Besides the springs what else did you have to do? Alignment, or rear arms?
Literally nothing. I installed the springs in my garage. I was waiting for them to settle in to get an alignment and maybe get rear arms and camber kit but the alignment is perfect and it rides great. When I remove my hands from the steering wheel it doesn't budge at all to either side.

I also love that it is a decent stance and I don't rub anywhere. I extremely happy with the d2 springs.

Plus, I got lucky and bought them for $40 from some guy on offerup that traded in his civic before installing them and he threw in the clear sidemarkers lol

Wow. That’s a great deal..
Yeah, unfortunately I have 2 left hands and won’t be able to install, so I’ll have to pay some shop to install. I drive the hb sport so I wonder if the springs will work just as good. I’ve got 20mm Spacers all around too..
Thanks again

Its not too bad but if you feel that way its good to just save yourself the frustration. Post it when your done. Would love to see those spacers.

Here are some old pics. I’m curious if after lowering the hb the spacers will get in the way by rubbing—->

Oops..sorry. This was before Spacers were installed. I must have erased. I’ll post some pics but first I gotta find out how much it will cost to replace springs and find a good deal on the D2 springs

Nice, that's actually perfect. I don't think you will have any issues whatsoever with your stock wheels/tires.

Yes you would need the camber for pro-kit. I am looking to get a set for my hatch after the installation.

Could I please have some clarification on if the rear control arms are worth it? This is strictly for my DD with hopes of having quality ride comfort. I am seeing mixed answers.
Thank you

The camber arms are not for comfort, they are for bringing the suspension back into alignment.

Depends on how low you drop it and how "bad" your suspension can be. Do some research and figure out what are considered as comfortable numbers for you when it comes to negative camber. Any drop less than 2in shouos be as close to stock suspension as possible.

I am going for the pro-kit but I hate the fact that it could be doing potential harm to my car so I am going to add rear camber arms.
