There may or may not be a reason why I took pictures of my wheel gap and suspension today...

I just now realized that's my reflection, lol. I thought it was a smudge on the paint the whole time I was editing!

Edit: Wait thats what I'm supposed to be looking at right?
 
Tire Size?

Nothing has changed. Yet.

Also, 205/50-15 is my tire size. Scrawny. I think next time I'll bump it up to 225/something. :lol:
 
These are "before" pics and later we shall see some "after" ones with a lower ride-height?
 
Yeah, so I bought a set of PIC Select coilovers. That's what I did.
 
Who's da man? You da man.

I think.
 
For someone that ran in a time attack recently, your tires look absolutely brand new.
 
You're right they don't look worn, but the rears are over halfway gone. I rotated them this year. The asphalt wasn't nearly as hot for the time attack as the solo I did last year.
 
Speaking of which, all you haters (PB) that talk crap about my tires still being pretty:

I'm missing chunks! :lol: Also, I need to get my passenger door fixed some time. It seriously is like a hall of mirrors.

Anyways, the point of this post. I got something kinda cool in the mail. Namely my set of PIC coilovers. My spring rates are approximately 10 kg/mm in the front and 8 kg/mm in the rear (~564 lb/in and 450 lb/in, respectively), which is pretty typical for cars that get driven hard on the street and track both. I think PIC's highest offering is 12 K front and 14 K rear springs, which is basically just a monster autocross setup. At that point a Civic would oversteer almost as much as an MR2.

These things are a work of art. I don't know whether to put them on the car or hang them up on the wall.

I worry about what goes on inside your head sometimes.

Also, your tires still look new compared to my XS. Which I've had like a couple of months.
 
Keef, photoshopping some scruff into your tires doesn't make them used.

And who is the chick with too much lip balm?
 
I don't know, but she came up when I typed in "awesome face".
 
Haven't seen any Keef-not-getting-laid jokes in a while, anyone want to have the honor with that last photo?

Put them on your car you dink. Who cares if they're pretty.
 
We'll get to it, we'll get to it. Maybe tomorrow, actually. Assuming the dreaded Honda rear lower control arm bolts come out without a hassle, it'll hopefully get done tomorrow.

Oh, I thought you took that picture too. I'd hang her on my wall. /Bateman :lol:
 
Man, your Honda is a stunner Keef!

Both you and PB have some cars to be jealous of 👍
 
Those wheels and the lower suspension look pretty good together. 👍

Roll cage? It would look pretty sweet with one I think.
 
4x4 status.
 
That looks great, Keef 👍

Both you and PB have some cars to be jealous of 👍

Well... PB doesn't really have a car to be jealous of any more, to be fair...
 
I'm sure he's not too keen on you raining on his parade either :sly:
 
Thick tires are awesome.
