Andy that isn't nearly as bad as I thought either. I like the a pillar pod. It is noticeable and I don't like tons of attention but it is right in front of my face when I am racing all the civics in town

Dane, got the rexpeed. Fitment is ok. You probably wouldn't notice if you weren't looking. I'd consider a full pillar replacement pod if they start making it. I'll probably be used to it by then though.

I looked at Ami customs a pillar pod and was feeling a little
bad about how much better that looks until I saw it was $170 and you had to send them your oem pillar and wait at least 8weeks.

I was going to order the Fortune Auto drag specs. Seems like they back their product up pretty good. They have a warranty with them but not sure how long it's for. You can check out all that stuff on their website. One reason I didn't get them was because there was no background on them.

Whats the stock spring rate? IMHO, 8k front and 10k rear will be a balanced setup. Like I said though, I have Hypercol springs at home, just have to let me know the length and I.D of the KW springs and I'll tell you if mine will work.

Post a pics of the wheels mounted son! I want to see what clearance you have!


Update: seems GT Worx shows OTS KW V3s are 8k/7k. I would say leave the 8s where they are, and get 10k springs for the rear!

Oh it's bad...lol. I fit 245's on a 10", and couldn't take it. Actually it wasn't THAT bad, just didn't care for it.

I've seen 255 on a 10" and it's not a bad stretch either!

plenty of nankangs in stock! These v12's were actually backordered, so they must be good for something!
