Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

[Dremetos]

Bag is shipping tomorrow. Airlift lost my bag for a while..

[Dremetos]

After required rear spacers ill be at a final -37et in the rear, not to mention mike doesn't need to put his subframes on the ground lol. I love the Enkeis but the specs are just too weak for my vision for this thing

[fackinsteve]

My friend mike with the rusted Del Sol is running flares and -5 camber I believe with the same spec wheels you have so I don't think it will bring much of a challenge

[Meeve]

agreed the enkei were tits. Diamonds are common.

[Shogunate]

Give me your 92's so I can put them on my '92

[SnazzyQ]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I liked the enkeis so much more.

oh whale. In for widebody tho

[Dremetos]

Picked up some 15x8 0et & 15x10 -12et diamonds today for a decent price. Enkeis are going bye bye. These need two tires (going to step down to 165's in the front, and move the 195/45's to the rears) but other than that, it's officially time to destroy my fenders long time.




Due to bag clearance in the rear, extreme negative camber will not be the move. Here's a before and after in regard to poke. I do believe a wide body will be required

"The outer rim will poke out 62.4mm more than before."

Its only money

exaaaaactly, broke college student teen VS quality machined parts = hacked ish....

In all seriousness, __squuaad__'s work is quite good, I've never heard any complaints from any of his products and he's done many forks & spindles. Guy stands behind his work and builds one-off cars for a living, so I trust him.

[fackinsteve]

I have to agree with those forks, at least from the pic they don't look that safe. I would feel safer getting the billet ones for $250

Its only money

[Dremetos]

Meh, The way I look at it, if they fail, how far does the car have to fall before it hits the ground?

[Imaeechew]

It's a stupid unibody design, the bag is clamped to the strut itself (these 4-6th gen Civics have extremely tight strut clearances due to not being MacPherson struts) so that wasn't an option.

__squuaad__ made my drop forks (two _'s) (DM him on IG), he charged me 150 shipped to my door and used his forks so meh. Took about three weeks to get them though. Better than 250 for any other set though.

That is why I don't do air on Honda's McPherson suck! I have them on my daily and the wagon rides so much better.

I might have missed it...Did you blow a bag and have to send it back? You probably could have bought a new one and had it by now, then just keep the other as a backup

I'm sorry, but who welded those drop forks?

Been bullshit recently, waiting on shipping still. They haven't even gotten the bag as far as I'm aware. Regardless, I've gotten my camber plates up front to actually function and got the spindle pretty far away from the bag (on the one side I can test, but the camber SHOULD be even now that both ball joints aren't clapped..)

Also decided to spindle drop the car, with it set on the ground (the other front resting via a small piece of wood under the pinch weld...) it was reverse raking a tiny bit and the front wasn't completely hitting the ground so that isn't sufficient. Should be dropping those off to get welded Tuesday. After I get those, and my bag back, it'll be fully laying out on the ground, tucking 15" wheel all around (or damn close to it.)
