So I was under the assumption that CAI was a pretty simple deal but GSR_Haxor was speaking of removing the bumper etc. hmm... That makes me wonder. Whats the extent of that and I took a look at the Short Ram ones by AEM and I dont see how that would be very involved at all. any help would be appreciated.
I have me a short ram. Dont bother. Removing the bumper sounds bad but I can pull my bumper off in 30 seconds if Im trying real fast with hand tools. But often times you can just pullthe fender liner back and do it that way. AEM cai is the way to go definatley.

Second question. So I wanna lower the car a little bit (1.5 maybe) so I start looking at coilovers. These are kinda confusing to me as well. I know that some of them arent REALLY coilovers. And from the looks of it those fake ones are the ones I could afford. I had always thought of Skunk2 as a decent brand name but Ive heard nothing but bad reviews of their stuff. So what setup would be appropriate. Its a daily driver and wont see a whole lot of track action. mainly the daily commute and a little cruising on the weekends. I would like the adjustability but am alittle wary of the bouncy ride that I keep hearing about. I hear its solved by pairing the coilovers with aftermarkets like Konis. Also how difficult of an install is it. Ive always worked on domestics but I cant see how it would be a big change suspension wise. Anything Im overlooking? Again experience and advice is greatly appreciated.
Well Ground control and Skunk 2 are are the only 2 I would reccomend period. Ground control lets you customize your spring rates if you want to have that extra level of control. I know that most people with coilovers dont adjust them all the time mainly because of the pain it is to do. I know Im just too lazy to do it. If you want just a 1.5 inch drop maybe a bit more consider eibach sportlines. they run around 230 bucks and ride rather nice contact me if you want a test drive with the eibachs. It was about a 1.8 inch drop and it eliminates wheel gap oh so nicley. The spring install (I love hondas) is all of like 3 hours if you take your time.
I dont know much about warranty stuff Ive never had a car with a warranty...
