Hey all,

Got some new rims for my 99 EK today - just posting it in here cos none of my friends care :cry: and the guys at Donnellans - place in Boxhill Melb. where I got them said I could lower it quite a bit. I'm just saying this because a lot of ppl in this forum told me you can't - but these wheels don't look as big as I thought they would but are still SIIIICK! I think I'm in love 8) Will post pics later when i get a digi camera.

That's HRV :lol: j/k

Yeah, I've got 17" rims on my VTi-R coupe too. Lowered 2 inches f&r but I'm not 100% happy with it. It seems the rear is higher than the front...

I got some High speed Racing ones - HR-125's five spoke - I need to paint my callipers - i think thats it red or whit or black - they look funny - and it's like I'm driving a fricken bus it needs lowering that bad. So where and when is this meet you ppl r talking about? Cos if I can make it I'll come for sure. All i need to do to the outside now is replace grill with type-r grill, front and rear lip, side skirts and my gf is buying me some fogs for Christmas. :D Oh and I might be getting a pair of red recaros!! SICK!

Actually - reconsidering the Recaros - can't afford em but they're $800 brand new and shrink wrapped for the two. But one thing is to consider do they fit and there's like a tube thingy under Honda seats and if you remove that, so I'm told, it resets all your air bags so you need seats with those thingies. If you guys want I can tell you they're at www.melbccr.com/ in the forums section plus there is a pair of DBX seats for $1000 brand new and they look even better - but RECAROS.... 8)

OH and how much did ya lower it? 1.5' or 2'??? Can u let me know cos i really don't know how much i can lower my car without my tyres being rubbed to the shitter. :roll: I just wanna say my 17's rock! :wink:

i lower to 1.5"... runs good! and i got KING springs!!! they yellow ! hehehe
i felt better driving it.. handling felt better too..well when i first got the rims.. and no lowering... felt shitty*(duno if u felt the same) when u trun corners with the new spring felt more stabile....thats only thing i can notice so far.... :wink:

yeah i know 17 rocks !! ... 17 rocks !!!( *** tony ... 17 rocks bro !!! hahahah )

yeah i thought 15. the handling is a bit shitty - sways and slides a little but the new tyres dont help either. Thanks for the advice dude
