Re: Operation: TooLow Build Thread

There are a few cars that have had air ride on them.

One Member passed away, the others haven't been on often.

6thGenJed and Johnson are the two that come to mind that are 'current' Members with air ride. You can always send them a pm and see.

Lip kit choices, Mugen, WW, Xenon or get create with the BaysonR v2.0 offerings.

At one point there were full WW/Xenon kits on here for sale, but the last one was sold not too long ago.

You can check on ebay and see what you find, or craigslist, where you may have better luck.

I am looking for a front lip as well, and finding used WW/Xenon lip kits in good condition can be a bit hard.

Re: Operation: TooLow Build Thread

There is info on lip/body kits everywhere, try searching harder and you'll have plenty to read/see. There is also the lip kit review thread. And there is info over on V6P.

To run 11.5” wheels on this car you are going to have to sacrifice performance because you will have to run a lot of camber or have crazy stretch, or both, etc. Point being, hellaflush is not conducive to performance. Thus I’d either pick stance or performance, or go with less aggressive wheel specs and meet more in the middle. Otherwise you will have a lot invested in a turbo setup that you won't be able to put to good use.

Re: Operation: TooLow Build Thread

To keep performance and stance in mind I wouldn't do wider than 9-9.5 on this car.

Car must be a manual trans for turbo by the way.

His car is a 5spd.

OK I'll keep searching some more. As far as performance and stance I'll be sure to keep that in mind. This project is going to be a lot of trial and error. I'm going to see if I can keep both but if not then Ima lean towards stance. I'm on a mission for toolow and too wide. Love me some wide tires (dad is a muscle car head so like father like son). I've never seen somebody try this wide before on any Honda so I'm going for it!

As stated it is a manual Lol I've never had an automatic and I'm keeping that in mind. First thing is I'm doing your regular I/H/E I got a whole kit I pieced together coming in soon. Since I can't find an exhaust shop around here who will put a test pipe on looks like I'm putting my own exhaust on this time.

Re: Operation: TooLow Build Thread

I think my buddy Vince here in Akron still has his WW kit off his sedan for sale. I'll see if I can get him to jump back on here.
