I would suggest either contacting DIY texas to see if they have a spring compressor tool or at least running by autozone to get one before you head to diy texas.

I have a pair. They're about $28 bucks I think, but they work well. I helped my buddy with springs on his '12 Civic Si and used them on my own stock suspension and they work well.

WOOOO just a sweet pic from DIY last night. Me and DTS removed his coilovers and got his struts back on. I am smoking but you can see him and my friend aaron working on the front. Per usual, it turned into a huge pain in the ass when we only had an hour left, but still fun lol I also may just rent the 2 post lift thursday, not sure...

If you are talking to me (?), they are spyder tails. I also just ordered their headlights w/ halo, since they finally released them, so I may toss a review thread up soon. We'll see

I have a new five axis spoiler for $200 in Raven for local pickup if anyone is interested. FR-S Matt knows I've been trying to sell this since our first meet lol.

Yep! Definitely one of the nicer spoilers out there. Hopefully won't be too hard to sell. I'm on the fence on going with a spoiler versus no spoiler on a Five Axis kit.

Uh, well I have:

1. Motiv HFC Front Pipe
2. Diff Brace

I also want to get under there and look at fixing my exhaust leak that is causing my rattle. Other then that, my other parts come in over the weekend so I will be installing in my garage.

I am going to try and make it out thursday, just need to make sure work is in order.
