A lip will cover 80% of the imperfections on that front bar

I'm playing a game of Words With Friends (iPhone Scrabble) with my gf, and the letters I started with were R E S P R A Y. 56 points!
Hm, a front lip would definitely help.
What the price on the canon 5d.. would you recommend?Quote:

You can get a second-hand Canon 5D in good condition for $1500 or less. I'm not a Nikon hater, but I much prefer Canon personally, and I wholeheartedly recommend the 5D. I love using it.Quote:

Ha, the looks aren't important, but the fact that the 550D is made in Japan, while the D3100 is made in Thailand, is a major deciding factor for me. We're on a Honda forum, so we should all agree that there's no point buying from Thailand when you can get Japanese build quality!Quote:

Ballin, is that at a 7/11?
Enkei tarmacs fitted. Now to find some tyres in the correct profile. Thinking federal 595rsr..

Washed it yesterday, turned out pretty shitty though. Think from now on I will just do it at home.
faark that looks good. I just got federal RS-R's and they grip and turn in like crazy! maybe not the best if you daily drive your teg because street semi's have a pretty gnarly treadwear rate. still a better rate and grip then KU36's I've heard.Quote:

Getting a 2.25inch canon sports exhaust, need some sort of sound and power :D

Cheers for the info. The ku36 should last longer (180 wear rating vs. 140 for the 595rsr) but they don't come in 205/45/16.Quote:

ahh ok, I was told that it was the other way round. guess you can't believe everything you hear huh? :S
anyway the specs on the wheels are 16x7 +33 6.9kg each. tyres are 205/45R16.
these wheels work perfectly for the way my car sits, just a nice offset and no guard rolling required! :)
Cool well technically when I get my tyres the wheels should sit essentially the same as yours with no rolling required :). I think mine are poking more atm because of the big tyres I am currently running and the height the car is at. However, soon to be fixed!
yeah it looks like your tyres over hang the wheels lip a bit, my old 17's had that and they rubbed the guards whenever I hit a reasonable bump, but now nothing at all :)Quote:

All of your wheels look sick, guys. Good spray job on the black and red, looks great. And your black DC5 looks mean, Peach!

Anyone wana buy a Spoiler ? ;)
Keep the spoiler just incase you wanna sell the car, no one's gonna buy that shit anyway, not even for $5. You planning to go lower man? Wingless doesn't work that well with stock height imo
Yeah i'll see what happens with the wing, going to have the car for quite a long time. And yeah planning on getting some king/eibach springs soon. Im not happy at all with the height that its at now.. lol
Not going to get these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/94-01-Int...item4aae1f8ad4
But what do you think? xD
Looking at these 2.5" Drop http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKUNK2-Ci...ht_2630wt_1143
My take on the whole lowering thing is first lower just a tad, maybe 1.5" and learn to drive around like that, angling driveways, learning where you can go and where you can't. Then after that, go whatever height you want cos you'll be able to judge. But don't go really low off the bat, you gonna fkn rip off your front bar or some shit.
I'm on king springs but i've never used other springs so i can't really provide a comparison. My opinion is that it looks better, good price (esp. second hand) but they are just way too soft, a lot of suspension travel so your wheel moves up and down a lot, depending on width and offset it'll scrub on your guards. Train tracks are really these springs worst enemy. Speed humps are ok if you slow down enough but my breakfast comes up every morning when i go over the rails and my P plate falls off the dash lol
2.5" front will be ok if you don't have a lip (i've got slightly under 2" with a mugen lip and i can get around) but when turning it might rub depending on your wheels. 2.25" rear is about what i've got, doesn't tuck, you need about 3" for a good tuck
my opinion after wasting money on 2 sets of lowering springs in to get coilovers.
then slam it
BC's BR series coilovers are great quality and nice and cheap.
don't get lowering springs past an inch and a bit without lowered shocks if you care about handling haha.
i also have these and recommend them!Quote:

Anyway thanks for all the useful information everyone.
Practical + looks = 1 finger gap + lip

And the rims are not that bad, weights in at around 6kg.
This probably belongs in the noob thread, but if I put chrome tail lights on my car will it handle better?
fo sho it willz brahseph
Why so many people got stupid ass chrome tail lights? They aren't even cheap... must be cos they got them plastered all over the walls at supercheap and autobarn eh
The wheels are too small, and the car is too low. Terrible combination.
got some H4H HIDS on my da9 today, ignore my parkers, will get leds soon and got my accord lip on the other day. will be getting accord side skirts on soon also ;D

Nah, mounted it back on.... Just.Quote:
