in Rides & Builds- Civic wagons
here's my contribution, i've been lurking for some time and finally got around to posting a few shots of ugly betty.

she has a z6 swap, tein (da) coilovers, aluminum lca's, ghetto-fabbed accord lip, yakima rack/basket combo and sitting ugly on some sprint hart cp's.

i'm still trying to fiugre out what i can do to lower the rear some more...

    if thats ugly, then i better hide my head in shame :oops: :lol: looks super clean dude, i love the rack and the color. that seems like a pretty rare color.

    is it on the lowest setting now with the DA Teins?

    i've been around Hondas since 94', and we've always referred to them as tallboys, but i've always wondered if it was a term only us norcal'ers used...

    the car came from an older lady who decided she didnt want it anymore and brought it to my HAP, an auto dismantler where my brother bought it from her.

    it's in overall good shape but the pictures make her look nicer than she really is. there are a few dents and paint scratches here and there but she looks good overall.

    and :( the da rear coilovers are on the lowest setting.

    i actually like the higher ride height. i would just raise the front to match the rear.

    or, sell the DA Teins and get EF Teins (like me :mrgreen:).

    yeah, thats what i may have to do. i just have to get a stiffer spring rate to compensate for her portliness.

    my car actually rides very nicely with the EF Teins, it was lowered about 3.5 inches and felt great, not too bumpy, not to soft. basically just slightly stiffer then stock. i recent raised it 1.5 inches and it became even stiffer this way.
