Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

was going to say +9 .. but when I saw the huge amount of camber it sort of threw off my answer, I can't find any real lead to the specs.

the offset I'd say +35 .. as its the highest it would go without any problems.

this is the link to the canibeat feature:

yeah probably 35 considering the amount of camber - and the massive gap up front between tyre and fender is probably because he installed genuine fd2r fenders (which have more clearance than stock fd).

If you're looking for a well balanced ride for the street, you cannot go past koni + ground control (in terms of value for money)

hey man noob question here. I'm looking for better handling and lowering my car (probably to minimum legal height - 10cm). I'm looking at Tanabe NF+ coils at the moment. Would the Koni/Ground control be better in terms of value for money for a daily civic? Not planning to track the car at all. Thanks.

The only thing Steve lacks with his setup is adjustability. If you wanna dump the car then coilovers are what you want. stance = coils only because when you're running close to flush then you don't want much movement and with coils you can tighten them up to that degree.

If you're looking for performance and getting a bit lower then fun with the Koni/XXXXXX spring option. Neither are a bad choice.

i had the tanabe NF+ --> spring rates are way too soft if you're planning on going for a stanced look - you will bottom out and scrape and rub and all this retarded shit on these coils lol.

in terms of daily driveability, how low you can go, and comfort - they're quite good and cheap-ish too. I never hit the track myself but my mate who had the same coils on an fd did and said they were decent. But i suspect the rates are too soft for any decent track work

yes, quite easily. I think the koni + gc is around $1.1k

i'm guessing the tanabes cost a fair bit more? (got NFI)

spring rates can always be changed, especially with the ground control sleeves
