What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[Nexus713]

sides too, this is the HFP kit for the sedan, you can get it installed at your local dealership if you want.

Thanks! I was checking HFP kit there and it’s expensive ? I mean i get guarantee that it will fit my model, color etc and quality should be decent as well, i might think about it to be honest because it looks way cleaner than ebay/amazon not painted lips/skirts ?

it is indeed more expensive, but like you said the fitment and paint finish is 100%, and for quality, it's the same materials as your stock current body sides and bumpers for example...it's all parts produced directly at honda's factory (somewhere, don't know which one...)

the front ones for your car is different than his tho because it's a 2020 it has a different front bumper......it's this piece which has a 2 tone paint job and looks sick imo:

The front and rear are 306$ and the side skirts are 667$ so the kit is 1279$

Got my DC Sports USB installed, and what a difference that alone makes to cancel out the body roll!

If you think the front strut bar made a difference in reducing body roll, wait til you install the rear sway bar.

Seriously though, the strut bar definitely helps with stability up front and steering feel but doesn't touch body roll. You'll see a huge difference in body roll reduction with that beefy RSB installed.

Body roll issue is mostly due to poor factory suspension setup...the stock suspension is so plush and soft, and high perched that as soon as you start pushing the car you feel like you're gonna tip over and the tires are screeching...a good set of tires and a "lower by about an inch and around 30 to 40% stiffer suspension springs" does wonders...

Strut bars are cool but the tires and suspension is where you gain the most in terms of confidence in the handling and sporty driving characteristics or your vehicle.

The rear of the car feel very light when entering corners at high rate of speed, and i notice a fair bit of over steer too...which is unsettling to say the least in a front wheel drive car with no handbrake...if you overcook it and the rear detach, you're gone...so i think a rear bar might help out...i might check for one in the future...

Yansag...

FWD vehicles tend to understeer from the factory. Not sure how you are inducing unsettling oversteer. And if you are already feeling oversteer like you mentioned, a bigger rear bar would actually make it even worse.

Got a full set of 3DMaxpider Kagu Floor Mats installed today. Forgot to take a picture earlier. Has shoe prints already...

My BC-BR coils are already ordered. I'll be dropping it to delete the wheel gap, which should lower my CG enough to really bite the corners.

I won't be installing a rear strut bar unless I see a problem after the coilovers are installed. Those are a little invasive, and I'm sort of out of room behind the seat.

Oh, I am definitely expecting even more out of the RSB, and an exponential improvement once the coils are in. I really just meant that the front bar helped plant the front of the car a bit better on the cloverleafs. It felt really good at 40mph vs feeling like I need to let up at 30mph before.

Not much. Ordered a trunk tray and gloss black mirror caps. Been working away from home all week. Been shacked up in a hotel. Thought this was pretty sick.

Had these old wheel caps sitting around and was about to throw them out because they didn't fit my rims.. then I thought to myself, what if it will fit that black cap for my tow hitch.. let me know what you think lol .. dumb or cool , I'm listening!

Genius. Looks good!
