Hi, so i recently purchased this ek coupe completly stock and decided i would have some fun with it and this is what has happen in the last 2 months.
I didnt take much pictures but i will be sure to now.
So first thing i did was lower it and roll the fenders.

Lowering it was a pain in the ass, all the bolts on the rear LCA
broke off and had to be drilled out. Took about 45 min a bolt, from there THANKS TO JOE G i needed new lower controll arms and he delivered some blox racing lca's just in time to finish lowering the car before the weekend.
Now i am using ground controls and the ride is really good, still waiting on koni yellows to come in the mail.
and obviously every car lowered with rolled fenders needs some wheels so i went with some sportmax 0 offset wheels. always wanted to rock some of these.

thanks to my buddy he happen to be at PNP and found me some mint Acura el seats to replace the shitty stock ones and a armrest for 60 bucks lol!
seat on the left is cleaned seat on right is straight from PNP

Along with the seats i did a cd player and speakers, no big deal got all of it on sale for $160 and it sounds awsome.
From there i did a full brake conversion just cause i dont like the way drums look and what would look better then some new brakes behind the new wheels. so i did eg6 sir with abs brakes. With that i bought all new wheel bearings ball joints rotors pads calipers stainless lines.
All through JDM SOURCE always some good parts at a awsome price.
Didnt really snap a shot while i was doing the swap since it was just as much of a pain in the ass as lowering it but we had it done in about 8 hours.
shitty iphone pic but thats what they look like.

Then some bad luck
flooded infront of my friends house and a ford f150 smuked my car.

So i vacumed out all the water pulled the carpet out cleaned it all and put it back in, took about 4 days to dry and now you cant even tell it ever happen.

and a new Carbon spoon lip from Jackie and will at speedtech.
Thanks again everyone.
Of course i love to do everything myself so me and my buddy primed painted and installed everything.
