wow do you need a camber kit, looks good tho, what are you lowered on???

damn that is slamed! looks good

thanks. yea i do need a camber kit right now.. lol. my fronts can go .5 inch lower and the rear 1.5 inches.. so its not quite slammed all the way..yet. :)

im lowered on ground controls

i think once you get a camber kit (soon i hope), you should raise the rear up more. if you dont you might get rubbing issues from your rear fender lip. the exact thing happened to me in hard cornering and eventually took off the paint to bare metal. just a thought.

Please get rid of the mud flaps...

new rims would be nice!

But I do like a little camber on civics...

Although that is a-lot of camber!

Hey, the car looks great!!! Only one thing weird, with the way you hang your plate.

lol thanks guys, im going to get rid of the mudflaps as soon as i purchase the rest of my kit, which should be within the next month or so. i get paid tomarro so i should be buying a camber kit, and i still dont really know what i want to do concerning rims. i found a member of a local forum selling some gold 18's with a 2 inch polished lip. i want to pick tyhose up.


as for my plate, i removed it when i cleaned my car today, i just hang it there cuz cops around here are dicks about the front plate, and i cant find my mounting bracket.

thanks for the compliments guys

how much finger gap is the front and rear?

Blah! 18's not really my cup of tea!

But hey what ever floats you boat...

hey noVICe..when you get your camber kit, snap some shots of the camber correction...i need one pretty badly, and im just wondering how much height you gain from correcting camber because im pretty low and i'd like to raise the height a little bit.

other than camber kit, it looks good!
:tup:

rhcp: the front has about a 1 finger gap and the rear has no gap
02blk: eh im still debating.. lol.
turbocharge: sure ill let you know as soon as it happens.. yes im riding pretty low as well, i still cant seem to 'master' angle driving over speedbumps without scraping.
oj: thanks! btw, is that ancient philippine script in your sig?

damn that is very very low, my car is gonna be like 1 1/2 finger gap

looks really nice

is it me, or are those eyelids a bit to small and off

im on 15 inch Si rims on 195/50 tires and i scrape on some speedbumps but not badly...the thing is im getting a new exhaust and i dont want it to get dented from scraping and stuff...kinda nervous that it will hang too low :flush:

Nice! Negative camber's gotta go though. :_doh:

u got the 01 eyebrows..... they look okay...... i have my license plate the same way since i have a lower grille........ but the drop looks good

looks good

you should only eyeball the camber as a temporary solution until you can get a professional alignment. When lowering a car, the caster is messed up as well. If you don't want to need new tires every 3 months - you'll need a professional alignment.

Also, you'll really need to raise your back end up to not scrape... I'm on 18's with 1.75 more inches of space left to lower on my rear with TEIN SS's (It's lowered approx. 2.75"). I had it much lower, but no car should scrape very often at all... let alone EVERY speedbump. And as you can see from my pics, I have a 1 finger gap in the back (tucking front)... so it's not too high either. I've neever been a fan of the ass-dragging honda style.

ditch the eye lids relocate the front plate and black out the headlights and itll 10000 times hotter.....looks good tho (just not a fan of eyelids)

Looks great man.. But you are dropped as much as you are, you might want to stay away from those 18's, i have 17's one a 2" drop and im tucking good now.. And on hard cornering you can definitly catch the body..

it looks great. i just dont like the taillights

do those eyelids belong on the 04s? or did you get them from the 01-03 civics

yes the eyelids are for the 01-03 but i personally dont think it looks bad at all.. it is a little short but im not at all picky when it comes to something like that, although 04 lids would be nice.. :)

im thinking about picking up 16s or 17 now, but i still want to finish my hfp kit.. lol. so its gunna wait.

*the plate doesnt stay there, its temporary since i dont usually sport a plate.

nice drop. is it me or do you have yellow hi and low headlights and yellow turn signals. just wondering if they are do you get pulled easily. i wanna do that but dont wanna draw attention to my car to much to get pulled. is it ilegal to have yellow headlights.? anyways nice drop. imma drop mine on ground controls soon. but i got a camber kit.

no its not you, i have all nokya hyper yellow bulbs in my headlights.. hence the yellow reflections. i have not gotten pulled over for them, but i have however been pulled over for my tints.. and the cops havent said anything about them (yelow lights). i dont know about the legallity of them though... check your local laws. :)

very unique! I like it

^^^ umm.... stop putting fat ones in then. Might help you with that crummy 1/4 mile time too.
