Default Not quite hella flush....

But I try.

Got my 1/4" spacers on today. Need new lugnuts now. Excuse the dirty car, primer fender and shitty paint. Its a work in progress.






I do have a question, my eBay coilovers are all the way down in the rear, I mean I have no spinning perch thing. My front still have like 2 inches to go, are the front spring and the rear springs the same height?? I have never though of that until I put my wheels on today, and didnt check the spring coil number. Anyone have any input??.

I just hear a lot of people say when you go low on them they tend to crack real easy being well Ebay

I would have went paint and body work first but hey rims are still something, I just hate the way multicolored cars look, I used to have one : /

I have had the rims for a while. I just put them on today with my new spacers. Trying to get the fender well filled up a bit.

I dont have the aluminum perches on the rear, so I am curious as to wonder why I still have a bit to go on the fronts.

Yeah, I can see I am obviously not doing this to EVERYONE's likings, sorry. I need studs first, then maybe ma larger spacer. Its my first attempt at spacing, and my wheels dont have much of a sexy offset.

But hell, for me trying,

get that baby into paint. The wheels can wait. Are you going to keep it the same color? Try something new?

hahaha, thanks man. I am just working with what I got.


As for the color, I am kinda on the fence. I wanna keep the same color to make things easier to paint, but I also wanna go kinda old school. Flat black, widened steelies, and white walls. I am sticking with DPFI to be different.

You can lower the rear more if you get civic wagon struts.
The sping perches sit a few inches lower on the wagon.

Looks good man. Keep it up.

As for the ebay coilover deal, I have been riding on a set for five years now. Still going strong with zero problems.
