That $200 + GST was parts only!!! Its good to have a contact in a Honda Parts!!!

Would like a set of Speaker rings but the price here in Brisbane way to much.

Does any one know a place where I can get the speaker rings at a good price???

[I CU2]

Yeah, I can't tell the difference in that picture?

Doesn't the euro already come with a silver speaker surround?

What's with the interior panel set as well, looks the same as the silver trim in the car?

Hey guys, I posed this in the "No Cu2's In Aust?" thread but I think I'll probably get a better response here... Thanks in advance!

I'm still in two minds of what to do. The only thing I would want to do is put some 20's on it and lower it slightly so it won't look like a 4x4 if I do put rims on it.

I don't really know much about the lowering of cars so I thought I would ask some advice before I go any further (maybe I should post this in the Cu2 mods thread??). As I said I don't wanna slam it, just a modest drop to make it look better with 20's on it. Can I lower it just using Pedders springs all round? My Lancer is was dropped just using Pedders springs all round and it had no problems at all, and the ride was still pretty good. Any advice would be great.

Is there anything else I should know bout lowering a cu2 on 20's?

think the main worries are speedo and camber issues...

[inflyt247]

Any thing that could be done bout both?

I assume the speedo would read slightly slower than?

well...camber issues can be fixed by camber kit and the costs adds up.

i dont think it is just a bit slower...from what i know 19" rims would be the appropriate maximum size as the speedo reading seems to be almost spot on...say reading of 99km/h when driving at 100km/h as opposed to 96km/h read out when driving 100km/h...not exactly sure but it is there abouts.

plus by lowering and having camber issues would wear out ur tyres sooner than normally would...plus the cost to replace a single tyre is approximately low $400 per tyre....it adds up...plus found out that the prices of tyres have just gone up recently when i had to change all 4 of my tyres after 3 years...

got mine on teins ss damper kit with edfc kit with the front and rear lowered 15mm and 10mm respectively...anymore than that and camber would start to become a issue....and i am still running the standard lux rims with one finger gap on front and rear.

if you can get coilovers that would better than just springs depending on how long u gonna keep the car lowered plus gives u flexibility to adjust the height and damper depending on ur situation...
