A quick video of the latter half of my commute to work in my $500 '98 Honda Civic. The mount exaggerates any bumps. It's suction cupped to the glass and the phone seems to wiggle around in reaction to bumps that don't actually exist.

Also, lol. I need to tie down my subwoofer better. Drive over railroad tracks = kaTHUNK

Replace those cut springs and blown shocks :)

Quick struts are awesome.

I have a guy sending me some used Konis for $100+shipping. They won't ride like a pillow, but the adjustability is a fantastic thing to have and they should help my lap times (I bought this car primarily for autox use, but it's so nice I DD it. Funny how that worked out) significantly, and I definitely can't argue with the price.

Oh, that's not bad then! I didn't know you already had replacements on the way.

as a 1.6el driver on lowering springs and blown shocks... I relate a bit too much. Also, Konis inbound. Go figure.

Oh wow you have a 1.6EL? That's awesome! I really wish we got the EL and CSX down here. The quality, reliability, and economy of a Civic but with some more luxury and prestige! And those EL's have orange gauges too!
