Re: **skipunk4's mr dc4 2010 refresh - Spoon / Enkei / Innovative / ASC Metal Fab**
Thanks man! The wheels are 16x7 +32. I'm trying to decide between 215/40s and 215/45s. Have always been unhappy with the tire size I've decided on in the past so I'm hopin I find one I like this time around
Wrd, bro in law was tellin me the same thing. Might be getting some Spoon coils to put it down on
Thanks for the words man. Do you mind tellin me whats so bad about poly RTA's, just cuz I honestly don't know. I got them cuz they were very affordable and said they would be a good upgrade compared to stock.

Poly RTA's are bad because they dont allow for side to side twisting of that pivot. This is very important for compliance to changing lateral loads on the trailing arm during cornering. Lack of that compliance can cause unpredictable handling and snap oversteer at the limit. Its not something i think is a huge deal for you right now, but just be careful and mindful of that.

I think you should DEF go with a 45. Your car has a purposeful theme and look to it and i think tires that are too thin would mess that up...

Thanks man, tryin to get this thing done!
Pretty much this. Plus it deforms and doesn't return to its original shape like rubber, and also deteriorates much faster than rubber bushings.

Got some work done in the garage the last couple days
Spent some time getting the brakes installed
Started with the fronts
Front pads on
And then came the caliper
Here's a shot of the driver side all done
Then it was time for the rears
Bracket and pads on
Caliper on and done
Here' one with the wheel to show the clearance
Real happy with how they came out, just need some suspension and tires and it'll be mobile

Looks fantasic bro, coming together nicely I bought the PIC rta's to replace mine, just waiting for them to come in the mail. Once they're on I'll let you know how they feel.

This car is going to be in every single tuner magazine and featured on every Honda tuner website, I just know it! Glad I'm able to see the progress of this build!

Thanks man!
Lol
I honestly don't know the brand. I got it when Circuit City was going out of business it didn't come with a bag or box
Thanks for the words man
Ya man let me know
Lol I dunno about all that. Would be nice but who knows. Preciate the words man
Coming!!
Sorry I've been kinda MIA this last week or so, I haven't had much time to really even touch the car or post an update. Been too busy with work and getting ready for Christmas, I STILL don't even have all my presents yet
Luckily I have a couple days off, so I'm hoping to get a good way on the harness and getting the engine all prepped for going in
Got all the original electrical tape off the wire harness and man that thing was gooey
Also eliminated a couple plugs on the harness that won't be getting used and thinned the harness out a little bit
Picked up some new front mud flaps in good condition from a local buddy for cheap
Old vs new
This time no slamming the car, should be a little more comfy anyways
And lastly I got a nice delivery the other day, finally made a decision on tires and ordered em up. Got here in 3 days! Gotta love Tire Rack
Ended up going with a Bridgestone Potenza RE760 in a 205/45/16
Was originally looking to do the RE11's but these were a good amount less with good reviews and will probly be a little better for the daily use and wet WA weather
Tires meet rims, rims meet tires
Got myself a couple Christmas presents that should be here this week so check back soon
