I wouldn't know, i don't anything about being "stanced" i just make use of as much wheel and tire as i can without adding to the car.
Yessir, =) my buddy and I are planning on completely removing the splash shields, and shaving everything and lightly pulling to get an inch lower without relying on camber.

Sorry I missed your post, they are 15x8 +20 offset with 205/50 tires
:angryred: never do that again!





lol jk,

i like 205. I had 205s on a 6.5" wide wheel, they looked bomb to me :thumbup:

Lol ok! I like the height its at right now, I just want to do what child suggested and get them rolled flat and do a light pull, it looks mean in person!

Hahahaha! ^^^ yeah dood I can't wait either, I'm excited for 2mrw, I ordered something just now at a great price and I've got a surprise 2mrw when I update! So stoked!

My used steering column I bought arrived today! Picked up this bad boy for 31.50 shipped with the tilt!


The reason being is to knock it out before my alignment so I only have to get one for the summer, my car was broken into before I owned it and the theives broke he steering locks to get the car away, usually when this happens it makes the column mounting brackets crooked from the force of busting the lock. Hopefully now this will fix where my column garnish plastics do not fit and the crooked appearance.

More pics and updates 2mrw, thanks for following! =)

Well my fitment issue is resolved! I picked up a mint set of kosei k1 15x7 +38 offset from a miata guy on another forum. We traded today and he footed the bill for the mount and balancing, I had to keep my spanking new s-drives lol!!
Also stopped by the graphics store and had custom made new wheel decals to match my color theme on the hatch!

Yeah I realized I didn't want them the minute we put the car on the ground. I didn't worry about it though, cause Carolina Hondas forum has a wheel and tire thread and people there swap like crazy.

Not yet, I still have to swap in my rear toe arms, and rear trailing arm bushings...

But I'm iffy on the energy suspension rear trailing arm bushings.. Some people say they don't allow for full suspension travel and bind the RTA. And the. I read that some people have no problems at all, that hey make the car feel more stable? Does anyone have any suggestion? I'm doing the work 2mrw hopefully after we go pull a z6 head and p28 for my brothers car.

Sweet man!!! I've googled some kanjo civics that rock them and I found these on that forum, and had to switch it up!
Low offset looks great but its just not for me, contact patch FTW!
Dood were gonna look so cool! I would paint mine but they are really mint, just dirty, but I'm cleaning them up tomorrow and putting my new decals on, should look really good with the new purchase I made!
