I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Finally lowered my car!!!.......kinda......

general car and site related talk and chat.

well i called a local shop and a guy will do it. he seemed knowledgable. i told him the situation and he said he thinks they can do it. they will pull the old shock and put in the remaining spring for 40 bucks. he said they may break the bolt, but honda has some so ill go get them just incase. so if they break it, they can still drill it out and use the new one. until then ill soak that bitch in PB blaster.

hopefully this works :scared:
