And too child thats f*** crazy I cant believe u put all that in to ur car and had it stolen, .. .. wtff. Thats terrible, that was a great f***in civic tho but again as far as looks I wasnt feelin it to much but bravo again to that first build child if u read this please let me know if u had any anti theft on there and how it got stolen?
Thats the main thing I worry about owning a civic..
My white coupe that was stolen didn't have much into it, but a very basic swap, cheap wheels, and I hadn't gotten to making it look better.
My red hatch and my current black coupe are done differently because both had a sound foundation when i started. I care more about the car working properly as a car before I care about how it looks. I like the whole fitment idea and everything myself, but I like when it's well thought out and not done to the extreme. The way I had my last set of wheels fit is a bit more detailed than it appears, and usually it's only people that have tried to mimic it that realize it's not so simple. Cars with crazy amounts of negative camber just to fit in the wheel arches is stupid in my opinion. Taking a wide wheel and/or tire and making it fit as if it were meant to be there in the first place is what I like.

Yeah that crazY camber to make the wheels fit is half assd and I doubt it doesa Anything for the performance of the car but I think it looks pretty cool for a car show, and makeing the wide wheels fit in there perfect would be awsome but its not always that easy hence the camber,

But child did u or do u have any anti theft on ur stolen civic or on ur new civics?

What kind of anti theft if u do and are u pretty confident about it??,
Im worried about my civic getting stolen
Any opnion on anti theft?

And suspension?? In the 750 range?
My friend got some 750 dallor suspension from some jdm shop in town and its 32 Way dampable?
Shouldd I just get that?

It does a lot for the performance, however the results are negative, not positive.

Not if you don't know what it is. Find out the brand and research it before you get anything.

Yes I did, and I do now. Security never stops a their it only slows them down, depending on their resources. My coupe was towed away and chopped up overnight. Only caught wind of my transmission being sold. I won't say what I have, people know me and that'd be dumb over the Internet, but I would suggest to use several measures of security but still don't expect to be safe. Having layers of security may prevent your average thief, so at least go with that. My coupe stood no chance really besides looking beat up. I was in a bad area and I had no garage to keep it in and was 3 floors up and away from it. Someone clearly watched me over and over because they stole it on the one day a week that it actually would sit in one spot for a length of time.

To simplify, both hex and child those are some great projects truly its not some half ass mexiebay project, But both of those cars wouldnt be for me, What di u guys think about my opinion of the stance and wheels, Is that not appealing to you guys?? Is it tacky or somthing?
Keep in mind that looking at our builds or anyone else should only serve as resources for ideas. My build is based on what I want out of this Civic,which is a reliable efficient daily driver.

In regards to your previous comment about "slamming" any car, keep in mind the lower you go the better quality suspension you will need in order to have a comfortable ride. Also, unless you were building a Civic with the intent to race, coilovers arent a necessity. Check out the link below for photos of owners' suspension drops.

And I agree with Child about heavily cambered suspensions. Not only does it ride like crap, but it wears out tires quickly and it just looks ridiculous. I classify that as another "Please look at me!!!" mod.
