit, start unscrewing the speaker covers, then unscrew the speakers, then get your arm inside the hole and remove the rubber cap and use the key to adjust the backs. Then just put the speakers and speaker covers back in and you're good to go. My car rides great, no complaitns. The roads around me are nice and smooth. One thing that sucks about the Ek though is that they didn't come with any sway bars from the factory, but the Eg did. So even with the Super Streets, there is still a little lean in the body. That's why I'm going to be beefing up my suspension even more in the future. Sway bars here I come! ( I just purchased a CTR tower bar...you can see it on the first page of this post.)
Sounds great man.Im just worried the ride may be a bit too hard.Ive lowring springs in at the minute and the ride is softish and id like to keep it at that.
How low can u go with the SS's? Im looking to go 2.5" down,can i do this with the SS's?
Cheers man!

You can go pretty soft with the SS... don't worry about it. And yes, you can drop it, slam it actually, with no problem with the super streets.
Thanks

i just think you need the littlest bit of contrast to break it up... a theme is good, but i think maybe just get the lip polished on those slips maybe... i honestly think that would clean it up alot. And when you put those fogs on, dont paint em. black..42Steps said:Hmmmm.... For some reason I'm not sure if the blacked out works as well as I woulda thought....
Still looks good, but for some reason, eh.....
