ourbloodykisses · 08-19-2010, 11:54 PM

really wanting to get into some rota torque style rims.....

sample;

or something, 16x9s +20

ourbloodykisses · 08-23-2010, 04:59 PM

I guess this is an update. Saturday I got two tires put on. and alignment.

they didnt want me taking the two tires off in there lot. so I went a parking lot over. took the rims to them, had them swapped out, took an hour so I had to chill by my car and wait lol. I lugged the floor jack into the car. oh yeah and I fixed my beaks brackets the other day.

ourbloodykisses · 08-29-2010, 06:07 PM

right now I'm running 6 inch springs. Im ordering some this week that are 3.5 inches. I'll be even more dumped soon. still figuring out which spring rates I want to run. I'll be ordered front camber plates as well. along with trying to make some custom extended top hats since they do not make them for 7thgen or dc5s. then im going to need inverted tie rod ends cuz mine are really close to the body. then notching the frame for axles. I love suspension lol

ourbloodykisses · 09-13-2010, 07:46 PM

Mr.2jz-GE · 09-14-2010, 12:27 AM

ourbloodykisses · 09-14-2010, 10:05 PM

ambitiousCK · 09-14-2010, 10:12 PM

in for pics....+1 for rota torques....or Works CR-KAI =P

cookiemonster17 · 09-14-2010, 10:22 PM

dumb question, but when you got it aligned, did you do it to factory specs or custom specs?

ourbloodykisses · 09-14-2010, 10:25 PM

I told them not to worry about the camber since I'm still playing with it. I have camber bolts up front which do minimal. I'm going to be ordering a camber plate which hopefully will be enough to run my wheels with minimal camber. I'm going lower so I might need plates and two more camber bolts. we'll see how she sits in a few weeks.

camoBD5 · 09-14-2010, 10:54 PM

love the purple lugs

daewoo · 09-15-2010, 12:46 AM

wheels + lose the lip = spot on

ourbloodykisses · 09-16-2010, 07:32 PM

^ most likely once the car is lowered more it will be on the ground. so I'll prolly be getting a HFP lip;

after the drop it should be lower than this, it will be lol...;

my fender to ground is 22.125" and that dude^ is 20.0"... I'm going 2.5 inches lower than I am now, I'll be at aprox 19.875, about that. not counting sag. ****s gettin real critical lol.

anyways haha here is some ****ty pics of the seats in now.

DC2-Chris · 09-17-2010, 10:53 PM

do you havta work on the strut tower to go lower? ur not running camber arms just bolts? id love too see this car and pics of the suspension setup

Picc.Dc4 · 09-17-2010, 11:10 PM

Man your EM is clean! Loving your stance. You need a nice color rim to offset the color of the car and the purple nutz.

Im on McPherson strut suspension, not the double wish bone like all the other hondas/acuras. just 1 camber bolt in the fronts, the rears work differently. there is a upper control arm for that.

as for some suspension pics...

stock rear

to

huge ass energy suspension bushing

cutting the stock sized spring perch

to get about 2 inches more of adjustablity.

thats pretty much it besides the rear camber kit.

DC2-Chris · 09-18-2010, 08:45 PM

so what about your front upper arms do they hit the top of the strut tower?

sleeperSL2 · 09-18-2010, 08:59 PM

Love the build. Car looks good. keep it up!

ourbloodykisses · 09-18-2010, 09:01 PM

I dont have upper strut arms, I just have a tie rod there, and its pretty damn close to the body, hence im going to need to buy t1r inverted tie rod ends. doing my research on that currently, heard good and bad stories. debating.
