Photo Shoot...my before and after...

[kalvinsaid]

****UPDATE #2.5****
HEY AGAIN! i realized i never uploaded the photoshoot that i was suppose to do for update 2. I've done a couple more shoots and here they are. You'll notice my window visors come on and off and that's because since they come off so easily i tend to only use them during rainy days and store them during sunny days. Anyways i hope you enjoy. (in case you're wondering, i did lower my car a little bit more since update 2)

alright guys. this was my first photo shoot. my friend finally got his "Work VS-XX" on and so he asked if i wanted to join his random photo shoot. since i wanted pictures of my car before i lower it on megans, i decided to do it. please don't bash about our amateur photo takes. it was just for fun...anyways since my megans are in backorder ill revive this thread in probably 2-3 weeks with my car lowered even more. as of right now they're on stechs. what it do?

oh and one more thing. most you guys probably noticed the "krew" sticker on my rear door. that was a bullet hole. HAHAHA..and no, not a fake bullet hole...a real bullet hole.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!

[Shadow19]

Nice 8G man. I tell you though. Ive never in my life seen an accord look so clean. Im not a honda fan but i would roll in that car any day.

[stvn_mj]

Looks clean!O yea that Honda was ok as well.

[showtime]

damn man, that accord is sick!!! Nice G!!!

[4g63lover]

looks clean. Love the EVO 9 wheels.

[wright06jhs]

Great looking cars. The G will look better once its lower for sure, i like real low G's.
That accord is beautiful, your buddy did a great job with it.

[blue8g]

i love your G but i honestly would trade ALMOST any G for that accord any day

[kalvinsaid]

ahha thanks. his car is pretty damn clean.

[DFX]

car looks good. and i had to laugh at the bullet hole. you could've at least put a mitsu logo over it!

my dad has a bullet hole through the front bumper of his truck (bought it that way).

[Rayth]

Nice 8G man. I tell you though. Ive never in my life seen an accord look so clean. Im not a honda fan but i would roll in that car any day.

x2

[kalvinsaid]

haha yeah..my friends are a little crazy. they consider that accord to be too high. he actually wants to go lower if he could.

[Galante]

G looks nice! It will definitely looks better when drop more! Nice shoot!

Btw what's your suspension setup right now?

[Mike_Rom]

Nice pics man! Looking good. Will be sick after you get those megans

[kalvinsaid]

[greddy]

car looks great, I'll sell you my megan coilovers as soon as my teins get here for half the price that they are new :)

[kalvinsaid]

WOW seriously?! dude i ordered mines 6 days ago...omg... AHHH....oh well...

[kalvinsaid]

[greddy]

ahhhh, evo 9 wheels, I remember those days lol, car looks good, what size tire are you running?

[kalvinsaid]

ahhhh, evo 9 wheels, I remember those days lol, car looks good, what size tire are you running?

215/45...greddy do you remember about 8 months ago when i asked about the evo9 lug nuts? HAHAHAH...time passes man...

[stvn_mj]

Looks super clean. How many inches did you drop it?

[00galantguy]

damn thats sexy as hell man

[greddy]

215/45...greddy do you remember about 8 months ago when i asked about the evo9 lug nuts? HAHAHAH...time passes man...

oooh, that's a bit narrow for an 8 inch wide wheel, you should go with at least 225s, and better yet 235s if you can afford to :)

[galant305]

LOOKS CLEAN.nice drop

[kalvinsaid]

Looks super clean. How many inches did you drop it?
i honestly don't know. but on my 17x8s with 215/45 im tucking tread.


oooh, that's a bit narrow for an 8 inch wide wheel, you should go with at least 225s, and better yet 235s if you can afford to :)

nah...if i go bigger then i'd be rubbing. next set of tires imma strech a bit with 205s...

[sponcar]

[blue8g]

i got my stuff mounted!!!!! it looks great, thanks bro!

[krow]

Nice 8G man. I tell you though. Ive never in my life seen an accord look so clean. Im not a honda fan but i would roll in that car any day.

Agree with the 8G lookin good...that Accord made me do a double take!

[kalvinsaid]

Agree with the 8G lookin good...that Accord made me do a double take!

definitely...too bad he had to take his rims off. he ate through his rears soo fast...anyways he's gonna slap them back on as soon as he gets money for a new set of tires.

[4g63lover]

holy crap that is LOW. hope the CV boots arent screaming....

It lookss fucking BA though. I want some EVO 9 wheels too!

[Reelax]

looks much better lowered like that. good job! go fix that hole now.

[kalvinsaid]

looks much better lowered like that. good job! go fix that hole now.

awww crap....hahaha. i just got some touch up paint and ran through it. you wouldn't know it's there unless i told you. very ninja-like. and thank you.

[kalvinsaid]

[E_Emerson88]

[kalvinsaid]

looks beautiful bro. i wish i had coilovers lol

hahaha. either you wait for used ones or buy them new. i got mines for 905 shipped. PM me if you want that sorta hooked up deal. AHHA

[Stewi]

i honestly don't know. but on my 17x8s with 215/45 im tucking tread.



nah...if i go bigger then i'd be rubbing. next set of tires imma strech a bit with 205s...

With coilovers you wont rub on 225's if you leave some negative camber in it. I have D2's with 235's 18X8 +35 offset and I dont rub up front with -2 degrees camber, the rear would have rubbed but I cut/folded the inner lip in the back. But 225's on a +38 offset wheel you wont rub on coilovers.

[kalvinsaid]

i already maxed out the camber plates and i dont have camber kits. AHHA

[Reelax]

you shouldn't rub w/ 225... i'm not rubbing and i'm sitting as low, if not lower than u on TEIN SS-P, 19x8.5 +48 235/35r19 AND camber corrected all the way around. i did however have to cut out the rear fenders to clear.

[kalvinsaid]

the rears cleared after i rolled my rear fenders. but i dont know about the fronts. even though you're saying it wont rub, it still does.

[Reelax]

does it rub on the outside or inside... or is it only rubbing at full lock?

[9G]

nice

[kalvinsaid]

it only rubs when i turn my wheel completely. i rub inside.

[9G]

welcome to the club. i rub at 3/4 turn

[kalvinsaid]

welcome to the club. i rub at 3/4 turn

haha. thanks for welcoming me!

[Reelax]

weird. you could try adding positive camber back in the front via the front upper mounts' camber plates... my wheels and tires are wider and i have a higher offset (meaning even less clearance to suspension) and i don't rub on the inside so the only thing i can think of is that by running full negative camber like you are, you are limiting the inside clearance allowing the tires or wheels to touch the well liner behind the wheels on steering lock... you should have ample room from the tires to the actual fender since you are running such narrow tires.

[kalvinsaid]

Updated again

[kalvinsaid]

Updated foreals this time.

[E_Emerson88]

looks good bro, how often do you scrape?

[kalvinsaid]

looks good bro, how often do you scrape?

too often, but i dont regret it. i dont drive like an asshole nor do i speed. my G is automatic so driving it isnt hard, you just have to be patient. I usually map out where im going. there are some plazas and parking infrastructures that have been blacklisted because the driveways and speedbumps are too much for my car.

[E_Emerson88]

haha, i wanna go a bit lower also but i barely clear speed bumps and dont clear the parking blocks anymore either.

[kalvinsaid]

hahaha. GO LOWER!

[Predat-R]

nice drop, it looks really good

[Da_silvagride]

I may just dump mine too. I wanted this look for a min. I been to scared to do it since I would have to get another alignment. I have alot of positive camber in the front. My rear sits like your rear. How is the tire wear in the front?

[WhiteGalant]

Hmm My megans are as low as I can get them. I have a small amount of preload on the springs and the collars are adjusted up as far as they can go and I still have a 2 finger gap :(

thank god i didn't go with megans. i was going to buy megans but they were on back order.

i know it's hard to tell from my photos but im actually tucking about half of my tire in the rears and im tucking the treads in the front. then again i can't really tell from your sig how much your rears are sitting. anyways my tire wear is normal. none of them are wearing unevenly.

Enkei EVO IX

[G-spot]

yep it looks like mine

[Reelax]

http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/kalvinsaid/4669411063_e68b1e33b5_b.jpg

since you are on coilovers now, you can fine tune ride height and even out the stance by raising the rear slightly and lowering the front a little if you need to. look at the wheel gaps front and rear. it looks perfect when they are as close to the same as possible. this makes the car nose down slightly since the front wheel wells are bigger (so the front needs to be lower to be filled the same). also you will correct some of the negative rear camber if you raise the rear a little.

here is a profile pic of my car for reference. look at the gaps front to rear and how the car silghtly noses down (meaner looking).

[Predat-R]

agreed did this to my beamer ............very aggressive stance. Reelax love the wheels looking good

[ShiZnitH]

I adjusted mine like Reelaxes coils aswell :)
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x281/Thomas-S/Galanten/img_4954.jpg

[Reelax]

see it looks good w/ the gaps even. when i was on regular lowering springs, my rear always appeared lower because of my audio system and i always hated that. when i upgraded to coilovers, it took the techs about 1/2 an hour to set the ride height where the gaps were as even as possible so they could align it at that setting. later when i adjusted it after the kit was put on (i raised it when the kit was first put on then lowered again since my front gap was HUGE in my eyes), it took about 1 hour (without a lift, just 1 jack) to do it, then i got it aligned again just to be sure it was all good.

[ShiZnitH]

Got sound sytem in the back again so its a bit lower now. But i got a leak in my left front coilover so this winter im gonna overhaul em :)

[4g63lover]

I got mine set-up the same as Reelax describes.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a103/4g63lover/baby%20g/_MG_7367.jpg

Gives the car a more aggressive stance with a "rake".
