    Default A few mediocre pictures of my new wheels.

    Finally picked up a new set of wheels after rolling around on meshies for the last six years. Was lucky enough to find this set brand new on ebay yesterday and it turned out the guy was in Canton so I was able to pick them up that same evening. Really happy that I had the opportunity to get some zero mile stuff. I'd honestly still be running the meshies but needed these for the brake clearance.





    And one of my overpriced joystick...

    Those look pretty good, even better if your ride was lower.

    Thanks guys. I am going down about another 1/2" in the front. I'd bring it down considerably more but I seem to bottom out on the core support pretty easily now at this height.

    There is some carnage on the driver side of the front bumper right now so a new bumper, front lip, and OEM fog set are waiting to go on pending a trip to the body shop.

    Yep, 57cs. I would have liked to run SSR type Cs but have no problems running these. They were my second choice. I have the casual tires on these and will be running 6uls with 225s up front for the party tires.

    Thanks.

    It is a Fastline FLP shifter. Retains the stock throw and has a considerable amount of added mass. The knob is my favorite OEM knob, an optional spun aluminum knob for the base model RSX. Incredibly cheap too for it's quality.

    Great investment. It was $88 or $89 shipped and is a black perforated suede mat by Dash Topper. It isn't really needed as I always use my sun visor when parked but I like to use it incase it helps prevent my dash from cracking.

    I would really like to go a touch lower in the front but it will really end up where ever is optimal for performance. I'm getting ready to swap out my illuminas for custom valved Bilstein Sports(ITR spec) and some custom GC rates. If I need to raise it up To get it driving right I will.
