whats "right"? unless you participate in competition events, even local auto-xing, theres no real need for a full setup of race spec coilovers. the s2k is the first car i got full coilovers and thats cuz i got a good deal for them from doood at weksos and i wanted it to lower it a lot more than what the available springs do.

if you want height adjustability as the main reason, in my opinion, just get ground control coilovers and set of konis or something.

i had some fat fives back in the day... not nearly that clean though

R_Squared · 10-24-07, 08:23 PM

I'm a bigger fan of the meshies...but those aren't bad. :o

Just Janna · 10-24-07, 08:40 PM

Would'nt the rims be the socks and the tires the shoes?

Chefboiali · 10-24-07, 08:45 PM

There's a guy I know selling a set of blades for $300. 95% tread left. What's stopping me is that he has the balancing weights on the outside of the rim.

Scratches ftl. Still worth it? They're like a 7/10. Are there clean ones out there?

Just rebalance and have them place the weights on the inside of the wheel?

hella dope installer too

supapoopa · 10-25-07, 02:27 AM

Damn, that brings back memories from when i first put fat fives on my stock civic. Slap a lip on the front bumper to finish it off after the drop.

I miss it.

I'd recommend you throw a kill switch somewhere. Its going to be a target once you start modifying it. Way to easy to steal.
