It's entirely possible that you will...

Im going to try it and see and if it does, Ill probably go back to stock. If you dont mind me asking, is there a reason you dont want to change your suspension and go to a coilover?

I want to keep the factory roll center, and I also drive my car on the street and need to be able to clear speed bumps.

Valid. I may be going back to stock springs in the not so distant future

Many of us had a rough weekend at the Annual VIR Type R track day. I crashed into some tires, another car lost brakes and found a wall, which resulted in an injured driver and a totaled car, another caught fire, and another developed a fuel leak. The lucky few that survived the weekend in one piece ended with PB's! So for me, it's time to repair the damage! Not going through track insurance, and shelling out my own personal funds to get the car back in one piece!

@Vtec87pr1 was kind enough to sell me a headlight and mirror housing for a reasonable price. I had kept my factory mirrors since I was running the Suma mirrors, and when I went to attach my factory mirror to the housing that he sold me, I found that the bracket that clips to the back of the mirror was missing. I had completely forgotten about it when I tossed the shattered Suma mirror into the trash at VIR, so I ended up having to order a new mirror lol....

Aside from that I have a bunch of parts on order from Honda to fix the damaged body panels.

Need some go fast parts from @siwelnosaj since my oil cooler ducting got damaged in the crash.

Also have to place an order with Racebred Components for the carbon end plate and air dam that got damaged. I've received a shockingly high quote from them for the parts with a long lead time to go with it. I'll likely be holding off on that until I get closer to the very end of the repair since I am going to have to send multiple items out to be painted.

I met the Continentals on Friday, got the alignment done Saturday, and was back out on the track Sunday driving it! Just flesh wounds. It'll be back in one piece again!

Me neither. Just pushed too wide going too fast and bye bye into the soaking wet grass I went.
