has the hybirds got swaybars :| LOL
thats what i was thinking.
there's also a rattle thats coming from the front right.. AWESOME! lol
yeah i got rattles too :( even on stockies..
cant avoid it when u start to mod cars.. sucks
mines in the front left.. its annoying cos its out of reach..
but then again in the front right.. might be in reach and annoy you more haha
never had the rattle till the guards got ripped. its prob some plastic shit flapping about..
vince was tripped out by the rears rubbing.. wants to look at it tommorow.
yeah they shouldnt rub man.
i never had any rubbing in my car.
none what so ever.
hope he can fix it for ya!!!
might be your springs man. :\
I think I may have found something. Try this http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120314 unless you were after the optional ones.Quote:

as you's will prob know..
my old lm's were 18x8 and 18x9 +35 rims
reckon it would be stupid if i went 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +38
both front and rear..
Inner Clearance: 9mm LESS
Outer Position:EXTEND an extra 3mm
thats comparing the two specs above.
1cm on the inside sounds heaps :\ might hit the inner wall of my wheel thing
http://img243.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...7wrwn65954.jpg
those are the wheels im looking at!! such a nice colour :(
prob wont end up getting them.. i dont want dramas with fender work :\
do it! haha
wont that 9mm difference hit the front of your coil? cos i know for me it definitely would... a 8.5+29 works for me but it would seem to stick out too much... or else i wouldve gotten 19" ce28s :p
we are after the same things my hong kong brother LOL (u are honkie rite??)Quote:

im thinking the 1cm less on the inner wall is just TOOO much and will hit my coil overs :(
unless i run 10mm spacers and UBER stretched tires
or just ride high and boat LOL
nah fk it.. to much effort.
FML!
stig im getting your numberplates too. sorry. FML is best, right about now.
you could run a 10mm spacer, STRETCHED tyres and air suspension ;)
i aint a baller. lol
but yes in theory that would work quite well :( sheeet
or should i just go these..
carlsson 1/11 RS 18x8 +40 18x9 +40 :\
and have 5mm less on inner clearance LOL...
http://img225.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...wiyqe85326.jpg
a +40 is pushing it hard, but it will work if you run stretched tyres... and knowing you, you would haha
nah not those man.. they're like.. 6 spoke design (but each spoke has 2 bits).. cant explain it pics later lol cbf atmQuote:

since i'm getting 19x8.5 +45
will i need to get springs or new suspension straight away? or will it be fine and not scrub.
Also what is recommended if i want more of a comfortable ride, change springs only or whole thing?
lastly what brand is good for springs/coilovers?
stock suspension should be fine, just run some stretched tyres on it to minimize scrubbing, perhaps a 225/35/19?
more comfortable ride is to change the spring as well as the shock, you can change the spring first then when your stock shocks blow then change the shocks afterwards.
there is no chance you are going to coils to fit with the wheels so springs is the way to go. i had eibach sportlines on mine and they were alright but if you want a bigger drop get skunk2 then afterwards some bilisten shocks or koni yellows
thats my suggestion :)
ok cools, so springs 1st and then shocks.
how much drop is the eibach? what will i need for a 1 or 2 finger gap drop?
have you heard of espelir? cause i can get them for like $380 instead of eibach for $497 with jdm.
how much are the koni yellow shocks?
eibach is like a 1.4 or 1.5" drop.. so about 3.8cm drop from stock height.. and skunk2 is 2.25" front and 2" rear (about 5.7cm front and 5.08cm rear).
you will scrub. i think the offset is wrong. stock vti-L wheels are 16x6.5 +45.. you adding another 2" onto your rim width on a 19" rim... i dunno man.. up to you tho.Quote:

i guess i will have to run coils then if 18's already scrub.
maybe run bolt on spacer, stretched tyres, whatever cost the least haha.
oh do air suspensions give the softest ride? ... .. .
oh hell no...Quote:

i woulda thought airbags make it comfortable since it's so compressible.
totally fuks up ur handling though
yeah that's what i thought.
ok so u wouldn't really drive around daily with airbags, mainly to like car shows or trying to get sum chicks? lol
i guess back to coilovers, what is the average price of coils? 2.3k?
should i run, 225/35 tyres?
You can get plenty of fd coilovers for less than that price. But if u have that much to spend, better put it to use and get a good quality set.
225/35/19 or maybe 225/40 should be a good size tyre. U can try stretching some 215/35 or 215/40 tyres on them but I'd be too scared lol. Ekdez would probably tell u to go 205 wide Tyres, but he's crazy lol :P
tbh.
if you havent rolled your lips or done any guard work, then go a 225/35 or a 215/35 =], all depends on how strong the side walls are.
40 profile is to big on a 19", i reckon. ask stig his 19" king. ive only ever owned 1 set of 19" for fd and they only lasted a few weeks.
here is a 225/40 on a 8" rim on the front
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...y/Image143.jpg
and here is a 225/40 on a 9" rim at the rear.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...y/Image147.jpg
as you can see pretty tight already..
and your rim is going to be .5" wider and 1+" taller in rim and tire..
and if you intend to run a spacer, to accommodate for the higher offset, then your rim will poke out of the car more..
gonna be fun fitting them.. but its doable
paid for my rims today =]
http://img153.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...xtznb33673.jpg
^ wtf, rims galore... specs?
yeah liquid, run 225/35/19 all round and you should be fine, if you are planning to go coils, then you need something like 215/35/19 at the front or 205/35/19 even with at least a 10mm spacer (15mm recommended) and your front guards rolled.
i might be selling my tein ss mid/end next month for bags, just waiting next month for prices and see how it goes from there :p
Baller!!!
bags or air runners?
bags are like 2g a set in wollongong for basic kit.
air runners.. i'd like to know price too =] i might join you on group buy stig =]
air runners are a tad too much and i dont really want to spend that much on a civic, is250 yes, civic no, 2nd had yes :)
just waiting for prices on 'air force'
yeah let me know.
dan was gonna tell me about airforce+d2 but i forgot to ask back on $$
how much for the tein's stig?
yeah lol he told me to wait next month when they get the shipment in, im just clearing a coke can at the front and i'm like still the highest out of my mates -_-Quote:

i want opinion from experience not just ppl who have been in a mates car once for a trip round the block
i want day to day driving, spirited driving and just bumper to bumper traffic
whats a good option?
some of ur FD's have a tough stance
i just wanna know what ppl are running suspension wise?
cheapish coils or bags are like chalk and cheese $$$ wise am i not correct? weird that you would put the two in the same sentance...
anyway i run brand new pedders spring with stock shocks and its OK. (for now)
i dont know jack but im gonna get a $$$ set of coilover SECOND hand. that will do the trick for me anyway.
for bags you can get a REALLY good set of coils lol
^^ thats what i was thinking...
but bags are hellapractical compareed to being slammed on coils.
unless u can get coils with an adjustable ride height from inside the car..
coils handle better than bags tho. its up to you, if ur want to be lowered for show or performance. the only pro i can say for bags is the ability to adjust ride height in seconds... that and you can literally park ur car on the ground :p
i wonder how bags handle on a civic or accord??.... floaty boaty??...
anyone know? stig and dez?
http://img169.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...mphhy28757.jpg
i like this. 18x8 +45
we will confirm by the end of the year :)Quote:

honestly, it suts the car better than an evo 7/8/9 wing does to an evo, better than a DC5R wing on a DC5, and better than a wrx-box shaped wing on a wrx.
that wing looks SHIT!!!!!!!!
any wing looks SHIT!!!!!!!!!
lol. (for real)
the only car i like with a wing is MY94whateverMY99 WRX's.
wats a FD2R without a wing? each to their own i guess ..
i prefer the wing... typeR or mugen
NO HONDA SHOULD NEVER HAVE A WING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
(ok..only the little duck tail wing thingos. eg my hybrid wing/tail)
imho.
imho.. a typeR/mugen wing looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u think stongly otherwise, question Honda Japan or Mugen direct
everyone has their own tastes .. if you're after a 'stand out' look go for mugen wing, if you want a 'sleek' look go for ducktail.. but a type r wing should never be taken off a type r.
should have discussed this in the mugen kit thread we're going off topic in this wheels thread
