Mr Brown Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Its catch up time again LOL can not answer question about shocks as i do not know but will be intrested to find the answer when somebody with the know how answers as i shall be needing to get some soon Re the wheels im my humble opinion the new wheels suit really wheel mate maybe later down the line a refurb would be nice on them though So what other than your springs do we have to look forward to seeing or have you also caught (one of) Knights diseases and keeping all upcoming mods under your metaphorical hat...

NIKH25 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 New wheels look I wouldn't go for those springs mate, either go for the coilovers like Craig (fyfie5) has or Larkspeed still have a clearance offer on the Koni strt kit for Civic M's.

I couldn't believe how much of a difference it make! I'm well happy with the wheels, it even puts a smile on the Civic Yeah I should've refurbish the wheels first but there are too many spokes! Its catch up time again LOL can not answer question about shocks as i do not know but will be intrested to find the answer when somebody with the know how answers as i shall be needing to get some soon Re the wheels im my humble opinion the new wheels suit really wheel mate maybe later down the line a refurb would be nice on them though So what other than your springs do we have to look forward to seeing or have you also caught (one of) Knights diseases and keeping all upcoming mods under your metaphorical hat... Thanks Mr.B! They will be refurbed but not by me haha. I know someone who might do them for me cheap as chips Yeah I think I have caught that 'must do mods' disease again... but I'm on a really tight budget right now. I am itching to wrap the dash trims and brighten-up the calipers with a bit of colour... so they should be next but I want to give my car more lows more than anything! nice videos!! but what was the time?? for 0-60?? and the wheels have completely changed the look of your car nice work Cheers! I haven't timed what she does 0-60 but it is surprisingly quick! I sometimes think something been played with in the engine somewhere... surely it wouldn't take that much longer to save up for coilovers, the ones on my car come up on ebay every so often for £160! but depends how badly you want lows. Oh the time will come (I said that last year) but I have seen those coilovers before, they got blue springs? I might go for them when car insurance is sorted out New wheels look I wouldn't go for those springs mate, either go for the coilovers like Craig (fyfie5) has or Larkspeed still have a clearance offer on the Koni strt kit for Civic M's. Ooo that sounds interesting.. but I have to sort out the insurance first as I also said to Craig. I only want to go low as anywhere between 30 - 40mm. Cheers...

KiNK43 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 G max springs dude. They last really well. very Cheap. And actually drive very well.I used mine for years, now knights got em.Dont go too cheap like those crappy eBay sleeves. I think that would be regrettable!!

KiNK43 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Oh and just my opinion, I think coilovers are overkill for a daily..From experience, make them soft and comfy and car bounces about. Set them up so the car responds how you want and you break your back everytime you drive over a wet leaf. I'm talking dear coilovers. Tein, gaz, d2 all the same.Surely cheap coilovers are awful???I reckon some sensible lowering springs would suffice and not break the bank.
