2021 Boost Blue Civic Type-R

I installed Rally Armor mud flaps this evening. Oh, and the short time I had the car out in the driveway (too hot in the garage) it got covered in pollen. So now my Boost Blue is Boost Blue-Yellow. :p

Bob,
I think the blue covered in yellow pollen is (unofficially) called Gowashit Green.

Got a haircut Sunday, including wait, less than an hour, returned to... OhMyWash Orange.

I’ve almost bought wheels twice this week. Both times I backed out. Can’t make up my mind. I like the Titan-7 TS-5 in 19”, but I also like TE’s which seem to be 18” offerings for the most part. I think I’m going to wait until after my first track day next month. If I enjoy it and want to repeat it, I suspect the 18” Volks will make more sense than the 19” Titans, even though they are more money up front.

Lowered on Swift springs today, 18x9.5 38et Gram DRs also on some thicc Federal 265/35/18

Build thread starts tomorrow with legit pics, I miss my DSLR

Curious– does this setup rub at all?

I literally have the same wheel / tire combo at stock height. Looking for springs and this is exactly the height I would like.

Also, I'm assuming any lowering spring would decrease the stock strut life expectancy, correct?

Thanks in advance!

That's funny I was in the same predicament last week. Actually found a great deal on a set of Titan7s and had the shop bring them out for me. I was just about to hand them payment when my friend talked me out of it to get what I really want.... Volks. Long story short put a down payment on some volks over the weekend. Woot woot.
Either way, @dwag0588 I think you will be happy with the two choices.

Tbf, could you really go with titans based on your username? ?

Yes it rubs as these tires run mega wide, so if you were to lower it I would choose something other than Swift and pray

Hilarious.... You know I actually thought about that after I was considering Volks Wheels. My username comes from my old business when I used to restore classic Volkswagens. But yeah I've been kidding with a couple of my friends who are also running Volks Wheels about how fitting it would be to have them match my screenname. I tell you what though Volks wheels aren't cheap....but they still look freaking awesome.

Yeah but I think you are running different BRAND tires...

The federal rs-rr's are know for running uber wider than advertised and that's our dilemma.

True, but you'll almost always rub without adjustable camber kits right, the stock front camber unit is also super heavy compared to the megan racing one.
