the 09 mugen kit is different to the 06 - 08 though.
is it possible to put the 06-08 kit on the 09 civic?

the shape is a bit different so the 06-08 mugen kit will not fit onto the 09 models and vice versa. there is a specific mugen kit for 09 models ONLY. They even have 09 Type R kits

Ooh mugen kit for 09 doesn't look quite right :(
Then again it already looks like a Type-R bumper

Hendra, you're a civil as well? Nah i'm not thinkin about changing rims for a while. It's fine as it is... 'cept for the fact that i was playin wif my fone and kerbed it the other day :(

its worth it..
no problems what so ever and ive had them for a good few months now.
and they are turned up high on the dampers too so, very good quality! im very happy with it!
errrrmmm apart from the odd rattle, due to me putting my dampers to the stiffest.. (you cant avoid the odd rattle when you have it stiff) they are very quiet, just like oem sus. no clunks or creeks etc..

mm if you wanted.. you can put the car on the ground with 18"s.. just gotta have the guard work done. atm i cant fit my OEM jack under the car on my stockies :( i had to borrow my mates pro jack esh! a lot of playing around to get the car lifted high enuf to get the wheels off..

i actually broke my OEM jack.. cos my car fell of it :( it hurt my side skirt too.. the paint has spider webed.. ill show you laer what i mean..

rofl, i like my 09 bumper, but i like the 06-08 mugen lip and foggies and not the 09 lip and foggies(cuz it doesn't give me the look i'm going for). so its kinda a crappy combo.

it is the type R lip for 09 bumper

damn i can't get genesis because they don't make the sizes for FD!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It is cheaper than normal ce28n because of the financial crisis rays made it cheaper and made the sizes most common.
* 18 x 9.5, +28, 5 x 114.3
* 18 x 9.5, +34, 5 x 114.3
* 18 x 9.0, +35, 5 x 114.3
* 19 x 9.5, +22, 5 x 114.3
* 19 x 10.5, +22, 5 x 114.3

going to get the gunmetal ce28n now. $4380 i think. gotta decide in 2 days lol because his container is going to be all packed up n takes 4 weeks to make it. order now and receive in october. mmmm long wait

You reckon I would be safe if i lower my car so its .5 finger gap on 18 x 8" that I will be safe without rolling guards?

And wow how did the car fall on the jack? I would have shit my pants haha

yeah you'll be ok =] is your offset is in the 40's?
so far i think ive lowered my car around 3 to 4" hence why i have problems..

well i think i tried to raise the car on the rear right jackpoint too high and i'm pretty sure i had 3 wheels off the ground cos my coilovers only give 1 to 2 cm's, and then it just fell away from me.. cos of the uneven weight.. lol

newbie mistake :(

i was also thinking of getting the ce28n forumla silver edition in the same offset you mentioned above. but they conflicted with the front cos its hits the coils for me, so the only offset that i could prob take is 19x8.5+29 which sticks out WAYYY too much... well way to much to get a defect :o but it will look aggressive. thats an evo offset. so now im thinking about weds sa-70 18x8+36
18-08-2009, 05:50 PM

just get an evo =D

Rubbing

Hi Guys,

I just put the rims (19' x 8 x offset 38) couple of days ago with tyres 235/35/19.

Now I am experiencing rubbing both of the rear.

I am planning to rolled up the rear fender.

Any suggestion or other alternative guys?

Thanks

the place where i got my wheels put on rolled my guards for free coz my offset was +35. but it didnt help coz i still got scrubbing issues lol. which is why my wheels are currently back in the shop getting the offset machined up.
u may not want to do that tho, coz there is a risk in doing it...

so, i guess the best thing would probably be to roll ur guards (in most cases it does help), then get some stiffer suspension, like coilovers and perhaps a camber kit.

My 18 rims............
20-08-2009, 03:45 PM
aero

just got my wheels machined up about 4mm.. so they're sitting at around +39 offset? surprisingly it has helped a lot. i was carrying my stockies in the car on the way home from the wheel shop and there was hardly any scraping noise in the back. compared to when i first had the wheels on with +35 offset, there was a big difference in the amount of scrubbing.

for the $50 i paid them to do it, id say it was a good spend. i know it will make the wheel structure slightly more fragile, but ill risk it. lol

here are my 19s after i got them back on the car. note that i am on stock suspension and the car only looks lowered because of the stock wheels inside the car and it was also parked on a slope :p

some one in perth is selling their ce28ns bronze
think its "wn2r" or something number plate.
3.8k with toyo tyres. not quite sure about the whole thing just what friend told me.

might be wrong camber set up.. get it aligned at negative camber..
20-09-2009, 01:42 PM
black8thgen

im taking a serious look at some rims with these specs:

19x8 +40

nothing insane, but i don't want any scrubbing at all.. and im on stock sussy atm.. reckon i'd have any issues whatsoever? cos .k. had 19x8 +38 i think? and he said he was scrubbing kinda badly...

so yeah any help wud be appreciated lol...
20-09-2009, 07:05 PM
ekdez

19x8 +40 is good specs.
i had 19x8 +42 before my current wheels.

the problem which people encounter is the tire size and profile..
you just gotta play around with tire sizes to find the best fit.. its expensive thats all..
20-09-2009, 07:06 PM
black8thgen

ah okay sweet. cheers =D
20-09-2009, 07:14 PM
.k.

nah i never had 19x8, probably aero.. but he got his offset machined down and hes getting coils so shud be sweet.
20-09-2009, 07:52 PM
black8thgen

oh yea aero.. oopsie.. LOL. my bad =D
20-09-2009, 08:50 PM
aero

lol yeah, i have 19x8.5 +35 and it was pretty bad on scrubbing with 4 or more adults in the car, so i got the offset taken up about 3-4 millimetres. the scrubbing is a lot less than before but on my current stock suspension, there is still a bit of scrubbing.

i wanna get some thinner tyre's but with a legal load rating so i dont get owned by cops. right now im on 235/35/19 and i wanna go 225s, but only 225 tyres for 19" wheels ive seen with load rating at 91Y or above and a relatively low profile are 225/40/19.. but they're not cheap.

on the plus side, i will be finally changing my suspension this week. coilovers should arrive and should be able to lower the car and ease the scrubbing issue, even if only only slightly.

then i can save for new tyres and a camber kit that can give me some good negative camber. so far i havnt heard much in fd camber kits besides skunk2 and megan racing
