Looks good... same boat as you i dont rub at all no pounding of anything needed.. Buyer of my crv if i ever decided to sell is gonna be happy.

Ya with spacers, the rear wheels miss the little metal part. Mine was about half an inch in too far, so I had to do something about it. Now I'm curious about he mileage hit. Performance hasn't been hurt too much I've found out

ap1jnky

Well mine missed regardless of spacers 0 offset ftw. Kiss gas mileage goodbye lol speedo isnt off too much i think theres a calculator online for this. Welcome to the club.

Looks good man. I still kinda want to lift my new one, but I just love flying around corners more lol.

Its about 10 kms (6.2 miles) difference for about 1" taller or smaller. So since you went bigger, you will be going faster then what your speedo says.

noname87

According to the tire calculator page, it's only a couple mph difference with these tires.

Don't know how you dudes don't rub in turns.. Dammit. Maybe someone messed with my front bumper before I got the car. :/

Also, since the difference in tires (for me) is 9%, I just add that to the current speed or multiply my millage by 1.09. Works out pretty close to the actual numbers.

i still have never rubbed ever, and my wheels are wider and higher offset than stock. my speedo was off when i got it and is perfect, verified by gps, with my big tires. worked out well.

anyway, this thing looks awesome.

ended up ordering the .6 inch plates from colorado mountain rally today. the rake was too much for me. hopefully be level in a week or 2. on another note, pretty sure rear engine mount is bad. have a vibration through my brake pedal when it's cold out and makes a dull rattling noise at about 2500 rpm. will fix it this weekend

I would do 1 can per rim....I chaeped out when i did my Tacoma's wheels and **** started peeling way too easy....Give it multiple coats. I had to redue mine. No more peel now

noname87

damn i was thinking maybe 2 wheels per can. that seems like a lot to put on a wheel

kiseliok

1 can per wheels? Are you trying to have more weight in paint than the wheel itself?
I think that's excessive.

Looks sick lifted like that. Back when I started mine BDS had the only lift springs and they had been discontinued so I went the other way.

I was slammed close to 3 inches on springs and even went full air ride on 215/70 on the factory wheels and never rubbed in turns.

I have always heard to spray wheels thick with that stuff like mentioned earlier but you shouldn't use a full can I think is a bit excessive.

my only complaint i have about the lift springs is that they ride ROUGH, like rear end doesn't flex at all going over bumps. otherwise i don't mind it at all

kiseliok

Yep. The ride is definitely rough, especially with bilsteins.
Oh well. At least I know there won't be much sagging with 4 people and snow gear in the winter.

noname87

I really don't have any snow gear minus the typical ice scraper, blanket, and other random small stuff. Have you had to replace any suspension parts from the rough ride?

85_sr_seville

Try lowering the air pressure little bit by little bit, test drive after every adjustment. should soften the ride a little.
Every lifted vehicle I've ever owned or rode in always rides pretty rough because of the rate required to make the springs lift the vehicle.

I know the front upper ball joints are on the way out.
There is some other squeaking one the right side - front and rear.
Rear pass end link snapped (but that might be due to a bigger sway bar).

noname87

Ok. I think I'm gonna buy a couple sand bags and put them in the back to hopefully soften up the ride a bit. Take the plastic try outta the bottom

85_sr_seville

The springs should soften over time but a good pair of shocks engineered for lifted applications will make a world of difference.

Chris

noname87

that's the issue though, nobody makes a set for these

noname87

So I have 3 updates for this thing...

1. Went and filled up for the first time since the lift was out on. Averaging just under 18 with the bigger tires

2. Put 80 pounds of sand in the back under the table and fixed the ride a ton. Might put another 40 in just to see if it gets any better

3. Thanks to sticker bomb for hooking me up with some stickers. Will be ordering more soon!

kiseliok

The ride did soften over time, but when I have 3+ people in the car it is soooo much nicer.

noname87

Ya, the suspension doesn't slam around in the rear with the sandbags. That was my biggest issue with it

Skillachie

I'm liking those two stickers together
