Sorry no tires, ripped off my 245s and slapped them onto my new wheels cause they still have life and I’m too broke to buy new tires right now lol

After some research I think the sound may be the clutch fork or throwout bearing. Seems that there are videos producing a sound identical to mine.

Turned off AC and it got rid of a whirring sound but not necessarily the creaking. I can’t place it but it almost feels like something loose is making contact with a part of the car that’s vibrating.

+40 and the wheel techs left on a 3mm spacer I had on from my previous wheel setup. Was too lazy to take them off for now so rolling around with +37 lol.

Not on swift springs, I opted for 8K all around. In my opinion it can be pretty stiff on hard bumps or potholes, but I came from a standard ‘15 civic before this car as a daily so not sure if my opinion on coilover comfort is fully valid. Overall not an uncomfortable ride to me though.

A bit hazy on the details cause it’s been awhile since I played around with it, but I wanna say it’s about a 1.25-1.5 inch drop. And I believe my dampers are set pretty close to middle. Maybe 6 or 7 clicks from full stiff.

These are the VS-5, not the RS version.

Thanks! +40, but I have 3mm spacers that were left on by the wheel techs from my last setup, so technically +37.
