Yup it is. It's on some old-school Maxspeed adjustable coilovers and AGX struts. Rides great and somewhat stiff and is around 3.25 inches lower than stock.

maxspeed hmmmm... I'm about to replace my entire suspension and was looking at my choices of parts to go with. I was thinking with going Skunk2 coilovers with Dropzone struts because I had that set on my Integra and it rode great. I just dont want to spend as much as I did before.

I'm pretty sure maxspeeds aren't around anymore though, at least the coilovers I have. I had Dropzone coilovers a while back, and I liked them. I'm not sure about how long the Dropzone struts will last though. My one friend had them blow-out on his car, and I just saw a car int he junkyard with most of them blown. Skunk2 just came out with a high performance strut which you can find for only $250 a set. Amazing deal compared to other struts with the same features. I've heard they ride nice, and the look to be built pretty well.

Danronian,

Does the front lip hit/rub when parking...say on a curb or parking spot divider?

Thanks and your car looks great!

Yeah I might just go with with Skunk2 for the struts and coilovers. Actually I might just go cheaper and get the Skunk2 struts and lowering springs. i dont plan on changing heights of the drop and they are considerably cheaper than the coilovers.
