I've driven Phil's SC and other Turbo's... they're nice but I don't want the personal up keep. Regardless of the returns.

Proper prior planning. If you don't plan and save ahead of time it can be a PIA. On my Civic Coupe I built everything out of the car and really spared no expense. the engine could have handled twice the HP I was putting down and I did not skimp on anything so it was (still is actually) very reliable. Kanes car is a pretty good example the way it sits now.

Nice moving pic Munchy. You and I both need spacers.

I gotta say Bunique... that car does look hot! Why did you sell it?

Make me an offer, fronts are Eibach, rears are wheel adapter.com. Both are hubcentric but the hubcentric ring center on the wheeladapter.com ones are removable (like the hellaflush brand spacers). I personally like the ring not removable for ease of removal but honestly this is not something that you will take on and off, once they are on that is it. They are 25MM, what offset are your wheels?

I'd have to take a wheel off to find out the exact off set. I think it is +38 but I could be wrong. I was thinking more 15mm spacers just to be safe but I guess I'll know better once I get a wheel off.

Also, I have no idea really what spacers go for so let me look it up a little and I'll get back to you. Are they used? If so how many miles have been put on them?

If they are +38 then 25MM may be a bit too aggressive, that would put you at +13 offset But if you wanna make a statement then............. I bought the Eibachs used of Volcom8 (sic) and the other pair is about 6 months old maybe, I'd have to see when I got them but not much older than that so I'd say about 10,000 miles tops. But the studs are grade 8. I'll PM you some pics.

Cool, I'll get a wheel off this Saturday and figure out what the offset actually is.

I am deciding whether I like the VR with clear corners or with the stock amber ones. I have a set of clears from my old Tigray, but after that got totalled they are just sitting around. The car looks sweet with either, bu I am not sure which one I like better.
