I'm sorry for not asking sooner, but what front lip is that?
I'll definitely add it to my list of possibilities. I want a lip that keeps the same contour as the stock EM2 bumper and that one appears to do just that!

It's a type-r lip They're not a unique choice, but I like it for the same reason you do, and it was cheap.

Nice! I'm looking into "fitting" a Honda Fit lip (pardon the obvious pun), which would be fairly unique for an EM2 in my opinion Your lip looks very nice, it's tempting!

Here's another pic from this week's Ertefa:


I promise I'll get a good camera eventually :P

In the pic are my new tires 205/40/zr17's instead of 225/45/r17's...makes the car lower and rubs a whole lot less.

Also kinda in the pic are the new pw jdm rotors.

And just to mention, I also finished converting the car to power windows!

Lol I've had them since april...It was actually his car that inspired me to get the slips, but I opted for the 17s instead of the 16s

dont worry about kenny. he drank his hateraid today...


werent you running some rediculously wide tires (if i remember correctly?)

like 225? what were they again?

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

hahah kenny, you know youre eating out of that same bowl now

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

in these pictures, you look like you have a different size tires than the ones you originally posted.

Kennykid2002

Basically.
But it still wont give me slips

Oh, I know..It's not the first time he's hated on my wheels more than once. I know as with any car forum there's always gonna be haters...luckily unless you are a complete and utter failure at life, most people here are just jokesters lol.

But you are correct, when I bought the wheels I wanted them on the car asap so I bought some tires for cheap from a friend. They were 225/45/17 in the front, and 215/45/17 in the back. They rubbed ALLLL up in dis bitch, and the rears went bald real quick thanks to the rear camber. I ended up finding a better deal on some almost new 205/40/17s, and that's what you see on the car now.

I'm the one with 225's, make fun of me instead

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

I was considering the 215/45/17

You didn't have much clearance with them?

Aetoc

iTrader: (1)

The 215's were fine in the rear with a little camber, but the 225's in the front ate my fender liners (I no longer have any) and they rub on the inside when I turn the steering wheel lock to lock, and they hit the tab that attaches the front bumper to the fender when I hut moderate bumps...the 205/40s do none of those things lol.

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

Though, I forgot to ask, how much are you dropped?

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

215/45/17 is one of the best sizes you can run. especially because you have a 17x7.5 rim. i run 17x7 on 215/40/17 and i can completely tuck. im planning to run 215/45/17 next.


and with kenny, he just hates slips... but slips are pretty awesome to me. i like em.

Aetoc

iTrader: (1)

I'm sitting 23-3/4" from fender to ground...I believe the drop is about 3"

I wanted a lower profile tire and it just happened that a buddy needed to unload these so I picked them up cheap. If I had the money, I would have gone with 215/40's, but I really like the look of the tires I have on now

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

i think 215/40 would suit you best and also still look real low pro. i have them on my car and they look a little too low profile to me.

here are 215/40/17 on a 17x7

Aetoc

iTrader: (1)

Yea they look fine, but my problem is that they seem hard to find here in ontario for a price I can afford, and almost impossible to find used....the tires I have now were $250 and are almost brand new, as the previous owner hit a pothole and cracked a rim, so the tires were useless to him. Once these get worn out, I'll start looking for some 215's, but until then, I'm saving for some proper coils, cause after cruising with the car club I'm in, I realize the suspension is really holding me back.

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

Lol $250 is cheap....Mine Are about $600 installed

Aetoc

iTrader: (1)

^That's exacly why I bought used falkens lol....I'm in college so full price tires that I want are way out of the budget....it also helps that my club has a mechanic member who will mount them for $20

sl33pyriceboi

iTrader: (3)

^makes both of us.

i bought my first pair of falken azenis rt-615k used for $150 for all four tires (80% thread left)...

then i got use to how sticky and great they are...i had to shell out full price when i bought my second set...

and soon, i will have to replace them again...

these damn tires only last like 10-15k
