DO NOT TORCH YOUR SPRINGS, that would be the worst thing to do. Trust me we did it oon one of our friends integra, just as an experiment, and it came out awful. Just save up some money for Intrax or Eibachs. Sucks that you missed out on those slicers but why don't you paint yours? You could do two at a time or one at a time and put on the spare while you are painting one at a time. If you are looking for cheap wheels just keep an eye out on eBay, I will be posting mines soon

. But yeah don't torch your springs and don't half ass things becuase if you do you will really hate your SHO. If you are going to do something then do it right the first time because it will be worth it and you won't have to do it all over again.
