    FS: 17" rims

    Coilovers SOLD. Thanks. 4 17" rims. 215/45/17 tires with average thread life. 2 of them have a bubble. So needs changing. No center caps. $200 I think they are these rims. I can't find the offset on the wheels. If you know how to measure it, let me know. The previous owner said he had them on...

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    Thanks. I need to take better pics. Initial review. Wow. I should have done this a long time ago. Love the stiffness. Handling is better. Body roll is eliminated. Smooth on highway. The only thing is, there is some slight rattle on small bumps at low speed. At higher speeds over the same or...

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    So the inches in the back did not translate pre-install. The difference was 5 inches but the drop was 3 inches. I guess the stock springs are too soft. Final short. Perfectly level. 3 inch drop.

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    So I lost 3 inches on the front. I'm scared. Someone hold my hand. Lol. I took a test drive with just the fronts installed and it felt great. Now for the rear.

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    Thanks dude. Yeah, I realize every car and situation will be a little different. I'm using stock steelies at the moment. Waiting for the current tires to wear. I already bought some 17x7 rims. I think the offset is around 40. Will need to get new 215/45/17 tires. Not in a hurry until my current...

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    At work. Can't post pics and I'm going to the shop to get it done later today hopefully. Basically it's set at 3 inches between the spring lock and the red base lock. I'll probably take the stock strut put and then compare it to the height of the coilovers and try to make adjustments then.

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    Gotcha. I guess I will put the coilovers on and then drive about a week or 2 before alignment and see how I feel about the camber.

    How inches on coilovers translate to drop height

    Hi guys, So I read somewhere in this forum that the max length between the red bottom part and the spring lock is 4 to 4.5 inches? Is that right? So the drop would be a default 2 to 2.5 inches. My question is, if I have about 3 inches between the red base and spring, would that translate into...

    compact powered subs

    I just got my polk db651 today and it sounds amazing compared to the stock speakers. The only issue is the tweeter is pushing against the stock speaker grill because I used the spacer provided. Maybe should have gone with the db651s but I heard the bass response is not as good. I think it'll be...

    compact powered subs

    Hey man, Thanks for your tip. My budget for the sub is probably less than $200 including amp (for now). Maybe I'll hold off the sub. I went to bestbuy today to listen to some subs. I guess they have the kickers, polks, and stuff. I think I saw an alpine. I didn't quite enjoy them actually. It...

    compact powered subs

    Hey peeps, So I wanna upgrade my speakers and I'm thinking of going with the Alpine sps-610 or polk db651. I'm thinking coaxial cos it's cheap, I can install them myself and I won't need an amp (yet). The only think is I don't know if I will have the upgrade bug. I'm currently on stock...

    Bax's 1999 5mt CG5

    TheBax's New 1999 Sedan 5-speed Forgive me if I'm wrong. I was told by a mechanic who is a friend that the handbrake method is better since it is safer and also reduces the risk on burning your clutch. Fwiw, I too drive a black 5spd sedan lx. 02 though. Congrats OP!

    Better gas mileage

    I just wanted to share my experience. 1. I used to drive a 5spd Integra ls. It was stock and got about 27mpg. 2. First step was to get a mileage computer. I consistently got 30mpg. 3. Then I cleaned the air filter, increase tire psi to 40, spark plus and cables. Got about 32-33. 4. Then...
