Finally got my 18" Rims from wheelmax. Pics Inside. Not the best pics in the world!

These are my 18" Katana Ducati's on Ventus H405
(never heard of them) I was suppose to get the rims with Kuhmo 711's but they screwed up and put the tires on the rims for my mom's accord which are 17" (so I couldnt switch them either) Oh well..

I know I know...dont even say it....I NEED A DROP and I need to wash my car. This damn NY weather sucks ballz.
That is next on the list.
I am thinking of going with H&R Sports and KYB AGX Adj.
Anyone with this setup on thier 3.0 ?
I can't seem to find the H&R Part# for my 3.0?? Anyone?

I think the H&R springs are the same for the 2.2/3.0.
The part number is 51851

Yea I'm from NYC.
I dont have suspension yet...that was ib_jimmy who just photoshopped my original picture from up to to lower it.
Im trying to decide what suspension springs to go with. I'm definitely going with Sports but not sure which brand to go with....Eibach, H&R or Neuspeeds. I will have to get a camber kit.

I already have clear corners....just havent had the time to install them with all this damn East Coast rain we've been getting the past month. HOpefully by this weekend...clear corners, debadged rear emblems and a good ole wash.

Kid don't worry, I got the Hankook Ventus on my 18's, and they are pretty decent tires. I'd buy thm again, and I recommend them to anyone who thought about putting Kuhmo 711 on some 18's. You made out better with the Hankooks.

Thanks man...I definitely feel much better now that I have heard good things about them.

I got the 18" Wheels and tire combo for $800 from wheelmax.com during their Memorial Day weekend sale.
I actually ordered 3 sets of rims that day.

Ok...I have narrowed it down to either the
H&R Sports (If I can finally get someone to verify that the H&R Sports for the 94-97 Accord work for the 3.0 CL) or the
Neuspeed Sport Springs (1.75F / 1.5R) and a camber kit.

Anyone with opinions on either of these two?
I am not going with the Eibach Prokit because I just know that after I drop it and I see a wheel gap still there like I've seen on a few rides with the prokit and 18's in this board I will be dissapointed, So I will definitely go with sports, just need to figure out which one's.

P.S The springs will be complimented with KYB AGX Adj. shocks.

Anyone?

So...I decided and ordered
Neuspeed Sports and KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks.
Springs $145 Shipped
Shocks $330 Shipped

Now...can anyone give me information as to camber kits?
Will I need it (probably wont know til i do an alignment right?)
Can I just do the DIY rear camber bolt fix and just get a kit for the front?

I was gonna tell you to go to aieonline.com for the Nuespeed too. I have the Neuspeed Sport and KYB AGX on my 3.0 and it ride great. i have a set of Ingall camber kit but i didnt install it cuz it doesn't seem like it need it. its not eating up the tires from the inside at all for me. and with that camber kit you'll have to pound the hell out of the inner fender for clearance.

Thats real cheap for rims and tires. My Nitto's cost almost as much as your entire setup.

looks aiight... suspension parts are always 5th gen (94-97) accord parts. Search for that. go with H&R race. Sports are for the weak. You'll just bareley tuck... but not bottom out the strut assembly... PERFECT

ricardo:
H&R race on 18's ? No Thanks.
I chose Neuspeed Sports and I know I made a wise choice. My car is for everyday street driving in NYC, lots of potholes , bumps and what not, a race suspension is not ideal in NYC. Thanks anyway.

They had a hugh Memorial day weekend sale in which they cut prices like crazy. I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by.
P.S I like your front grill....was it a DIY? and if so care to share how?
