Post a pic as your car sits now....

GR-2's are really just a slight step up from stock and can't handle a drop much better either. AGX's are better but u can still blow them too. I have been on H&R springs and AGX's for 5 years (WOW) and the AGX's have headed up good but they are on their way out. Also the stock in the back and lowered up front is very unsafe, i found out the hard way. Hat my 8g dropped like that for about a month when i went through a soft curve and the back end came around and i ended up in a ditch. I was not speeding of driving aggressive, it was because of the different spring rates. So be careful.

^^Appreciate it. To be honest the car seems to want to understeer more so than over with my 3g oem strut bar. Its really surprised me how rigid it makes the front end ever since I've had it, even on stock suspension. Yeah I knew I was taking a chance on gr-2's. Would have went with agx's to begin with but didn't know if I wanted to spend that much. That's why I tried to choose a mild drop set of springs, so I could try gr-2s or oem. Buddy of mine has skunk2 springs on his 8th gen civic and has been okay for atleast over a year. I had agxs plus espelir springs on my s14 and loved them, and they were still going strong for about 5 yrs aswell until the car got totaled. I mean if I could get the same life span for the galant I would be more than happy. I mean if I were to get agxs for the rear there woudlnt be any risk since it's just dampening correct? Of course I mean with the lowering springs back in the rear

now that u guys bring struts up, how long do coilover and shocks last.?

Lmao^ but I cant blame you. I'll let a coilover owner answer that, but I know eventually they have to be rebuilt. Buddy of mine mentioned he's gotta replace his coils on his srt-4. I'm thinking he might have had em 3-4 years, but the thing that gets me is he's not slammed or anything or autocross

Took a few pictures today.. And for the record I hate leaves! Lol can't stand this season, cars always filled with them and hard to keep clean cause of it.. End of rant.. (I feel better now)

I need a carwash, too lazy to go. Rare that I see a mirrored truck on the road, had to take advantage.

Hard for you to keep your car clean?

Impossible for me to even get my car clean unfortunately.

I had my G dropped on Teins with GR-2'S for almost a year before I got rid of it and never had any issues

Had my coilovers since December 2008 car had 110k then now it has 141k and they're still great.

Got in contact with my buddy with the srt today..actually he's only had them for 2 yrs but plans to get them rebuilt. Didn't think to ask if he bought used or new or what brand (think BC). I mean to be honest if I really could fork out the money and could afford the wait time I would go with the same coils greddy has, as I've read nothing but good about amr on various forums. Like I said though, I don't utilize my cars handling enough to justify it. The most cornering it sees, is on ramps lol

Then do what I did and a cheaper set like Megan racing or something equivalent. I picked up my first set used for $600 with like 2k miles on it. My most recent set for my other G I paid $550 with about 5k on them. That's the price of springs and shocks!

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...90EF7833AC.jpg

TEINS/GR-2's for about 3 years now 20,000 on my black G and about another 35,000 on my silver one...doesn't even feel like they need replacing

Man haven't seen your car in a while, clean as always lol. Smh I dunno what happened with my rears..doubt a factory defect cause both of em went. Sure the springs are to blame but the drop is suppose to be 1.4 like I said on a 3g, and they're not the stiffest springs I think. My espelir springs on my 240 were stiffer I think. Hopefully they would do better agx.

And I've been checking craigslist out of state somewhere not to far for coils, because I would like to be able to see the condition prior to buying. But still thinking of just getting agc for the rear if the front gr-2s are still good. And when the fronts go I'll probably replace with agx's too if I have good luck for the rear.

On another note I wonder if my rears went because the springs are so soft and possibly bottomed out easier? Cause the back end always squatted easier than the fronts in uneven parking lots. Maybe setting agx's stiffer would help slow the compression, but would being set on stiff shorten the life? It didn't. Seem to on my 240.

Driving style and road conditions effect the life of your shocks too.

Very true, but I try to swerve every pothole/manhole, creep on speed bumps, and angle in steep entrances and still blew the rears lol. Like I said thr only time I might push the car in a corner is on the ramps, and that's just a gradual turn but I understand there's some weight shift involved. I practically babied the gr-2s

Speaking on all this talk of car washes I haven't hand wash my car in months. Been taking it to the pay&spray and let the pre soak do it's thing and dry off with a towel if I remember to bring one. Main concern was getting any road salt off from snow days. But a wash, wax, and possibly clay session is overdue

Finally hit the car wash.

Edit: I took those pics with my nice camera in RAW format, changing them over to jpeg really washes away some of the natural vibrancy the pics had in RAW.

Thanks bro!

Raw and Raw+ are the best to shoot in! :)
Car looks great!

Thanks folk! I need a drop and I'll be set!

John the RPF1's are on my deck, I wanted to use them as winter wheels but winter is over. Furthermore, I need my foot to get better before I start doing things to the car. Kneeling down and standing for too long puts stress on it, so I can't physically go outside and put them on like I wanted to. And if I accidentally drop something on it again I don't think I can manage the pain.

Marc, RAW rocks! It's truer to actual colors it seems like, pics in RAW seem so much sharper and vivid on their own, it's less processing I have to do. Converting them to JPG takes away some of the color saturation and makes things look duller than they really are.

Lookin good! Ugh eff the snow. It just hit here too

Thanks Ivory and it's been snowing here everyday. It's making me hate Buffalo lol

Rach3t, I don't remember your car, you probably don't post a lot, but perhaps you should more, because it looks really good, I like the silver and black. Move to MD, we must've got about a total of three inches of snow all winter!

as soon as you do that, next year we'll have two back-to-back blizzards like in 2010 on top of like two blizzards before that. That year sucked.

Thanks Greg! I do post on here just not pics of my 3g. I'd love to move further south where there's no snow at all lol and yea 2010 was horrible and it didn't help that I was dropped almost 2 inches in the G so I kept getting stuck everywhere.

My daily is as low in the rear on stock springs as my other car on coilovers. God I hate Mitsubishi for the shit design sometimes. Now i have to find the time to swap the coilovers.
