Have RPF1 17x8 +35 offset on the way, just joined the site, as soon as I can post pics I will do so
Nimitz. It'll look good.
A lot of people will tell you 17in is too small but it'll look fine and functional.

What size tires?

My plan for the car was performance first since Im limited tuning wise for now I wanted the wheels to be light and keep the handling similar to with the stock wheels. Rpf1 seemed to fit the bill, only have 6000 miles on the stock tires, so will just put them on the new wheels till they wear out was looking at hankook rs3 tires of the same size as my next set, ever tried them ?

Looking for a spoiler

Any suggestions on a spoiler for a black 2015 ILX? I see that everyone says "OEM rear spoiler" but I see a few different ones online for sale - and only one pic instead of multiple view to compare. I saw the Pure and the T5i but don't see a huge difference from the one view of each they provided.

Thanks!

OEM or bust. Easy as that.

Or they make the hybrid spoiler.

Either of those two or nothing I say. Anything else will look ricey.

Quick question, I'm looking at the H&R springs (model year 2014)

So from what I understand they use the same springs as the 2014 Civic? The part number I looked up on H&R for the ILX is 51890. The Civic sedan is 51890-2, but the Civic SI sedan is 51890-2.

Just curious, cause might be easier for me to find used springs off of Civics.

the 2014 civic and 2014 ilx springs are the same (im positive on the 2.0 ilx and 1.8 civic but not completely sure about the SI and 2.4 ilx) I just put the H&Rs on my 14' ILX 2.0 they were on amazon new for 230$ (51890) thats the cheapest i found them new. I think all of them use the exact same suspension though but don't hold me to it.
Jon can confirm this for you.....
I love my H&Rs so if you don't want coilovers i definitely recommend these!
