Really? I was just looking at it today on the official Progress website. They have it up for sale and the site allows you to buy it...

Unless it's actually out of stock and they never updated the site, but looks like its there

Swapped out the H-tech + GR2 for tein SS coilovers... I swear the h-tech + GR2 setup is way stiffer than the SS coilovers

Car feels more nimble or maybe it's just better tires ?

I think that's pretty soft...8 is the "recommended" for mine. I keep them on 7 or 6

Okay I set it at 6 counterclockwise from stiffest for F & R. Technically I went clockwise 4 since -10 + 4 = -6......

Thanks man, I'm really happy with them. And I'd never think to drive to my max around with an Acura symbol on there haha, in fact until I get the decal there's just no cap over the center lol.

Photography is incredible.

The ability to visually capture a single moment so that you can look back on it forever.

However the harsh truth is a photo never lies and some of the memories it brings to surface are sometimes best kept in the darkest recesses of our memory....

Finally put a 6gen rear valve cover to stop the burning. I was getting near adding a quart every month. My nostrils have thanked me

2000 SE 204k miles - new entrance control unit (relay went in old unit), new front suspension, new tires (continental DWS), brake system flush - all work done at North Plainfield Nissan. Now she's leaking power steering fluid at the tank. It never ends but I love this car.
