Default My ef build. Lots of pictures.

Hey guys. This is my 89 civic sedan. Nothing really done to it right now, but i have plans for it soon.

When i first got it:


Then put ebay sleeves/springs on, minus the sleeves:


Tried out some 17's, and it looked like crap:


Got these:






Newer photos:




Then, i got rear ended. Not bad, but ruined my trunk:


Now, for the new:
These will be on this week. Getting 165/45/15 tires. 15x9, 0 offset all the way around. And also getting raceland coils:




This is my previous car. 1999 vw jetta 2.0, with corvette wheels:











Got my front tires mounted today.





[/QUOTE]














I cant wait to put my coilovers on!!!![/QUOTE]





[/QUOTE]

So, i ended up playing around with my coilovers a bit more today, and came up with this result:







And im gonna tell you how i did it. First off, the raceland springs are entirely too tall. So i took my ebay coilover sleeve springs, and put them on the raceland struts.

It rides like poop, but im honestly just going for looks here.

Im getting my 9"s mounted right now. Bought 195/50/15 tires. I wanted 195/45/15, but everywhere is out about a week. So i got them. Itll be nice to have spare tires anyways.


Ill post more pics later.

I personally like it, even though I'm not a fan of the stance scene.

I used to have a 90 EF sedan as a winter beater. I LOVED it!!!

Do you have any other plans for it? Paint...engine? Or are you just a wheel *****? lol...
I didn't realy care for the stance w/ the other wheels on either, but, gotta say looked much better than with those slips on. Anything over 15's on ef doesn't look right, plus they are slipstreams....

Will definately be coming back to see other progress
