looks sweet. I'm jealous.

04 Sedan. Black W/ Willow. Premium, Navigation, Sport Tuned. Brand Spankin New.

 

They're 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the rear - I thought they gave me 22 / 23 offset, but they gave me what I ordered - 20 / 21, which gives me just about 3mm of clearance for both front and rear. Sometimes, wheel manufacturers would change the offset to be "safe." This time, they went w/ my order and didn't mess up......I'm very happy w/ the rims and suspension.

I just need to lower the front half an inch lower for the front. I'm going to adjust the camber tomorrow and start on the tint......didn't have time to do either today.

I just have a few more items coming from Japan. A week ago, I was told the parts were on the container coming to the U.S. Hopefully, I get it in a few wks.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

DAMN, another nice turnout. Man, I've seen the JIC's, HKS, and now the TEINS on the coupe.. every setup is beautiful.. Congrats!

By the way, the rims weigh 24lbs for the front and 23lbs for the rear..........by far one of the lightest 19s on the market. Yeh, it's strange.........the front weighs a little more than the rear....... With tires, they weigh in at 50lbs..........the weight of the stock 18s w/ tires.

 

nice car wil. i remember you telling me that you had your car on order. remember me? the one with the coupe and that spring install?

 

very sweet set-up....how much do those teins go for?

 

Hey Omar........yeh, I remember you. Nice rims on your ride. How's the Eibachs doing?

The Teins cost? .......dunno yet, haven't paid for them yet.......

 

Looks SWEET!!

Awsome selection of wheels and suspension. I love white coupes.


It's still a G thang!!

 

Hey wil. Let us know how it rides. Im stuck with getting the HKS Hypermax LS and the Tein CS with EDFC. I'd go for the HKS but the EDFC is pulling me towards Tein. Nice setup btw.

 

Thanks guys. Whichever suspension system you decide on getting will determine how you want the car to ride. I chose the Tein CS system because it retains the stock rubber mounts instead of utilizing pillowball mounts, like the Flex line, which in turn creates a more quiet and comfortable ride. Personally, I prefer going with Tein over any company because I've had experience with the rest and installed quite a few over the years and have realized that Tein makes one of the best suspension system in the world. But of course, this is my personal preference...................I opt for comfort over track rates.

 

So the Tein CS didnt come with the 4 rubber upper mounts? You had to use the OEM mounts from your stock shocks? If this is the case, I'll probably going with the HKS Hypermax LS. I also had a set of Tein coilovers on my '99 Prelude. I was using the HA's when they first came out. Those are great in the mountains but I can hear the creaks and rattles on those. Apparently the spring rates are more than the FLEX. Since I didnt want to experience this again (especially for the ladies in the car complaining the car's bumpy). im opting for the stock smoothness.
