My Buddies Integra

[AlexBG]

I still dont have my lens back.
So i shot with a 35-80mm which i really ****!!!
Car was dirty .... its winter time after all.

We just went out for shits and giggles to take some pictures.

Here are the pictures tho.

More camber, lower, less haggard fender flare and smaller tires.

This.

Not a huge fan of the wheels either.

Painted front lip and amber turns, would do wonders for the front end as well.

[Han]

With all the adjustments the suspension can have, why anyone would flare the rears for an 8" wheel confuses me. I mean, I see stock fenders on 9.5+ and larger wheels all the time...

[AlexBG]

Well for one for the roads here in St.Louis Missouri ...are horrible.
This car is low for the roads around here. Its also daily driven so he needed to be somewhat functional.
He flared his fender because his tires were rubbing on the fender.

I dont know the exact specs of the suspension and wheels/tires.

I understand he had to flare it because of the tires. That's what I meant by with all the adjustments the suspension can have, why did he feel the need to flare the fenders (a bit haggardly) when he could have EASILY cleared with some camber?

Not trying to put the owner or the car down, just curious on why he chose to do it like that.

Yeah i totally understand what you are saying and I think he didnt want to run camber because of the tread wear on the tires.
I think he flared the fenders himself. He flared them a little too much and then he had to flare them back down a little which caused it to look a bit haggardly but he said they are going to be fix once spring rolls around.

and as far as me.
Thank god for wide fenders on the M

If the toe is in spec, the tire wear will be virtually no different. Camber doesn't kill tires, toe does.

Bah im not a suspension guru ... but i just think thats why he flared him that was my person opinion.

I hope i can get my car dialed in(suspension wise) by Import Alliance this summer tho.

I don't understand the "bad road" argument. If you have bad roads, don't lower your car. At the very least, don't use it as an excuse.

Sportmax can kill the look of even the nicest car. :\

[Hoke726]

if you put a little more stretch in the rear you might be able to get away with no camber just a narrower tire.. bring the front down a touch.. kind of dig the wheels

[magoo_lc1]

I like it and i know where your coming from on our roads im in the SOCO area

[SLAMDcfour]

Alex, why? this isn't worthy yet! lol

Guys relax, im not looking for any awards and its just getting started. The wheels werent my first choice but its what i could afford after i bought my coilovers and i like them (no i wasnt going to save up for my very 1st set, also i just started college so money is tight)

THE FLARE WAS ACCIDENTAL, i just rolled em too hard and had to mallet them back down, come spring ill repair them. I have a rear camber kit at home which will go on after i fix the fenders.

My perches up front are stuck and i will disassemble them later to go another 1/2-1" down.

Spring plans:
-paint lip, mirrors, sides
-lower
-rear camber

I will not be stretching 195's on these, i need the rubber for back roading plus the tires are new and i wont need a set for a while.



NOTE:
This was taken on an incredibly uneven surface, on flat pavement it sits a lot better.

Im pretty sure every town in every state has the worst roads in the world in the "go lower" arguement.

[SLAMDcfour]

Also i already said i'll be lower, i didnt even say anything about the roads.
