I've solved my suspension problems!!!!!!
I have Hayame V2 and hated the ride. It was rough, and it sucked. I hadn't ridden in any other civics that were lowered, so I could compare the ride. Well, to make a long story short, I had 205-40-17 tires, and today I bought some Yokohama Parada spec 2, 205-45-17 tires and let me tell you, the RIDE IS AWESOME! I still have the somewhat low profile look, but the ride is awesome, and all along I thought it was my suspension, no friggin way!
Anyways, 205-40-17 tires should be outlawed, there rubberbands for christ sake! If you want a good look, and a great ride, go with some high quality tires, 205-45-17's!!!
BTW,
no rubbing issues either. God, it's like having a whole new car!

Rep Power: 0 Ill get pics soon, the 215-45-17's were too much sidewall in my opinion. The 205-45-17's are as close to stock overall dimensions 185-65-15's, and yes Tamazoid, I have used the tire calculator before.....
