Man, eddie those things look sweet! how do they handle? Especially the tire... i wanna get larger tires... lemme know who they hold up please. You should replace the door guards or repaint them and then tint it up and she'll look even better. But they'd probably look better on a black civic anywayz.

I got 205/40s on 17s right now.... the ride isn't bad really... i'm gonna drop about 1" in about 2 months as long as something doesn't come up. More than that would be bad cause i drive of some pretty bad roads often.

Hey, for suspension setups I would suggest Neuspeed Sport Sedans Springs. And for tires try to go for something that is close to the stock tire diameter so you don't risk the chance of getting your mileage incorrect. I'll get some pics up tomorrow if you want to see the drop with some 215/45/17 tires.

the lugs that are on them all have to be put on using a key so they are all wheel locks.

have you done the prep work before??? it can be a PITA and is very time consuming. i see a lot of guy that try to do this stuff themselves and end up fuggin it up bad. just make sure you get a good primer and make sure you sand it down after the primer and then sand down the color after you paint before you clear. then sand after clear as well to get rid of orange peel left by the clear. i learned alot from my neighbor and man that shyt isnt easy at all

Tuner lugs often have their own keys, but do not consider them wheel locks.
