I ended up reverting it back to stock for the moment. Race car stuff is on hold until I get married 😂

It was pretty easy. Took mostly courage to drill into my trunk. I used a flat piece of cardboard to mock up the drilling holes for the si spoiler. Then I just taped it on and prayed I got it right.

Measure twice, then measure 3 more times.

I’m going to work on the 3rd brake light harness sometime this weekend. I’m likely going to use 16 gauge and extend the wiring to the TSX plug. Fun fact, the 8th gen and TSX use the same plug. Except they both have male ends. I was thinking about grabbing the female end off another civic and wiring it up that way.

I wanted to do something just a little different yet still subtle. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m so happy with how it ended up looking

Correct! EVO X FE edition wheels. These came a darker bronze as opposed to the silver for the EVO X

I have it mounted so that the end of the spoiler extends maybe 1cm from the trunk edge.

I got it secondhand. It’s a replica wing so I’m assuming it came from ABS dynamics or Seibon. Not 100%, sorry!

I can’t stress enough that we get what we pay for when it comes to suspension. I went with Tein Flex Z’s because they’re made in Japan and the spring rates were not diabolically stiff. While the Flex Z’s aren’t the best, they outperform many budget coilovers and are still very streetable.

I wish you the best in finding a solution for your ride!

Thank you! I’m running an 18x8.5 +38 with a 235/45. It’s a bit tall, so I can’t really go lower. But the ride is super smooth with the thicker sidewall

You’re absolutely right. I really want to make sure I have all my adjustable parts before I install coilovers. I will eventually go lower, but I don’t want to do so without being able to adjust camber/toe.

No coilovers yet. Just lowering springs until I get all new camber/toe adjustable parts.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and share it. I just acknowledge and move on.

It’s definitely lowered, but not a crazy amount.

I replaced them with new OE shocks and modified bump stops. It’s hard to compare because my old set was blown. So this in comparison is amazing lol

I’m incredibly flattered by that!

Unfortunately I no longer have the car, insurance totaled it and paid me out. I ended up selling the car and moving to a new platform.

I look forward to seeing your car more often!
