i had my doubts about all season tires, i had summer tires on my civic for about 6 years before i got this car and i love the ASX's, man do they handle well. I hated the stockers and these feel like summer tires, but that could be the coilovers helping out too.

Thanks for the kinds words everyone, and yes, i do have some JDM goodness but im loving the USDM goodness as well. Now i have to get a little tweak on my toe out so i can stop just the tad bit of rubbing im having

Anyway, looking good!

We'll, maybe I'll hold out meeting up with you for a bit, I gotta work all day saturdays, every week. I have a set solid schedule. The install meet I went to, umm yea, I told my parents I was going to work all day, and I told my manager the whole *cough cough i got owned by my room fan during my sleep* excuse.

So yeah, the Tanabe's are set, I'm already set on getting them, maybe just wait for photoshoot, and stuff later.

+45mm, but i got my alignment right after i put the tanabe's on and i still had the silver stars, so i think when i get it realigned, it will be just a tad bit of tweak to whats already there and i need a little toe out to tuck in a bit and we should be all good on the rubbing, its not too bad, but its there when i hit big dips in the road

Ha, i knew the title would get some good responses. Mainly i was just referring to the the rims, since volk and weds are so big these days. I do love the JDM goodness as you can see by some of my mods, as you so thoughtfully pointed out

thats money and time better spent somewhere else, you really dont notice they are not painted in regular light, it just showed them more at the angle and light that i was in taking the pics. Maybe some day i will paint them, but its not a priority, thanks for the suggestion though
