    Hating? Why does everyone jump on people for posting their opinion? If you can't take a negative opinion then don't post your car up in the car pics section on a public forum. Sorry but everyone is not going to nut ride your car just because you did X Y Z mod.

    Styling is subjective. One mans clean JDM Civic is another mans ricemobile. If you like it then you like it. I can choose to block out and ignore the negative responses or you could also go the opposite way and get into an e-debate over styling.

    What? I don't even see a sway in the photo. My guess is this little piece of metal is supposed to control lateral movement between the two lower control arm mounts? That ones that are seem welded and part of the lower subframe?

    I don't ever see those mounts 'cracking'. Those are pretty beefy.

    Well that's the "purpose" of the support, but most people use it as a fashion statement.

    And yes, they are prone to cracking (when aggressively driven), but you don't dont have to take my word for it.

    Justin.....hit me up and we will do some pics one day! we need a good shoot of the two si's together! with some rolling shots too!

    thanks for all the comments everyone!

    Man..so many haters in this damn thread.
    Cars look really nice but I feel compelled to add my two cents about your haters.

    What's funny is that a specific someone in this thread, giving the OP and friends shit about their asthetic choices, was rocking Rotas before he got one set of so called JDM wheels. While you're calling people out, you didn't bother to call yourself out with that fake ass Mugen front lip you had on your hatch, huh? Fucking hypocrite.

    At least these guys use their cars for what they were intended for: to be driven.
    I'm so sick of all these hardparking, pansy ass motherfuckers who, with their elitist attitudes, are truly ruining the scene, not the guys who do it for the love and not for some internet fame and nutswingers.

    wow bro couldnt have said it better myself

    to me wheels are wheels thats it. they all look the same and most of the time perform the same. id rather bend or scratch a $110 wheel as opposed to a $600 wheel unless your a baller
