Wow... and that I did not expect. It's looking like the car will be cleaner then any off-the-line vehicle Honda sent out, which is always a good thing.

I don't like it, what a waste of time, money and energy. You could have concentrated on trying to get your 10" wide CCWs to fit with your 185 tires.



Looks good man! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Thanks dude, clean is definitely the goal, plus the cadmium plating will long outlast the Zinc coating that Honda uses now. The fact that I dont drive the car in the winter anymore means that hardware will stay mint for years to come

Impressive Question, I just put my 17x9+35 enkei's on my front and cambers and aligned at -2. After looking at the car from a distance I noticed that the front passenger tire sticks out more than the drivers. Like it angled less or something. ? Do our cars have less room on one side or something?

Nope, it means something is bent or misaligned. Could be a number of things. Are your camber adjusters set pretty evenly? Or is one further in than the other? That's a quick tell that there is an issue with either the shock, knuckle, arm, or subframe. If they look similar maybe one of your body work is a bit off.

-2 Camber in front

Dont know what the problem is...Where would I go to see what the problem is? Same place I got it aligned at?

Also the space between the strut and tire is really close on side thats tucked (driver side) I can fit 3 pieces of paper max, the side that the tire is not tucked the tire is about 3mm-4mm from strut.

Hm, well I would make sure the alignment is correct first. Where did you go to get it aligned? It seems like the driver side is correct and the pass side is funky.

id have them redo the alignment, my em2 was like that, and yes it drove great! but it looked like that! Probably a miss read during the test or some sort of problem accured while getting it aligne.. my front was +2 on the left not negative!

Problem solved...when using 2 bolts, tighten them the same on both sides getting it realigned going -1.8 on both sides cause -2 was waayyyy to close to the strut, 1mm away no joke, other side was more like 4-5 mm so enough room for the tire to flex, especially star specs
