Hey guys wanted to know what size offset you would recommend for upgrading my 2007 Civic Si. I think I am going with Bronze Slipstreams. Please let me know. I want to use the stock tires as well. Thanks!

Well stock is 45mm , so keep it close to that. You can upgrade to 17x7.5 or 17x8
(not sure whats offered in the "slipstream")

Also... hopefully your stock tires are "summer" optionals, oem equipment is absolutely Horrendous you can pick up a "package deal" from wheeldude.com with rubber as opposed to paying a shop to unmount and remount that oem trash

 

Thanks so much. Just bought my 07 today. Had a 99 Si that was a 300whp car and am getting back in the "scene" and need to know where to go. Been awhile!! Help is much apperciated. THANKS!

 

Also, what is a good price and performance coilover suspension for the 07 Si? Any help greatly apperciated! Thanks.

Megan Racing
Tein Flex
Tein SS
Tein Basic
Progress = coming soon
AMR

 

does anyone know if 18x8.5 would be an issue on a fg2 thats dropped pretty low?

yes i believe 8.5s would rub

 

Does anyone have more information on the Tein Coilovers or know where I can get some prices, pics, etc? Supension is going to be my first mod, so I need to get things rolling. Thank you!

Great. Thanks so much. Is the Super Street Kit a good one to run? What are some reviews?

Id advise against the megan.....if you want details PM me before you buy.

 

I would advise against Megan too (too many blown dampers + bad damper curves = not the best choice), wait until something better comes out IE: Koni Sports to pair with Ground Control COs.

 

what is out there isn't the greatest. i would wait it out until some reliable comes out. otherwise get the hfp suspension. probably doesn't give you the drop you want though.

 

Is the Tein not a good idea? If so why not? I thought they were pretty reputable and made good products. I know several guys running the S-techs and they seem happy. Also I see that the basic kit is available on passwordjdm.com for an 06+ coupe. Will this suspension work for the Si? Also any reviews on the basic kit? Thanks!
