Finally took pics!

Well, I finally got around to washing my car and taking some pics. All I've got on my car is 22% tint all around, H&R Sport drop (old accord v6 version), and SSR GT1 18x8 with 235/40/18 Pilot Sport PS2's. I REALLY want a body kit and the Mugen spoiler, but can't afford it right now :'(



This gives you an idea of how 235's fit with 48+ offset. Gives me about 1mm of room to clear the fender lip, with 1 degree of negative camber. If I had a camber kit, I'd have to roll or shave my fenders....

Well, I only have the OEM Michelin's to compare to, but let's just say I can't believe they're both from the same company! The grip on these are amazing. With the OEM's, they would start sliding so easy, I knew just how hard I could push my car through a corner. With the PS2's, they just keep gripping, and I can corner so hard, that I'm afraid they're going to break loose anytime!

Car looks clean (in both senses)....

Those are the HR sport springs??? That is crazy tight, did you need to change out your shocks?? I am thinking of doing the same, but was deciding to get the HR springs, not the sports.... any drawbacks by getting the sport springs versus the regular HR or comptech ones?

Not sure what you mean about the sport springs vs regular ones. HR has 3 springs OE, Sport, and Race. I just switched the springs and left the stock shocks. I might go with coilovers when my shocks need to be replaced. I don't think the OE springs are worth the drop. .75 inches or whatever it is, isn't much. I get that much drop just having passengers in the car. Definitely don't regret getting the springs. It only cost me $130, and I installed them myself.
