Adjustable coilovers? Corner Weighting

Yeah, and even with the CR coilovers the rears have 5-way adjustable damping, so you should be able to play with them a little bit.

Best prics indeed. You probably saved me about $800. Everyone should go to Honda of the Avenues.

CR struts are not adjustable.

I did the CR front end. It is really nice and looks great, also you cant go wrong with factory honda parts that you know will fit the first time.

DONT FORGET.

If you do the AP2 headlight you need AP2 Balasts for the HID's. Also the AP2 bumpers use a differant tow hook cover than the AP1. And if you want to keep the AP1 fender liners and front undertray you have to zip tie them up cause they do not match the AP2 bumper. The Front bumper you buy from Honda does not have a grill in it and you have to buy one for the AP2. The lip will come painted, so will the tow hook cover but the bumpers come in primer. You can use the stock trunk but you have to cut large holes in it to put the wing on and then you have to get these little side rubber pieces to keep it from shaking real bad. If there is anything else I can think I will post it up.

I wasn't planning on doing the headlights. I mean, damn, there a grand to replace those. Thanks for the input, Josh. Hopefully, I'll have all this stuff by the middle of October. Sounds like I'm going to have some fun putting it all together. Who wants to help?

its kinda more a type-s than a CR you are making

if you do the headlights you should clear out the old ones I reckon you could sell them on for a decent price

IIRC, the CR suspension is firmer than the JDM Type S.
