2 finger gap in the front, 1 in the rear.



Or should I just keep the height as it is?

how about not using that lame inacurate method of measuring, bust out the measuring tape, and equally balance the distance of the fender lip to the center hub of the wheel?

First, you should put your hubcaps back on. Then save your money for rims. THEN worry about wheel gap. It'll look better that way.

yeah put them hubbies back on!

The distance in the front is 13 1/2 inches while the rear is 12 1/2 inches from the fender lip to the center hub of the wheel.

Nah, but don't worry about that. And evidently, I am getting rims... 15s, but I wasn't looking for that type of suggestion. Would it harm your taste buds to say that if I consider 17s, I am getting black rims? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

15" black rota slipstreams!

Black aftermarket rims are cool, black steelies are not. So no, it wouldn't hurt my taste buds one bit. But for that size, I think the heighth looks nice. Noticably not stock, but not rediculous.

That's exactly why I made this thread. I did not currently adjust the coilovers... in fact, that's pretty much how the car looked when it came out of the shop to have the coilovers put on... which is understandable - because if it was any lower in the front, the car wouldn't have made it out the shop.

Just contemplating on lowering the front more and I think I will. The rear is fine, but from now on, I'm gonna need some blocks of wood to raise my car afterwards. I never touched the front because I didn't wanna resort to that but oh well. To say the least, the front is drop low enough for the bumper to be safe from scraping when getting into driveways.

Oh, and thanks Joe for showing me how to "measure." [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

dump it.....my tires are completely tucked....the fronts ones have no gap and the back tires are tucked under an inch......in my opinion a car looks way better lowered...i never drive my car so i never have to worry abour speed bumps...the one time i went over one i scraped the whole way.oh well

It looks good now in my opinion, just all depends on your taste and wether or not u drive it in the winter. Some like it dumped some like it with a 1.5 inch drop. As for the wheels i have 16 black rota slipstreams, lightwieght cheap wheels, some of my friends dont like the black wheels on my black civic ( i would have rather gone with a dark silver color like the o.z. superlaggers) but i like them.

you never drive your car?
why do you even have it then?

I have to deal with speedbumps almost every day. Until I get stiffer struts, I think I'll just lower the front more.

As for rims colors matching my car, imo:

White is too light.
Silver is silver.
Gunmetal, opal, anthracite isn't dark enough.
Black is dark enough. Plus it should compliment dark tinted windows in the future.

I was looking at some 17 inch ADRs but I dunno if they're gonna be light enough. I might not even worry about the weight as long as I have 15s for the track anyways but I plan on having some rims in both sizes that I can agree with.

After that, I'm done with the exterior for a long time. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

ever consider bronze rims? i should send you the pic of my ride with Bronze Racing harts. I love them, only 15lbs per wheel too.

On blue? Nah... no thanks. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I'm not a fan of that color and every time I think of that color for rims, the first thing I think of is the STi. It might be cool on my car if it was black or maybe even white. But blue... nah. After seeing how the car looks with steelies I thought, "Why not just go with a dark look?" The change just grew on me but thanks for your suggestion.
