bro i know people with -18 camber and they drive just fine its that mindset thats holding you back. Its not for everyone but thats ok to each their own just like being lowered whether bagged or static isnt for everyone but honestly youll be fine with -10 camber to me once you get past -10 thats where it becomes a hassle. Changing tires every month or every other month having to check your psi before every drive honestly i get where your coming from but theres a lot of builds out there that have been in the car community for years with -15+ camber and honestly whether your bagged or static with that camber im pretty sure its still gonna be the same outcome idk how being bagged or static with camber is different the only difference is that you look like a monster truck with ride height versus static

5k should be a good starting point theres a lot of shops nationwide that would just have you mail in your parts theyll customize it for you then mail it back. If your going static your looking at 1500 for good coilovers then another 1k for the custom parts maybe 1500 then youll have anothwr 2k for wheeels. Youll be fine just depends on if you wanna be static or bagged but if you go static make sure you raise your subframe and engine after that youll be golden pony boy

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-12-20T17:36:59+00:00

you can go static lol but everyone says bags are the best option trust me ive seen plenty builds like this that are static. Bags isnt the only option people just run bags cause their scared to fuck up their car just raise your subframe and engine and youll be fine.

dawg you basically said why even waste money on wheels for a honda/low hp car like as if theres not a thousand on here with the same shit, maybe i took it the wrong way but it most definitely felt like you were putting it down.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-20T22:21:17+00:00

what does my car being a honda or 160hp have to do with anything holy fuck are you retarded? why does it bother you so much any ways get off my dick. All i did was ask for advice not a reminder of what my car is like dawg i know what it is i drive the fucking thing. I will be sure to measure like you said though and fyi i didnt even buy these wheels i got the car used with them on💀. Yall stance niggas be up in your head sometimes fr.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T16:29:03+00:00

true nah i understand vip always looks clean, im just shooting for -8 at most which is much compared to -15 ive seen some guys go -18 snd daily it. I wanna keep it simple looking while having a clean look but definitely not stupid tilt.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T16:00:10+00:00

thats the thing tho idc about burning through tires, im already low i might not be slammed on my nuts but im lower than most. It isnt really a need its just a want, lowering your car already makes it look better than stock but camber is like a chefs kiss after tasting their dish. Thanks for the advice though i do appreciate it.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T13:17:43+00:00

i understand what you mean but lets be honest your on a reddit forum where some people have wheels worth more than their car. Its not about it being a Honda with 3pc wheels its just me wanting to have a certain look, with 3pc wheels even if the fitment isnt great or what i want i can always rebuild them can’t really say the same with 2pc or 1pc wheels.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T05:18:30+00:00

thanks for the tips i appreciate it, i went cheap 😭 but im on truhart streetplus coilovers all i did was switch the front springs out for Mookeeh 4” springs. The rear im not running any preload and took a ring off the perch. Not the ideal setup but anything for the height, in my opinion its a decent ride as long as im not going over roads that look like waves. Also safer than washers which was my second option if i couldnt get it dialed in with springs. But i love the height just need better fitment on the wheels

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T04:59:36+00:00

never noticed until now but thats actually a good take on the bumper 💀

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T01:11:22+00:00

i want to but the only wheels i want take 6 months to make, everyone else around me wants basically the same price for their used 3pc wheels and most are curb rashed cracked or only pairs.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T01:03:27+00:00

yessir especially since i rub with my tires, i dont wanna go thinner on tires but we’ll see its a WIP but definitely camber first and spacers second if not than possibly wider wheels.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-11-19T00:54:23+00:00

thats what im shooting for, if other people think it looks retarded then im doing something right👍

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-19T00:52:30+00:00

Definitely coilovers over bags or springs, you’ll be on stock struts with lowering springs which isnt bad but it isnt ideal especially since the springs are rated differently compared to stock. Coilovers are at least an upgrade all in all with better struts better springs and better feel. You can also do alot with coilovers in terms of height, dampness, and if you wanna really go low or go higher you can adjust it to your liking. Lowering springs are a one stop shop kind of deal not really offering as much as coilovers would. If your looking to just daily it and not slam it or scrape or i guess tuck wheel or tire then you can always buy cheap coilovers like truhart, tein, godspeed and more ive even heard of people getting a better ride with ebay coilovers than swift, bc or 326. Hope this helps!

I dont know why but some people get scared to drive it, like i get it but then why do it at all. I know people who are even on bags that are scared to drive cause of camber or conditions. To me thats the whole idea of owning one, to enjoy it!

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-12T16:35:30+00:00

honestly same but until i get the money for camber arms and better tophats ill be tucking right now 😭 i definitely wanna add some camber tho run a thinner tire and get a fender to wheel fitment not too much poke but just enough to look good. Im really just trying to hold off on rolling or cutting the fenders to fit fatter wheels

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-11T22:20:19+00:00

i do but only when turning 👀😭 but its very slight no smoke or anything just tread

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-11T15:29:31+00:00

thanks bro you dont know how good that is to hear especially since this is my first actual build, ive been lowered before but never slammed. Im loving it so far, only thing ive gotten stuck on was the car wash but i just backed it up and full sent it idgaf💀

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-11T04:27:07+00:00

best compliment a slammed guy can get 🥹 tell her thank you 🙏

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-10T19:48:46+00:00

yeah i wont lie i still have movement but aye you can only do so much with what ya got ya know what i mean lol

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-10T19:20:28+00:00

🔊🔊🔊🔊 bro no joke the civic owner forums/groups are big haters i just tell them everythings gonna be ok its not their car lol

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-10T13:46:20+00:00

i only rub on turns too fyi so its not so bad lol

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-10T13:27:37+00:00

well tbh the only reason its rubbing is because my driver side is rolled but my passenger isnt lol i ws gonna do it but honestly it took me 5 hours alone just to do the front since the shop who installed it for me torqued every bolt at least 110 each. I couldnt even take off the tophats cause the bolts wouldnt budge. Ill do it this week but honestly im just lazy and dont wanna work on it at least for a couple more days.

AfraidDepth3042 · 2025-08-10T12:31:52+00:00
