Finally pics of my drop
Well finally after dropping my CRX last week, i finally got around to taking some pics of my ride.
Details:
I ordered up some Koni/GC's with 450f/400r spring rates from Weaksauce and got 4 tophats from a friend. Man, it was a good thing I was impatient, I ended up doing a preassembly on my suspension, and was missing a 12MM locknut for one of my shocks, called Koni, got a replacement that same week.
Once installed, i set it so I have no gap up front and about 1/2 finger gap in the rear, they are set to 1/2 turn from full stiff in the rear, and 1/2 from full soft in the front. Man, the car feels so much better, with the fronts set to 1 full turn from full soft, the car is very responsive in the turns.
I am running on 15x7 Rota RB's w 195/50/15 Kuhmo Ecsta's. No real rubbing in front, in the rear, slight rub on very hard corners, nothing rolling the fenders won't fix. No poke. Quite a few people said I would have problems with this offset, but it's all good so far.
And here are the pics...
first an artistic shot...









and going on later...

Thanks for looking.

Yup right here, when i first got my RB's. I just wanted to get them on so i could take pics for Lost is Black to post in the forums, i got them at his shop in SD.
Edit: And thanks for all the kind words guys, I'm happy with it. Not nearly done though.

Lol, I just figured out why I look all puffed up, I was taking that shot kinda looking down into my windo to get the shot, lol.
Yeah, the wheels are a hit or miss with some people, but i have always loved Panasports, and had a set of ultralights on a 1980 celica i had that was track prepped. I just didn't want to spend for another set for daily use. Maybe when i do some track time.

Thanks again for all the positive response so far. Like i mentioned, not everyone will like the wheels, but i love them. i have some superfins I'll throw on later for pics.
But i have to say, the suspension is so far the best new addition I have made. I'd be interested in hearing some people's setting's as a comparison.
