Yes 518, you owed me a picture. . It has been a while, but nice work!

How are you liking them so far?

Also are you gonna leave it like that or planning to rake the front? Unless that is the lowest it can go?

blouis: do you rub you're front fender alot? Mines about 15 threads from the bottom, and im on 215.45.17 and ive srubbed a couple of times already in corners. Anything i can do to clear more room? Im also gonna roll my fenders or get them cut so i can tuck just a wee bit more

Cornering is drastically better. Im impressed! For pics go here http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=169840

I love them, I have no complaints and no regrets at all. I replied on the other with reviews on it, in case you havent read it yet.

how has all the B+G people been? I remember a couple of months ago when everyone was getting B+Gs installed and it was the hot topic on the suspension forum and that they were going to update on how it is and put up some pictures. .. what happened? Anyways, I'm still on the verge of getting B+Gs and I want to know what everyone went through and if they loved them or just regret them.

Camber kits aren't necessary for the installation. It depends on how low you want to go. If you're going to get one, at least get the rear. Fronts are super cheap, but I hear you can make your own.
