In other news, ordered Koni/Neuspeed Sport dampeners for the rear. I deemed then necessary for replacement because they are far worse than the front. Those will be here probably 5 days, so mid-next week they'll be ready for install.
I also almost have my H23 plenum ready. It's all painted, prepped and I'm ready to swap TPS's, but I'm waiting for two IACV o rings and a piece of coolant hose.
So yea, I'll update soon!

Here is an image of the dampener.
Best price I found was from neuspeed.com
Here is what they say about them:
Developed by NEUSPEED Race Engineering and working with Koni engineers, we have developed a fully externally adjustable gas shock absorber for Acura and Honda applications. These shocks are exclusive to NEUSPEED and fully adjustable in seconds with just the turn of a knob. The NEUSPEED/Koni shocks also feature an adjustable spring perch to level the car (5 machined grooves on the shock body for 5 positions of adjustment) - the most desirable handling position, as well as, a 20mm shorter droop length for use with lowering springs.
Looked like the best of everything to me, fits my application. I called Koni and they said that they are rated for up to 400 in/lb springs and 2" drops.

F22HB: Yea, I wasn't sure, but people said that adjustable dampening aren't as good. But we'll see...from everything I researched, they looked the best for my setup and springs.
90ACCord: will do, I'll be buying the fronts as well when I have some money. They look nice!

So, wow long time since I've been here. Sorry been busy with work
Updates:
H23 manifold - still sitting around cuz I've been way lazy lately. Got all the parts together finally, stupid little gaskets. And it's almost ready to go in. Just need a few hours....maybe tomorrow.
Koni/Neuspeed - so apparently the entire working population of Europe takes a break in August, and the Koni struts were on back order from Neuspeed, so I won't get those till mid-September. And I'm out of the country until then. So that will be a while....and my income for such modifications is lessening, saving for an engagement ring and all....!
Also going to look into anti-sway bars. In general, really not happy with the looseness of my suspension, really need to tighten that up.
Later...if I'm not too lazy I may post a few pictures tonight!

So I took some more pictures of the manifold, throttle body, etc. which I customated, pretty tight. But there at home on the computer hopefully I'll get them up soon! Sway bars should be here tomorrow or Wednesday, they shipped from So Cal yesterday.
