Bought the Cusco Zero1 Coilovers, Cusco Front and rear sway bars from GoTuning. Great service from them.

So far the coilovers are awesome.

Yeah they are on the car. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them. The drop is not super low but does get rid of the wheel gap. It looks so much better.

i have a modded rsx-s on Mugen SS right now and if i part out and/or trade in for the CRZ i'll drop the large sum for the Mugen SS 5 way adjustable set for the crz. they are that good

my gf told me...

that if i "lowered this car as low as the last daily we had i would not get any for LONG TIME."

i promptly showed her how much lower i planned on going on my photoshopped wallpaper...

and then i emailed her directions to the nearest adult toy store and told her i had a big stash of porn saved for this kinda emergency situation. and that the coils would be here within the week.



lets see how this one works itself out LOL.

she is twice as stubborn as me. but she is so hot i might have to actually freakin put my damn stance up to stock for awhile and lower them like a cm a day for a while until its layin frame lol. it worked on my last girl

yeah those guys is the **** !! the s2ki forum is littered with vouches and tough ass threads on how nice and competent they are. too bad they are in CALI!!! ive seriously almost pulled the trigger on orderin up every single cusco item several times. but ive been in this game for a minute and KNOW that i need to wait it out a lil longer, let things come to be. but yeah ive heard NOTHING but good things about those guys.

I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I'd like my car lowered a little. I lowered my MS3 with cobb sport springs and thought it looked really good but the ride got worse.

I love how the CR-Z feels. Will I get the same effect or are there other things I need to know to be able to enjoy the same feeling but add a little better look?

Probably going to lower 1-2 inches, but haven't decided yet since I haven't found wheels I like.

lowering a car on stock struts will almost always shorten the life of the OEM struts... Honda seems to be ok in this as long as you don't drop it over 2"... i lowered my Si 1.5Front/1.4Rear and it improved the ride 100%... i think it made the overall car feel more stable and less soft... i'm assuming the CR-Z would do the same thing when lowered...
