thanks for alot of great points.i guess it all comes down to what the car is for.
my car like i said is daily driven to school, work, errand runner, grocery getter, weekend car ect. i will occasionally take it to lil car shows/photoshoots locally aswell. Am i going to go completely ALL out with this car i doubt it. so i honestly dont see me going air unless i get persuaded.

i would have to guess (correct me if im wrong) but coilovers have less body roll which means better handling around turns like your on rails.. am i right? i just want to upgrade suspension stuff instead of performance mods.

the blowing the bag parts scares me.. i also see myself driving this car well over 150k

as of right NOW.. im still set on JICs but it all may change im going to the shop tom and talk to the shop manager about it.

Yeah I read a few problems with those running UAS. I think once you work out the kinks you shouldn't have problems with your air setup.

Slammed is the only was to go to. I'm even slammed to ***** in my beater integra. I scrape everywhere. I'm ghetto. Rolling on chopped Neuspeed Race no wait I think they're Sprints but the ride is still smooth for the most part for some reason.

So Rickey I saw you contemplating trading for Air. You gonna do it? That air force setup looks pretty nice but I don't know if it'll really slam the car.
Why do you not like the KSports? I just put mine on 3 weeks ago and they seem ok. Are there problems with them i should know about?

i got mine off ebay too..i got mine from a seller by the name of racing guys or something like that..they were about $230 or something..the fit great..perfect fitment and works fine..they come with resistors so they dont trigger the lamp out indicator.

ksports are a good bang for the buck..but many people have they ksports blow on em in about a year..my girlfriend has em on her 07 civic and they are jus horrible..its ALRIGHT but it jus seems like theyre blown already..been about a year..maybe a lil longer..and ksport had an issue with the civics fitments and ksport customer service did not help me with anything..so i wouldnt get ksports ever again..probably shoulda went with megans

K-sports are a brand of D2, they are made in the same factory iirc, mines did blow on me in a yr, but i'd still get em... one of my budd'y got into a accident running from authority and took em off his totalled enigine set on fire legend and re installed em on his new legend and they are still working to perfection, my best friend has em installed on his maxima for a yr and suttn and still running great, ill have to admit that the reason mines went was partially my fault instead of pointing the finger on the company... ppl keep talking about these megans, they are gonna turn out to be the same thing... from what i've read on here isnt stance GR+ the best bang for your buck???

with all my cars i have owned i would BABYYY it like it was a rare car or something lol. Id avoid going to certain places bc i was scared to get dings, scratches, door dings, or stolen.

last car was a e46 m3 and i daily drove that more than i did with my turbo'd rsx. i told my self im paying insurance every month, cars value is decreasing ect and its just going to be a garage queen? ahaha so i made sure i daily drove that everywhere where i went. even school where my rsx got the most dings at errr.

with being on the east coast and being as low as this gs is going to be im ready for the battle scars the car is going to get! haha

/rant

next i need to find some wheels ahhh

not a gs.. and looks like on air but sikk nonetheless..
