^ only everyone with a b swap. Why not get a traction bar to replace it? Innovative is the best for these chassis due to the way they maintain factory suspension triangulation.

Wedge engineering.

I went with a planted bracket myself. Made in Bellevue,WA USA and slots for several different rails. Check out the PCI versions also. They look pretty slick.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm loving it more and more, lol.

Boosted, coops right, wedge, and after what I went through, I should have gone planted, and yes, the PCI one is pretty freaking clever, but pricey.

15x8 rpf1's are awesome, et28 I think though, not ideal on our cars, but you could make it work - personally I was thinking of milling 5mm off the backpad, you'll get et33.

I found a EVO Recaro passenger bucket for a good deal and put that in. Took some work to make the sliders fit as they are an OEM seat. Basically cut some tabs off the bottom of the seat to allow it to sit flush. With the seat all the way back I am now quite a bit lower and my legs can lock straight out. I am 6'1", so not much different than you. I may have to get a steering wheel hub that extends out.

I believe they come in a +35 as well.

May not be your first choice, but I cut away the factory mounting locations and welded the seat straight to the floor using a very slim custom bracket. I sit really low which is awesome. Of course you can't slide the seat. The seat is still adjustable, however you have to unbolt it and move it to the desired location, and there are only like 4 different positions according to how many holes the side brackets have.

Not yet at least. The 15x7's yes, an the pf01.

The 15x8's were requested mainly for the Miata crowd, so they based the offset on their optimal for that size.

From you to enkei's ears - I'd rather had the 35 so there'd be no need to shave the backpad

Here they are on a crx. Pretty aggressive. I don't know what size tire he is running though cuz they seem really beefy. I had a +20 wheel with 225 tire and it was close to that stance. Then again maybe he is running spacers.

Wow, I really like that, but I'm torn as it looks like it may be too aggressive for a daily. Well you figure the 15x8 enkei is only 8mm off of your 20et, so it prolly wouldnt be far off of that.

I'd prolly still shave the backpad to bring it in a bit more, that with a roll, should be fine for me at least.

What's your opinions on the half bumpers, I see it more and more, but wondering it its actually any more effective than when people were drilling speed holes in the bumpers?

Those have to be 16" RPF1's, because they are definitely not the spoke design of the 15x7 RPF1.

So it's a 16" tire.

Probably 225/50 if I had to guess.


edit: nevermind, I never realized they made the RPF1 wider than 7" in the 15" diameter.

They are probably 205/50/15's because the 225/45/15 R888 is not that stretched on a 15x8.

What stretch? If anything I see balooning. My guess is at least a 225.

Rszero I hope you're not thinking about cutting your bumper. Just like any other ghey fad everyone is doing it now. Along with cut fenders. Is it effective? Sure. Will it make you shave off seconds? No. Unless you're completely devoted to adding extreme aero to your car I think it's useless. I guess I just get annoyed when I see so many different people doing the same thing cuz they think it looks cool. In the end it's up to you what you want to do I guess. I'm a simple guy that's why the exterior of my car is stock. /rant

I have burned through multiple sets of 225/45/15 R888's on a set of 15x8 6ULRs, and I assure you, if those wheels are 15x8, those are the 205's.

I don't think you could even fit a 225 on the rear of a CRX without major pulling or cutting.
