Friends video of his. Video doesn't record it's true sound. I don't hear my exhaust at idle which is what I like.

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
So I have BLOX EK (97+ civic) Upper Control Arms/Camber Kit.
Everyone kept telling me Crv is like an EK and wanted to correct my camber wear. Well these do not correct your camber they give you more negative camber as they are a lot shorter even when maxed out. I got 1.8 degrees more negative with them on. I was to lazy to remove them and put my oems back, plus my OEM bushing were shot. These do allow you to go even lower (which I did) on your car without the risk of getting arms stuck. I personally never had an issue with the stock grinded upper arm but I wasn't lowered long enough with the OEM grinded arms to know if I would or not. Some people said they were trying adjustable balljoints but haven't confirmed if it works to help camber as of yet.

Re: 98 Crv AWD 5sp small project for now
Today I'm pulling this GSR Dyno 550hp swap out my friends integra which I just purchased. It was built by COMPTECH a few years back as a crate motor and was rarely driven. Should still b under 1,000 miles cuz it's sat most if it's life lol. Plans are to just install the motor for now and hopefully very soon after I prep it all up. Hopefully down the line I add the turbo kit when more funds are available.

I wouldn't waste my time just for the hell of it lol and don't have friends who just let me borrow their shoes lol. I only switch wheels cuz I make a profit out of each set I get $$$. The wheel business is going well.....

Already have a winter and a summer set. 
And these are too skinny for most of the a/t or mud tires that lifted Vs run.
My black rocks are 15x8.
Thanks though.
