Those rims are ****ing ugly!!! J/K looks good man. Any rubs? The off-set is good for your car right?

 

No not stock suspension, it rubs but so did my stock fat fives. The only problem is when I perform lane changes at fast speeds it rolls too much or at high speeds it's harder to keep the car going straight, any suggestiosn. I was told the ITR swaybar helps with the excesive roll, but any way to tighten up the steering. Has any one here taken out there powere steering?

 

How many coils did you cut? Unless, of course, you're using coilovers...^_^

And you need about 45mm Offset in order to get it all the way down without it rubbing (front and back) unless you try to pull a uwie...

Before Pic

That was before...hehehe...Enkei Zoku's 17x7 45mm...no rubs, no rolling of fenders...

Sounds like you're heavily cambered and that's why your car has trouble keeping straight...raise it up a little (or bump the fenders) and camber-kit it back to about negative one to two degrees and you should be good...

 

I have Neuspeed sport springs and Tokico blue struts, the rims have 42 mm offset. Not like when the alignment is bad, but only when going fast it doesn't like to hold still, think it has to do with the fact that I have 40 serires tires. Since I got the new rims and tires it's been alot easier to steer at lower speeds also.

 

Those Tokico blues are a fairly softly tuned damper, so I'd be sure to give them plenty of travel. I'd limit your lowering to 2 inches even - otherwise you'll be thwacking off of your bumpstops on potholes and whatnot.
If I were in your place, I'd have bought the Illuminas or even the KYB AGX. h:

Secondly, you absolutely must get a proper alignment done if you want your tires to last more than a few thousand miles. And it sounds to me like the wheels will need balancing as well. You mentioned problems with high speed stability... were the wheels and tires balanced when they were mounted?
If the wheel is vibrating at high speed, it's likely an imbalance in the wheel. Do not ignore the problem as it can lead to many other serious issues.

An aftermarket anti-roll bar will certainly help reduce body roll and tighten lateral body control...which may be enough to end your rubbing issues in corners. If it persists, there is the time-honored tradition of "rolling the fenders" with a baseball bat. But that's another story.

 

The wheels show no problems of vibration, such as being unbalanced. I recently got an alignment, and the tech told me that I need aftermarket spindles so the axles would be straight. The only reason my axle was looked at was because I needed the front lower control arm replaced, it was bent, and the axle was broken. Is it possible the angle that the axle is sitting at, it is being put under to much stress? The high speed stability problem seems as the front end of the car gets realy light and the steering is much more sensitive.

 

If the spindle is bent relative to the control arms, get the goddamn thing replaced before the hub fails. :eek4:

Was the car hit, or did it smack violently into a curb? Regardless, there's damage that needs to be repaired properly....and pronto!

 

i like your rims, those dark gold blades look pretty cool.

 

No problem with the spidle, at least thats what the Acura tech said. Yahh hit really hard into a sewer grating, front caster was off, it was pushed back, front driver side rim bent and tire blew out. I think it screwed somthing up on the rear driver side too, the Acura tech didn't see anything wrong with the rear driver side, but the driver side rear of the car sits lower than the passenger side, I think I have to bring it to a body shop for them to see if unibody is bent somewhere.

 

not a big fan of the rims, but the color looks good with the car
