h4mza Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Update: Got the new wheels, test fitted in driveway, not happy because the rear arch gap is too big and I want it lower. So got EG springs off a mate very cheap which surprisingly dropped the rear much more than expected. The front remained the same. The ride wasn't good compared to old set up, very bouncy so I was still on the hunt for coilovers. Anyways went ahead and fitted the new wheels. I then got BBS centre caps. I also got a new OMP steering wheel and arm rest fitted. Coilovers next. Also will get new fog lights as mine cracked and colour code the grill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammarbm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looking amazing bro.. Love the look of dare alloys on your car.. And how she sits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes, now you might understand why we go on about getting the correct suspension parts so much... Wheels look nice, not my cup of tea though for an M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks good dude but never mix suspension parts it could lead to dangerous handling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks all. What does it mean to mix suspension? Is it like having an EG suspension on the rear and MB suspension on front or a complete suspension from an other model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes just like that dude as having different sping rates or damper rates from front too back Eg. Civic eg springs on the back mb springs on the front can really make a difference and sometimes the difference can be a disaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oh right, well actually I have all 4 EG springs on mine, not just on the rear. I don't understand why the rear sat more lower than front. I always thought it was the opposite way around due to engine weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Felt like colour coding my grill to see what it would look like as black is overdone and most EK civics I've seen have colour coded grill so going for that look lol. Didn't colour code it actually, just used some £1 silver spray can left overs. My fog lights lenses fell off, that's why I took them off. I also have a set of OEM fog lights but lenses are broken too, is it possible to get replacement lenses from anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was the opposite way around due to engine weight. The back end of an MB is heavier than the back end of an EG. It's likely the springs are designed with the EG's weight in mind, not the MB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
