Wow this is all great info. Thank you so much for the responses! :)
I didn't know you could order Volks straight from Japan. I really like the CE28's but the TE37s seem to be what all the kids are raving about these days lol
Having owned my FK8 for about a year, I can weigh in a bit here. I love the look of the OEM wheels. They definitely go with the rest of the design of the car between the black finish and the red pin striping. So, cosmetically, they're perfect. However, on the road, with those 30 series...
I'm just curious, for those who have owned both. What did you like about one vs. the other and why did you choose to change? Was it worth the change? etc. Just curious as I know they are two of the more popular wheels for our cars why people would go one vs. the other.
Congrats on the purchase And welcome! I Gto my FK8 back in Feb and have loved every day with it. I ended up swapping my stock contis for all-seasons because i didn’t have the cash right away for forged wheels, but if you have titans you could easily do a summer/winter tire setup. Hope you’re...
Bought a PRL HVI from him for my Civic Type R. He was great to talk to, kept in close communication and got me everything in a timely manner. Great seller. :)
Thanks @Ramone23456
i agree with Kenny. A small drop like an inch probably isn’t a big deal but 2” might be more apt to require camber adjustments.
I don’t know much about the D2 stuff but I know Eibach has been a trusted name for a long time and most of the guys in the TypeR forum like swift springs, although I’m...
Hey TJ. It's super cool of you to help out your son with stuff like this. My advice would be to talk to the shop who would do the alignment before you lower the car to see what they recommend. If you can, try to find a shop that focuses on performance upgrades or a specialty wheel/tire shop...
That's too funny......I traded my car in at my local Carmax in Manchester, NH to get my Type R. I did a VIN search as @9000RPM did and was able to trace it to being sold out of the Raleigh/Durham area. So funny both our cars ended up in NC after :)
First off, I have ZERO regrets buying my Type R back in February. It's everything I've wanted in a car and leaves me with nothing but satisfaction every time I start it up and drive! Sometimes, I find myself wondering how my 2018 Si coupe is doing. I treated that car really well, it had low...
Hey gang. I got my Type R back in Feb. and it came with this hood scoop. Not complaining at all as I love the look, just don’t know how to tell what brand it is. This is unfortunately the best picture I have of It right now. It does use the factory bolts in the hood and looks really nice...
I'm not a tire expert by any means, that's one of the reasons I asked for advice here, but if you are thinking of going with a taller sidewall (40 vs. 35) it would make sense to do an 18" wheel per what people have been saying. If you really want the larger wheel look, then a 19 is good you'll...
