No, I don't have more questions about putting my springs on...I'm doing that tomorrow. But I do need to know a few things. I was talking with a guy today and he said there where little tricks to getting the car lower and no the springs weren't cut. He had integra shocks in the front he said and the eibach pro kit.

Well what are these secerts? And what's the deal with the Integra shocks? Can I use them all around? Do have to change any thing to get them on?

Integra shocks will work. And the only trick I can think of is cutting the bumpstops.

Yeah, with Eibach Pro Kits they tell you to cut the bumpstops in half and use (I think) the bigger piece.

I'm putting my springs on today....how do I go about cutting the bump stops? What happens when I cut them?

For the Integra shocks, can I use them all around and whjat year of Integra do I get the shocks from?

YOu take a box cutter and just cut the top half away from the bottom half. If you're going to keep the top half, cut the bottom half parallel to the running of the strut and fold it back and off.

Very simple man.

haha.

I've done a lot to my car and even more research this past year. I just want to be able to pass that on cause I got a lot from people out here and I feel like I owe it to the board.

The ECU is located behind your passenger side carpeting on the firewall. If you had kick-pannels with speakers in them, that's where the ECU sits. Just pull the carpet back and you'll see it. It's held in by 4 10mm bolts and 3 harness plugs. You don't have to worry about labeling these plugs because they can only go back into the one they came out of.

Anything you need man, don't hesitate to ask.
