My new slips.......

[Vtecademics]

I just got some Rota Slipstreams earlier this week wrapped in 205/45ZR16 Kumho Ecsta Supras. Tell me what you all think....besides the fender gap.

 

[Rand0m]

not too shabby...i like those rims alot...it will look cherry once its lowered

welcome to the site

 

[Vtecademics]

and..

 

[Vtecademics]

In yalls opinion, how much drop should i get?

 

[Rick James]

not really feeling the black but maybe it wil look better when lowered
fix ur handles and skirts too

 

[Rand0m]

get coilovers, and stop when there is no gap left above the tire

 

[EluSive2K]

one and a half to 2, or maybe 2 and a half. Depends, just make sure you get the camber kit so your tires dont get eaten by the asphalt.

 

[Vtecademics]

I was actually thinkin springs. Arent coilovers a less comfy ride?

ok well then paint ur moldings handles and skirts
and do i see altezzas on it? if i do lose those and lose um fast

 

[Vtecademics]

Ive been planning on doing that. It keeps getting put off.

 

[munky]

do about a 1.5" drop anywhere from 1.5"-2"

 

[civic-tuner]

I would say about 1.5 to maybe 2 inch drop. look into tein s-techs or something with about the same drop. I like the black side moldings and side skirts the go well with the black slips!!

Definitly not a fan of flat black rims like that... can't see what the wheels are from a distance, which I hate. Slipstreams are the s**t tho... just not in flat black Mine are going to be bronze.

I'm not sure why, but there is something not right about the car...I mean, I like the rims, and I like red, but I'm just not feelin' it. I dunno what it is......Maybe the 4dr doesn't work with the smaller rims? I ono...just ignore me...

 

[Mr. Lin]

So THOSE are the Slips I keep hearing about. Jeez, I've seen 'em everywhere but never knew what they were called. Plus, I've been too lazy to do any type of search ... eh, no matter.

yeah true dat dood i had the skunk 2 coils and it was bumpy as s**t even with the camber it still sucked, coils are good if you replace the stock shocks with an adjustable ride. and i didnt want to get rid of my stock shocks at the moment to i went with springs, i bought those goldlines from tornactive.com put it in and got about 2 inch on all sides and ride is great.

^^agreed. I have intrax lowering springs and my brother has dropzone coil overs... mine rides so much nicer. This might be because as far as coil overs are concerened, his are crap, but from what I've seen most springs ride better.

Thanks. I actually have been looking at the s-techs, the drop sounds right.
