i'm not sure, i haven't got a chance to look yet, all they told me was that the lowering springs were purple and that they were lowering springs and not coilovers, one of these days i will work up some energy and go check that out....

oh yeah, and i definately wanted to buy something w/ lower miles, the b16 in the 4 door had only like 55k miles on it which is where i'm at on the si, but the damn body on the 4 door had almost 300k miles......i wanted to get something a little newer w/ less miles

yeah, the lips are the same, but i have a crack in mine.....my mom drove it and it broke....so i ordered up a different one, i found a type r lip for quite a bit cheaper than the original oem, so i just ordered that up..

thanks, i'm not a huge fan of the rims either, just a spare set i had lying around from my old car and they look a lot better than the 14" steelies that came with it, one day i will get some different wheels.....
14" steelies? I thought Sis came with the infamous "Si rims"...

they usually do come with the SI rims, but this car didn't, he had 17" rims on it, but i asked him to take them off and lower the price and he dropped it 1k, so they just threw on some 14" steelies......oh well, just some wheels to use for winter...

i am hoping to find a set of the si rims, those are the ones that i want, but i went to the dealer today for a price and they were 235 a piece, so the search continues, i'm not gonna pay 1000 for just the wheels and then have to go buy tires, no way in hell........

Man, both cars look great. Too bad you had to let go of the 4 door. But at least you now have a ride that will definitley lasts you a while. What else do you plan to do with the SI? What did you have on your 89?

yeah, that 4 door was great and i wish i could of hung on to it, but i needed something newer....i wasn't even planning on buying the si, but i got it for the right price so i went for it.....

as for now with the si, i am waiting for my oem wing to show up and my type R front lip, and then i am thinking i am going to throw an apexi ws exhaust with a dc header on it, and then i might be moving to cali to work for the summer, and depending on how much money i make down there will depend on how much stuff i put on my car, thinking maybe turbo....

the 4 door some stuff done, b16a1, clutchmaster stage 2 clutch, header, exhaust, test pipe, and 10.3mm plug wires for the engine, new paint, integra center console conversion, and just some other misc stuff, it wasn't a whole lot, but damn, it was fast, it makes my si feel really slow.....
