I miss the gas mileage as well. I came from an EK with a JDM B16A. I never cared to calculate my MPG but obviously it was much better than the 3.5 and it's still premium fuel that's used. But as you've said, it sure is worth it!

Damn I bet that EK ripped. Was it a hatch or coupe? I used to have an ek coupe with a single cam haha. i could drive that thing on $5 for 2 weeks it seemed. But I could also probably run faster than that car hahahaha.

That front lip up above is clean on the G, it looks almost like a stock factory lip. Been seeing some clean lips, i just dont know the names of any of them yet, i think its the nismo one i really like? could be wrong...

Yeah it was stolen and stripped while I was taking an evening class in college. It sucks because I was already considering selling it for a G because I didn't wanna worry about it getting jacked all the time. Ya can't even enjoy a damn movie lol. It had an Si front end too and a lovely Apex'i exhaust. At least in the Nissan/Infiniti crowd people actually pop their hoods at meets, etc lol

wow dude sorry for your loss, even though you got what you wanted in the end...
I had a buddy of mines car stolen from the woodlands movie theatre parking garage one night... crap blows my mind. people cant work for their own stuff anymore so they steal from the hard working people. if someone would have tried jacking my rsx, or g and i caught them, they would have a .45 coming their way haha.

well I decided to go with the eibach sportline springs. Here are a few pictures after the install. I am 100% satisfied with the drop. My camber kit should be here Friday so ill be installing this weekend and aligning on monday just to be safe. The car currently doesnt pull when driving, or anything out of the ordinary, and i feel like the ride is actually alittle better now... Heres some pictures

Who ever had the car before him put the JDM battery cover on brake fluid area... I'm gonna get one of these, one of these days lol

Your car looks nice and low. I have Tein S Techs on mine and it's not as low as yours.
