View Full Version : New drop & wheels
New here, finally feel comfortable posting pics of my new car. I've had it for maybe 5 months now... just installed some drop springs, and wheels. I love the way it looks personally, just curious if y'all like it.

Clean is very clean I think the B Red is top three colors. The only thing I dont like are the wheels, looks like Civic wheels. but that's IMHO. Keep up the good work!!

Meaty set up. Not bad [up]
The front needs to go lower to lose the reverse rake.
What are the wheel/tire specs?

Looks good man. If you plan on doing headlamps, do OEM Bi-Xenon's with the Kufatec harness. Don't use any crappy after-market ones. My brother had a red B7, one of my favorite colors

Specs?
Thanks guys! It's on Tein springs, the wheels are ESR's 18x8.5 et 35 and the tires are off my old wheels 245/30r18. Going to shorten the tires soon, it rubs both front and rears.

Pretty sure 235/40/18 will give you the look you're going for. I have that tire size on an 18x8 and want to get 18x8.5 wheels to give it that look.

Did you have to use spacers to clear the brake caliper? Or is the fitment good?

what springs did you use? I am looking for a drop but looking to get rid of the reverse rake look...

H & R Sport set will give you a nice rake, firm ride with great handing, old pic but here is what I am riding with. VMR V718 19" on a 45ET. Michelin 245/35/19, 5mm front spacer. No rub, no harm no foul. DD of 100 miles round trip.

I'm not looking for rake which means the front is way higher than the back, for example the OP

Did you see my car? Does it look like the ass end is lower than the front? The H & R Sport springs lowered my ride 1.5" in front and 1.4" in the back, it sits perfect.

that would be reverse rake.
