Hey guys,

I have got 2008 Honda Accord Euro lux Cu2 Manual Transmission

This thread has 4 areas that I have planned out to Mod

1) Coil overs
2) Wheel suggestion
3) Intake
4) DBA or RDA Rotors with good PAD Suggestion

Coil Over Suggestions
I finally have the budget to mod my cu2, I have a couple of questions
I am located in Sydney. So the two tune shops that I know are BYP Performance(wetherill park) and Extreme project(blacktown). I called both asked them that I need a comfortable drive with also better handling. I don't want rock hard drive.
Somewhere in the middle of being comfortable and Good handling(better than stock), i'll also be lowering the car atleast 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches.

The folks at BYP performance suggested GAB coilovers tbh I have never heard of them. Any experience with these coil overs will be greatly appreciated.

The folks at Extreme Project world Suggested BC Coil overs, I have heard good things and bad things about them. Any one put them on cu2? any suggestion will be appreciated.

If any other coil overs ? like silver neo and etc?
Any experience will be greatly appreciated.

Both GAB and BC are around 1500 Dollar mark

Wheels
I am a big Fan of Vossen cv3 but they are out of my budget and I don't want to get replicas. Other similar style are
->King Hostile http://www.kingwheels.com.au/index.p...product_id=277
->PDW C-Spec https://www.google.com.au/search?q=P...ml%3B420%3B315
->V19BSA Wheel http://www.bsawheels.com.au/products...t_no=943&Name=

I have decided to get Wheels
So i know the Stock CU2 wheels are
55+ offset, *18x8* Tyre is 235/45R18 98V
5x114.3 Bolt Pattern

My question is will it fit?
(going by what the guy at BobJane T-mart said that I can't get any higher than 8inch which is stock) So can any one confirm that? Has any one put More than 8 inches ? Back or Front? where ever? The reason I want to put more than 8 is the wider the wheel the more concave the wheel is.

1st Scenario
19x8.5 ALL round?
254/40/R19 ?

2nd Scenario
20x9 All round? or at the back
254/35/R20

Will it fit? What's the maximum I can put ? Any one else done wheels for cu2? I don't want to put stock 8 inches. Atleast 8.5 maybe 9 All round or at the back. Whats the maximum in wheel width I can go <8. I don't want to roll my guard or stretch my tyres
Is it even safe to stretch your tyres?

INTAKE
Which works best or has a good Sound note to it?

Two that I know are

Simoto Short Ram intake
-> http://www.shiftperformance.com.au/p...ory_name=Honda

Injen Long Ram intake
->http://jdmyard.com/index.php?route=p...product_id=226

Massive Price difference?

Which one is better? My Mates got a Simoto Intake it sounds better than injen.
Any input on intakes would be appreciated? And hows the fuel economy with the intake. appreciate it thanks

Rotors And Pads
DBA slotted T2 Any experience with them? Just for stree Drive and /w what Pad? i was recommended bendix?

or

RDA dimple and slotted and /w Pads?


why is there a difference in price in these two rotors? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
momo
