Oh Simon... If only you could get out of your driveway like that... Lifes a bi**h...
simon, could you post a pics of your whole car, wana see wat the mugen lip looks like =)
I will take some better pics soon, I'm thinking about selling the lip as it is a bit too low for my liking.. Let me know if you're looking for one :)
Yeah the mugen front lip does go a bit low. Go for a euro-r front lip, would look good on your car :D
Wish I didn't sell my N+ :(
Hmm, i am still loving my N+'s got the front out last night, rears hopefully coming out today :( selling them and selling the EURO :( :( :( :(
My euro might be gone by the weekend too.
Sad to hear :( What are you guys changing to from the euro?
Patrol. Hopefully.
Still dont want to get rid of it, but one day again i will buy another CL9 or maybe a CU2. I love my car, and it has certainly lived up to my honda standards. Missing my DC2R as well.
Not gonna sell the euro now. Was gonna sell and buy a cheaper car but have changed my mind now
Hey guys, I'm thinking of lowering my 05' lux euro soon.. (since tax I have a lot of upgrades in mind :D ) .. I'm hoping for something like these.. but I'm clueless what the best option is.. I want it done properly, no backyard style stuff. Is it better to change springs? or just shocks? Or both?
These are sort of what I want.. > http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...505op.jpg/sr=1

Or even this, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vwsIHg-lUx...600/755555.jpg
I'm going to keep my stock rims (Euro R 17" alloys) but yeah.. Would gladly appreciate some help!
I am waiting my buddyclub N+ coilover shipping come. Then I can low it with ingall camber kit. I got an extra set of camber to get rid of as well.
If you just want the look get springs, if you want better handling get springs and shocks.Quote:

I'll probably just go with the springs
I recall Eibach/Bilstein setup will get you that desired low. I'm saving up myself for it but I'm sure there are people here that can tell you first hand.
^^^^ wwooooooo, now for some rimmzzzz =D
King springs = cheap but do the jobQuote:

Any spring really.
Is it okay to run aftermarket lowering springs on standard shocks? like TEIN S-Techs?
You may but your shocks will be killed sooner, & ride will not be that comfortable.Quote:

Here is mine. I have no idea what the rims are called but they are 18's by 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear with 225/40 rear and 215 front. I am using BC coilovers which are maxed out in the rear.

Lowered on Racing Logic adjustable coilovers with enkei revolution RS II 17x8 on the front and 17x9 on the rears.
How much were the Racing Logic coils?
Looks really sweet man, how's the ride quality?
roughly 1200 shipped to my door, I can still literally lower the car to the floor, but Speed bumps would kill me and I like the ride, nice and tough, holds well through corners. thanks man!
Buddy Club coilovers, standard spring rates, 17x9.5 +?? and 17x9 +??Quote:

desperately needs wheels..

Not a great pic but just a test run with height. Will add spacers soon. Height is perfect for daily but sits a cm on the tyre of the 19's

still need work done to make it less appealin to the police :P
You're fitment on the rear is perfect. Front however, in my opinion doesn't look good, too much poke but its a personal preference at the end of the day.
yeh dats cool.. im not 1 to blow up at ppls opinions :P lookin at pumpin the guards and more camber to fit in the guards more..Quote:

new to ozhonda, heres one of my cl9! http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...70828674_n.jpg
Hey mate, just curious. What size wheels are those? 17's or 18's? Cos i'm going to be leaving my stock Euro-R style 17's on and just don't want wheels to have a huge gap with the body on them but yours sits nice!Quote:

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...85863313_n.jpg
And as for the specs of this setup, Its just:
DGR coilovers, pretty much maxed in the rears (another 2 cm thread on the coils left) the fronts I can go heaps lower (I can lay frame but thats silly..)
no caster/camber/toe rods, all stock camber (sits at about -3 degrees camber in the rear, straight up and down in the front)
As for rims, they are 17 x 8 +35 fronts and 17 x 9 + 38 rears, wrapped all in achillies ATR Sports 215/45 R17's which give stretch in the rear, basically straight up and down in the front.
Damn looks sweet man!! Diggin it!
Right now I can't decide between BC Coilovers or those Silver's NeoMax ones. Tried getting reviews on both but it seems it's limited reviews on the Silvers ones and BC seems to get the pick... I've just read a few things about popping noises with the Silvers and leaking during early km's so I'm a bit put off, as well as the safety side of things.
Look into DGR man, mine have held a god deal of punishment already, seem the goods, are solid and well made, cost me $900 to my door rather than the expected $1500 or whatever else of other ones such as buddyclub and i presume BC aernt far behind!
But yeah man, depending on the stock rims offset, (I know my stock 16's were +55 offset) so when I had them I ran 25mm spacers on the rear giving +30 offset and they ended up looking like this:
http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...14298714_n.jpg
still a ton of no-fill guard but better than what they are. Be careful with the stock rims, its hard to fill guards without HUGE spacers which are REALLY obvious and, I assume its the same for all states, Spacers are defectable.
Are these the same ones you have? They're going for $1099 - http://www.tradekr.com/cbuy_5805429_...od-cl9-usa.htmQuote:

Yeah I'm pretty sure I might need spacers, but i'll have to look into the offset on the wheels already to try and fill as much as I can, don't want that massive gap lol :P
haha yeah those are mine! but if your in AUS, which I assume you are, look for T & R Autostyling, $900 to your door.
And if you take off one of your stockies, they will have the offset printed in the rim on the back somewhere. but they SHOULD be +55, I think all stockies are +55for the Euros.
and if thats the case, you will need +25mm/+30mm in the rear and +5mm in the fronts to space :D but also depends on your tyres, those on my stockies were 205/50's federal 595's so yeah
Just had a look, yeah they're 55 (had a look on the back of the rim) and my tyres are 225/45R17, they're Bob Jane ones forgot which model but they're one of the better ones that are made by Bridgestone i think? Or something like that. Anywho those are the sizes.. haha
How well does yours handle speed bumps? lol
At the height above with the stockies on it, didnt even bother try....
At its current height, perfectly. I dont scrape on any speedbumps (clear by 2mm) but on steep gutters (such as tonight...) I scraped from the beginning of my rails behind the front whel to just past the front seats...... wasnt pretty :P But thats the way it goes.
And ok when fitting tyres, I suggest not going less than a 215/45 as a minimum size otherwise rolling diameter will start getting really small and you will go real low real quick :/
After very thorough research I've decided i'll go BC Racing Gold series coilovers haha. Gonna see how they go before I double check to see if spacers are REALLY that necessary :P Also, how did you go about your spacers anyway? You get your installer to chuck them on or did it yourself? Price setback?
Nah I install everything myself, did the 4 coilovers, and lowered it in about 3 hours of fiddling. its really not hard, the fronts have 6 bolts, the rears have two, just need a long piece of metal for a leverage bar.
And as for spacers, I stole my mates 25mm Bolt ons, they are about $100 for a pair - get decent quality, dont skimp on these.
And you will want spacers, trust me. +55 offset is seriously sunken into the guards - looks terrible.
Oh okay well then better get some, yeah I won't go cheapy stupid thing to do on such a serious safety aspect, haha might ask the dude to do it whilst he's installing. Would installers generally carry them? Or would I have to go get them myself for him to chuck on? If so, where?
Ah SOME installers would carry them, would all depend on who you go to. However, if they dont, places such as drift workshops and garages like that definitley stock them. Up here in QLD Option1 stock good quality ones, but you can also get them off ebay, just look for strong design and a decent seller and they should be fine! And they are super easy to chuck on, literally they just bolt onto your existing wheel studs where your wheel would, and then you oblt the wheel ontop of that like a normal hub so there should be no problems with installation.
