Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

[JOhnnyFD]

to be honest here... the dc5r rims look too OEM-looking for me.. are they 16, 17"??

but that front lip looks good.. car needs to be lowered definitely.. make that front lip stand out

[ekdez]

they are 16" johnny. they too small for fd. need 17",18"+

@ .k., what do i think of your new mod..
not the biggest fan of your new rims. although its far better then rolling on steelies! =]
i hate fat tires. sorry LOL.. should get a 40 profile on that and then slam like bricisa, i think, the guy with the black fd on buddyclubs. then it'd be ok =]

[.k.]

yeh big step up from steelies =]

usually im not a fan of fat tyres either but in this case they help to fill up the guards and make car less 4wd looking, will be lowered sometime this year i hope once tax money comes back i'll look into getting coilovers n dump the biatch!

i was going to buy enkei rp01's black w/ blue lip but seller was an r-tard

[ekdez]

yeah the black ones u showed everyone a while back?
17"s yeah? should have grabbed them

or even those fn2r wheels on here for sale.. they'd have filled your gaurds and looks even better then the dc5 ones..

[Brescia]

thanks edm branch - few pics of new mods:

What profile tyre are they?
16"s are a good size imo, i have 16's and im not going any bigger

[JOhnnyFD]

18" FTW.. haha

[Fung]

ill be happy with 17"

[aero]

at least u got em cheap, khoi. why would u save for coils? u gonna be doing some tracking? id just dump it on low as springs lol.. save myself some money to just go for the looks

[.k.]

i just want the adjustability and be able to hav fun on mt runs. scared if i get springs it won't be the right drop i want etc?

[ekdez]

id just dump it on low as springs lol.. save myself some money to just go for the looks

if you drop your car on real low springs (more then 1.5") your stock shocks will blow in no time..

they will leak and it will be the worst ride and you'll reminisce on the times when you had stock shock/spring combo and was contemplating the option of coilovers.

[black8thgen]

oh.. so dropping 2" on skunk2 springs will fk my shocks over?.. lucky you told me now lol.. looks like i wont drop until i get coils then.. phew.. haha. how about 1.4" on tein stechs?

[aero]

i just dont like a stiff ride. i know that some coilovers do have adjustable dampening, but they do cost more than the cheaper ones and the ride comfort is still harsh. id go for a spring and shock combo coz i just want the lowered look and i'll only be driving on the streets, not track.

u can get away with a good amount of time on the stock shocks before they blow, and when they do, u can always get the shocks to fit ur lowering springs, right?
a good set of springs and shocks may only cost the same amount (or cheaper) as a cheapo quality coilover. if i just wanted to lower my car, i'd go for the springs. i have no money to turn my fd into a performance beast lol
