Form>function!!!
Did you end up doing anything with your exhaust? I have the same problem, my hangs lower since its made for an ex.. just wondering what you did/plan too for it.

no i havent done anything to it yet. my buddy found out he put the middle pipping on backwards so i think if we flip that around it might match up with the hanger part and sit higher. but if not then i'm going to take it to an exhaust shop and then can raise it up for me. that's the only thing i know to do

pretty sad though to see you go from real wheels to reps =/ should be doing the opposite

Today i took the wheels and tires to Elite Audio to let them do their thing. They cut, shaved, rolled, and everything in between. Couldnt be happier with the outcome. Keep in mind, this car is made for having 14"wheels and 42 offset. I put 15x9 with 0 offset. In the end the fronts camber is maxed out. The back can still be cambered in more. I'm running 7 degrees of camber.
Yes i know. Its not stretched alot but who cares. it looks amazing.
Before any fender pulling or paper rolling.
The front camber is maxed out. Before any fender work
One side down.
Griffin's STI in the background that was featured on Stancenation.com
All done.
Got home and saw this. Like a champ

Yeah, 15x8 is the max these cars can handle...its just missing a lot of exterior pieces to pull it off
and you guys probably hate every car on stance nation lol
the wheels are freakin nice, but the stance makes it look like you broke your upper control arms.....
body needs to be cleaned up.... other than that the stance is sick

thanks man. yeah i can go lower. i would have to adjust the camber on it though. we didnt really roll the back fenders that much. but i could go lower. just gotta fix the damn exhaust first haha
i'm sorry u feel that way.
thats why i got 15x9. nobody has 15x9 on a civic around here. and my car is pulling it off.
thanks man. and the stance is very nice. pictures dont do judge. if you saw it in person you'd like it. its crazy. 15x9 on a civic. 0 offset. 7 degrees of camber. whats not to love.
thanks man. i know the body looks bad. im gonna paint the lip and grill to match the car and get a new hood that isnt all jacked up and get some si taillights.
dont lower the rear more, it already has reverse rake. the front needs to come down more, thats what matters lol
guess im going to have to attempt at one upping you and go 15x8 front and 15x10 rear

as of right now i cant lower anything anymore. that exhaust is going through hell where it is. you need 2 come to s.c. and ill show you some REAL cars hadont lower the rear more, it already has reverse rake. the front needs to come down more, thats what matters lol
guess im going to have to attempt at one upping you and go 15x8 front and 15x10 rear
if you get 15x10 in the rear then screw the contest u win haha. 15x9 was a pain getting to fit. 15x10 would be hell.
real cars? come to pa, ill show you some real cars too
haha well ive seen 10's done, so if i do for sure build a set, thats what i will be aiming for. just needs more stretch to fit lol but the contest is about low, not wide. now we are both at a good width, we just need to get the lowest

there are a few on stancenation and stanceworks also.
but i just checked and g rat is running a much much higher offset. 36 i think it was with 10mm spacers front and 8mm spacers rear. so thats a big difference than trying to run 0
i know someone who is running that amount of camber, but also runing 15x10 with a -23 offset lol
