^^whats the specs on those wheels? i got a set (also drag dr31) in 18X8 +35 just wondering what they are gonna look like

yea i was thinking that but i just love slips dude, so clean and basic just image my fa5 with lip kit , dumped with slips mugen wing maybe cf hood and trunk iono sounds pretty sick to me but i was also thinking of the d2's just havent seen them on to many cars so hard to tell

forcefanajd · 12-07-2008, 02:25 PM

theres a member on here with 17X8.5 d2's on a nhbp coupe. it looks rediculous. i was gonna get those till i got a good deal on my drag dr31's.

thanks "that kid ric" for shedding some light for me

im bringing up this argument again because i dont think people understand "outperforming" the hfp suspension....even with konis or custom motons...your car will not outhandle the hfp suspension...main reason is your ride height...2 inch drop is too much for your suspension geometry to work to its fullest potential...without ball joint relocators and extended tophats to correct suspension geometry and maintain proper suspension travel you are plowing through turns more then a dump truck...i hate to say it...but stock si suspension will outperform your 2 inch drop even if you had konis, motons, ohlins any shock ...and yes i have experience lowering a car too much for its own good...i was lowered over 2 inches on coilovers and no matter how much front camber , rear camber, rear sway i plowed through pylons ...not enough rotation ... bottom line...your 2 inch drop made your car perform worse then stock even with aftermarket struts

whats the point of this.let the guy live. performance is also driver oriented so if he feels more comfortable in the car, his performance is up regardless of specs and whatnot

I totally forget sometimes how no one can have their own opinion on this site. gj dude you prlley sucked cause you dont know how to drive or you need sway bars and struts or tires you ever think of that?

paolo2k2 · 12-09-2008, 12:48 AM

huh? i prolly sucked cuz i didnt know how to drive? what does that even mean? its fine if you have an opinion...i am not expressing my opinion at all...i am expressing written facts...a highly engineered coilover setup such as the hfp WILL perform better then your 2 inch drop...it is a fact and is proven over and over again at not only first hand at my local autocrosses but at road courses as well...
