B16 w/ Coupe 19s

I haven't seen a carribean blue sedan with the coupe 19s before. I'm on D-Specs w/ Z springs, changing out to coupe springs in the rear to even out the gap. I'm satisfied with the drop so don't tell me I need to go lower. I was slammed on coilovers on my Accord, so I'm being more conservative now. The Nismo kit and projector retrofit are definitely in my plans to finish it off the exterior. Not the best camera so these will do until I borrow my friend's camera. Enjoy!










Coupe midpipe and Hotchkis sways

Nice pics. Is it normal with the Z springs for the back to sit lower
I have a sport package sedan and I was thinking about getting the Z springs.

No it's not. But then again it's not actually lower in the rear. front/rear wheel arches are diff. Look at the side sills. Pretty parallel to the ground.

There is plenty of space between the rim and caliper. It would be nice to fill that with a BBK. It's not within my price range, I'm going to settle for the Stoptech Stage 2 kit. Unfortunately, the rear z spring is lower than the front. That's why I'm switching to the rear coupe springs.

I guess I'm going to have to get some coupe rear spring if I want an even ride

Looking good.

I got the coupe rear spring/z front combo. There's still a bigger gap in the front, but it definitely helps even it out a bit. I'm also running a full 17" size spare in the trunk, so I assume the weight brings the rear down a bit.

the front tires are smaller than the rear & the front fenders are higher than the rear, hence the bigger gap.

Looks very clean and the nismo kit will help a lot. If it were my car I would also consider painting the roof black. Either way, nice work.

This was my inspiration. Whose ride does this belong to?


I said I wouldn't get the clear corners but I see the light now. It just goes well with the wheels, chrome window trims and door handles.
