Needs a Drop

 

[atzook]

Would love to drop it, thinking about Tokico, unless someone else knows of a better brand?

Also, this picture is about 3 weeks old, ill update the pic soon with the new red calipers

 

[jordan00711]

Id recommend a set of entry level coilovers. Tein Basics/Skunk2/ Etc... All depends on your budget.

if u want a set that will last, preforms well, and u want coils then i'd go with buddyclubs. or get koni yellow struts and some springs

Looks good man i like it. Will look real good with a drop.

 

[MistahJuice]

Looking good, get some more pics up there man!

Just giving everyone a little update on the car

Calipers look pretty good IMO

thanks! I have a serious question tho, on the highway experiencing speeds of 70-75mph and with ANY wind whatsoever, i experience my civic "wandering" from left to right. Anyone experienced this with their R18? I figure its 1 of 2 things...

1) with my last alignment, toe was increased too high
2) the handling needs a SERIOUS upgrade. I'm thinking anti-sway bars, and power tie bars

Any suggestions?

Doesn't look too bad...not sure if I like the rims though. Maybe w/ a drop I'd like them more.

The handling is going to be worse anytime you go w/ a taller rim and no suspension work. Basically it comes down to what you can afford. Can you afford a strut or sway bar? A subframe brace? Suspension? I've never owned 7th gen and up, so I'm not sure how pricing is on these products.

Before engine work I'd definitely upgrade any suspension part first.

I've never liked 8th gens, but you sure made me respect them. I love those motegis. I want a set now.

 

[atzook]

definitely upgrading suspension.

eibach front/rear sway bar --$270
megan H brace -----------------$85
megan front/rear tie bars -----$65/ea
