Anyone interested in New camber-adjustable top mounts for their front suspension PM me.

BC Racing. $240 shipped a pair

I managed to strike this deal with a supplier is cheaper than you'll find anywhere

Just picked up my car from its 90k service.

Honda said the brakes that rolled off the showroom floor still have another 20k easy in them.

Benefits of a slow car! Lolz. I really cant fault this hybi. Made in Japan ftw. Haha.

In saying that the IMA Battery will prob shit itself now. Touch wood.

iou dont overlook GAB SS coilovers, I've had a set on my FD and done 15K and 3 trackdays and Im pleased by their performance. Fully height Adjustable along with Dampning I doubt you'll be disappointed. Local supplier so if anything go wrongs and the ability to order stiffer springs is a bonus !

got some 17's for the road, rubber profile isnt ideal being 235/45/17 but no real rubbing !! lol

Ok, Im confused. I got some Advan RS wheels and I need new slimmer lugs so I can fit a wrench w/o damaging the wheel. If that makes sense.

Anyways, Im reading that our stock lugs are an acorn design and lugs that I have to get for my Advans are tapered. The confusion is, some sites are saying tapered=acorn and others are saying tapered =/= acorn. =_= So which is it? O.o

and how do I know what socket I need for each different design lug? E.g I need 19 for stock nuts but Im looking for a smaller nut so I can use a smaller socket, but the companies never mention this specification. Is there something Im missing, like 2 standardised sizes for lugs?

and PS: Im ordering http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/work/rs-z-billet-nuts to fit the Advans on my civic. am I right for the sizing?

Harry, neer use OEM lugs with aftermarket wheels

OEM honda wheels are ball seated and aftermarket wheels are conical



do NOT mix them or you'll get a localised crushing failure and your nuts will come off.

Also dude, i'll show you my nuts next time,







And i'll show you my lug nuts too. i got extended lugs and they're awesome for your purposes.

Lol, yeh, I figured that. Just got confused as what I read had OEM Honda lugs labeled as Acorn when the proper label is Ball seat.

I was eyeing on extended or spline. Was really leaning to those But was contemplating getting ones with locks.

Im pretty sure you're rocking these

I havent heard of any cases of people jacking wheels here in perth. So I dunno if it's worth the investment. My car is parked outside most of the time and I take the train to TAFE. But I dont think they'd have the time to jack my wheels. lol. They're 2nd hand Advans and not like VS or BBS's.
Curtis, I wanna try and get them ordered within the next few days as my target is to get my new wheels on my car before the next PHC meet.

oh and yes people's wheels get jacked all the time, the extended nuts are only going to make it easier.
