Default Update: First Honda (like anyone cares...)

I am sure some of you remember this horribly stanced EK.




After some trading and some money spent. Here is how she sits now. I do need to have the rear camber adjusted a few degrees. But I think it is looking better, despite the cheap wheels.

The car has been raised a couple of inches all the way around and the I adjusted the S2 pro camber kits in the front. The rear has a little more postive camber but nothing like it was before. Here is a rear shot of before.

Looks a lot better than before, but still needs to go lower in the back IMO.. a Spoon style duckbill would really set off the car too, or even a CTR styled one. In addition to some OEM headlights (CTR, or just regular).

You have no idea as to how bad i want a CTR spoiler. A spolier, lip, fogs, cf hood (OEM), and I would say that the exterior would be finished. I really want to get some rear disc breaks next.

After the ride height was adjusted, never had the camber or tow adjusted. An alignment should solve the issue. But I may wait and buy the S2 rear camber kit.

if you fixed the rear camber it would definitely look better, but as it sits right now i think the car looked much better before IMO.. now it just looks like your rear suspension is messed up, whereas before it was clear you were going for the stanced look (which i am still a big fan of)

It looks cool, yes. But it has no functional purpose, especially on a FWD. I have my Xb for my "I want to look cool" grocery getter. The Civic will be used for Auto Cross. Once the suspension is completed anyway.

I am glad you're the authority on what looks good. All I can say as it looks like a new car with a warranty that was awarded top 10 safest car under 20k.

Is this what 2012 holds? people making threads where they fix their broken suspension hella-flush wheel setups? A fender roll and a flush wheel setup looks good but that was out of hand, and i understand why you fixed it. looks better once you get an alignment

I am hoping it will. May have some Recaros for it in a few days.
