Em1 civic roll call!!

[Mikecivic78]

thanks.. they are rota grids.. kind of regret not finding the stock alloys as the car came with chromes but oh well

those are very nice rims, definitely better than EM1 stockies. 16x7 right? What offset are they?

Your car reminds me of my car when I got it, it's the same colour and also clean.

You gotta remove that front badge for the EK9 look, It's real simple, just remove the front bar (takes 5 minutes) and simply take out the mounting screws.

I was just thinking about your tyre size and correct me if I'm wrong, but with that tyre size, your speedo will be out. It'll be showing more on the speedo than you are actually going. If you stick with that profile, then after while your odometer reading will actually be more ks than you've actually driven.

It's only a minor change from stock EM1, but it might mean not getting a speeding ticket because 62 will actually be 60 (but don't forget that factory speedos always show just that little bit more speed on the speedo in stock form). I know cause I used to have under-sized-profile tyres on my EM1.

But back to ur car, with that size, the tyres retain a nice profile and the 195 on 15x7 gives it just a hint of the stretched look. Now you just need to do the suspension. For EM1 I highly recommend EK9 rear sway + ASR (if you have't already done it) then your choice of spring and shock or coilovers (which ever is your thing).

correct! it worked out to be approx 200bucks cheaper than to get the one with the 55 profile (i know some of you guys are shaking your head right now but im asian meaning im stingy and an apprentice meaning im poor..). The guys at bob jane who fitted them for me did inform me of this and worked out with some computer program that the speedo would be out by some % where "if the speedo read 100kmph your actually going 97kmph". i felt that i wouldnt be cheating anybody if i do decide to sell the car so went ahead with it.

cheers for the advice as well i was actually looking in to the ASR the past few days.. mind as well save up and do it all at once with the coilovers. could i ask what spring/shock/coilover setup your using or recommend?
