Dos preguntas...
1. Are these the "smoked" or "clear" lens version?
2. Regarding your comments on beam pattern - Any idea if these are JDM or EU? Just thinking about the horizon beam pattern cut for LHD vs RHD market
Drove up from my little corner of CT to VT for a wedding last weekend. Caught the foliage just at the right time. Car was (obviously) great on the road trip.
Very nice small QOL updates to the platform...nothing crazy warranting a "must have" jump from a 23-26 into a 27 imo.
Only thing I'm jealous of is that new paint option cuz Meteorite Gray is super super hot gah damn 😍 😍 😍
Another update here since my last one at the end of August.
Over the last 2-3 weeks my car developed a "pop" noise from the rear suspension that I believe was/is related to the rear sway bar end links. It would happen mostly at 0-25 mph and regardless of if I was turning or going straight.
I...
Small update here - about ~3 weeks into having the springs on the car I feel like they noticably "settled" and there was a small increase in handling/ride for the better. If that makes any sense at all. 🤷
I've been pleasantly surprised by the front clearance has been with the springs. That said, I've been dealing with lowered cars for the better part of 20 years now so I'm probably over aware of how I approach driveways, entrances, sidewalks, bumps etc.
Since installing the springs I've rubbed...
Completed a full paint decontamination, 1 step cut, and application of CQuartz 3.0 and Gliss 2.0. The ceramic coat and top coat added a bunch of gloss/depth to the car. I feel better knowing there is some protection on the paint now. Will get in for front bumper PPF in the next month.

Thanks! I am running RSR Down sus lowering springs, have been great for the ~800 miles so far. https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/rs-r-down-sus-lowering-springs.65601/
The drop amount is just right for a daily IMO. Not too low where you're constantly worried about possibly hitting things, yet still low enough where it can look real flossy with the right wheel fitment.
Small update since I made the OP. Swapped out the OEM wheels and spacers for a set of...
Swapped out the OEM wheels and spacers for a set of 18x9.5 et38 Rota Grids wearing 275/35 Conti EC Sport02s. Rides really really nice now with the smaller wheel diameter and larger sidewall.
Not sure how helpful this is, but I feel like I might have an anecdote you could relate to or at least find somewhat helpful.
After many many years of B5 S4's, in 2017 I finally purchased my first "dream" car, a Mk2 TTRS. This thing was everything I wanted at the time, last manual RS Audi and...
I didn't really see anyone posting or running these on the forums. I wanted to give them a shot for their even ~1'" drop F/R with spring rates similar to Eibach, and I also like their products for the Skyline GT-R.
Spring Rate: 5.61 kg/mm (front), 5.10 kg/mm (rear)
Drop: Front -20mm to -25mm |...
