Damn TurboCivic, you're on HFP's?. Thats not a bad looking drop. I would've never known. Thats it, If my FG2's drop could look like that, Then i'm DEFFINANTLY getting the HFP suspension. I've been torn on what to get and I haven't seen very many pix with the HFP and your car is a GREAT testiment to getting them.

Where can you buy these wheels? It seems like the only places online that have them are a little shady. Any well known tire/wheels stores?

Yeah, I've got some OEM Si wheel spec rims I got from tire rack. I like the OEM specs. I'm hoping that they'll look alright like your car after I put the HFP's on there. I know they're not 18's but I've got my Fingers crossed.

Yeah, though a low drop looks good, you always should take into consideration that if you're lower than atleast 1", you're going to hit things like speedbumps and all sorts of things. Any lower than 1" and you're always going to have to worry about a broken road, a rock or debris in the road. If there's road kill in the road or a turtle crossing the road, guess what, if you rid over it with a 2" drop, oh yeah you're going to hurt your car. It's the little things like that. Dips in the road or in a parkinglot, you fall in them and come right back up and you just scraped the shit outa your undercarriage.

Here in FL, nobody's going to wait for you to slow down while you pass right through a speedbump. They drive so damn crazy and DO NOT SLOW DOWN behind you. You're most likely going to get rearended.....FREAKS!.

All because you're too low and you don't wanna hurt your baby.
