Hi guys! Look what I did today!



This is my 06 LX. Stock.



These are the parts that were sitting in my garage! HFP 17" Wheels, General Exclaim 225/45/17 Tires, and HFP Suspension Kit!



Lets go get them installed! (Yea, no DIY for me. Sorry guys.)



Before install...



After install!




Side Shot (old wheels/tires/suspension was sitting the back, so the rear is a bit lower than supposed i think)





Front Wheel (Before, After, After 2 weeks)





Rear Wheel (Before, After, After 2 weeks)



Cost for 4 tire mounting and balancing ($32) + Shocks and Springs install ($50). Discounted price from family friend, sweet eh? They also did an alignment, but he didnt include it in the quote because he wants me to come back next week after the suspension has settled in a bit to realign.





I can feel the ride stiffened up a bit. I like!

Next on my list...35% all around.


edit 7/30 - I updated the front and rear wheel shots after two weeks to let the suspension settle in and get them aligned. I thought they looked lower, but after looking at the pictures, they look the same. =(?

edit 8/17 - Finally got 35% tint on front, rear, and back windows!



And waiting to install SPC Rear Camber Kit, Progress Rear Sway bar, and Polk MMC650's with Crunch PZ100.4 Amp...




edit 8/23 - Lamin-x smoked tail lights!

Before

After

Lights

Brakes

Yeap!


edit 9/4 -

My speakers and amp finally got installed.

edit 9/8 -

Yospeed license frame, and debadged the "Civic"!

I updated my first post with new pictures of the wheels after 2 weeks to settle in the suspension and get an alignment.

Not sure about the ride with the new tires, but the look is much improved.
