Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
Sorry to push the thread off-topic, but man that's a dick-move.
You have me mistaken for someone else.
To keep the thread on-topic, I'll post up an older setup.
Wheels: SSR Schumachers
Specs (i.e. size, width, offsets): 16x8 +37 15mm spacer on front wheels to clear brake calipers
Tire specs: 225/50/16 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec
Suspension setup: HKS Hypermax RS w/ Swift Springs
Camber specs: (-3) front (-1) rear
Additional comments about your setup: The ride is definitely track-derived, so it's far from a stock comfort level. The front fender liners have been 75% removed, leaving the rear lower portions for road debris damage control. The front fenders are slightly rolled, but experienced little to no rubbing, even on hard turning/braking. They rear quarter panels are rolled and also shaved, but tire rubbing still happens on harder impacts.

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
toyomatt what brake calipers do you have and did you use a studded spacer or extended studs?
Thinking of buying a wilwood front bbk and wondering how these studded spacers are working for you guys

Front Brake rotors: Re-drilled TSX rotors (4x100)
I used a studded spacer (actually it was a bolt pattern adapter plate, but the effect was the same since the wheels were multi-pattern). I wouldn't recommend them for track use, but daily commuting they should do fine.

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
Wheels: Kosie K1 TS
Specs (i.e. size, width, offsets): 15x7", +38 offset
Tire specs: 205/50-15 Bridgestone Potenza Re-11's
Suspension setup: Eibach Sportline Springs and pro Dampers
Camber specs: -.75* in the front, -1.5* in the rear
Additional comments about your setup: Had to roll the fenders a decent amount in the rear. The fronts rolled themselves on the tires lol. Rubs the fenderliners pretty good. big holes in mine and also rubs at full lock as well. the ride is SUPERB though and the handling is great for DD'ing. i'm gonna be switchin to 375/350 GC's in a few months though.

Last ditch effort to keep this thread going. (I don't have anymore setups to go from, really. )
Wheels: Work Ewing RS-Betas (one piece, not three-piece)
Specs (i.e. size, width, offsets): 16x8 +35 (no spacers needed for these)
Tire specs: 245/45/16 Hankook Ventus RS-2
Suspension setup: HKS Hypermax RS w/ Swift Springs
Camber specs: (-3.6) front (-1.8) rear
Additional comments about your setup: The tire rubbing is more profound in the rear then before... but I had the car corner balanced for this setup, and it's slightly raised in the rear compared to before. I don't think the Ventus' provide nearly as much grip as the Star Specs did, sadly. Even worn, the Star Specs seemed to have better grip on the same suspension setup (tried the used Star Specs on the current suspension settings after corner balancing, as well).

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
good golly those are some huge meats. Is that the same tire diameter as stock? Why not run 245/40-16 so as to not rub as much?

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
I'm serious. Honda has really ****ed up the last 8-9 years.
Damn justin that looked so good on the 16 inch enkei's. Perfect, not slammed but just right. How come you dont get rid of the skunk2 coils and get some GC's.

Tire specs: 195/50/15 bridgestone re01r's

Additional comments about your setup: fronts hd another inch to go down, rears were all the way down. real stiff for daily driving, but i thouroughly enjoyed it. avoided pretty much every hole etc. that i could. fenders slightly rolled from previous wheel setup. no rubbing either cars, handling was also very well.
same set-up on my old wagon, just different wheels/tires. rota circuit 8, dunlop dz101 195/50/15.

Sadly, I do not. But, this picture sort of demonstrates what I've done (not my car).

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
Thanks bud. It was fun hanging out with the RSX chaps that day, even though I was a lone-EM2 in a field of RSX's. I've got 2 starters to test now, to hopefully fix the starting issues I had that day.
Yes sir. They weren't connected to the brake shields for the photos, as I didn't have a chance to run piping yet.

Re: SHARE YOUR STANCE - The guide to achieving that ideal setup...
Good info in this thread. I'll post up my old RSX setup cause people always asked about it. Got a new setup on a different car coming soon I'll post that up when its done.

Tire specs: 215/40/17 Federal SS595
Suspension setup: Function and Form Type II's
Camber specs: Around -3.5 Front and Rear
Additional comments about your setup: Rear fenders are rolled and pulled and front fender just hammered tab for the fender liner and cut a small section out but was still running them.

For a car 15+ years old, those are really small problems to have. And, to be fair, the only way someone could tell that the bay was rattle-canned is if they were a professional painter or you told them before-hand. Be proud of the car, bud. It's definitely worth being proud of.
