Agreed. These wheels look good on it though.

I think I've talked myself into sway bars.

Are you sure? Dont forget you should have some sort of shock / spring upgrade done as the stock shocks are terrible, swaybars (esp. the rear) are a huge upgrade. Actually, going from the stock 21mm front to a 22mm isn't much of a difference, and I think 24mm is too much unless you're tracking it. Just adding a 20mm or 22mm rear adjustable and playing with the settings is the best and most cost effective option. That's what I was ultimately deciding on.

how long did that take? hopefully not as long as JasonPA in deciding what to buy or Jeff in actually buying anything for his car. :giggle:

My decision was quick on the rsb, the car felt like it was rolling too much on highway off ramps

He couldn't hang with the big boys so he sold them

His new wheels look better, and well, I bet we'll be hearing from you complain about rubbing when you get your springs on :rotfl:

Not gonna argue the new ones look better... I wouldn't puss out and sell my TL's thou, I will just throw a little more camber on or pull the fenders a bit...

I bought a new clay bar set for this Acura. I expect the clay to be in horrible shape when I finish and will be a one time use.

LOL, its only a inch difference, so shush up....

I am planning on running 235's next year if I still have the civic....

I wouldn't recommend. You can't get on it hard in corners with it. Will shred your tires. Lol

10mm spacers add another 1.5 degree's of camber and everything will fit....

Tires will survive but my fender wells hate me

Hella-unfunctional.

I still have a bit of research to do on the fronts, JasonPA, but I'm set on the 22 rear. I may do a 22 front as well. From what I've read, 24mm brings back understeer.

Not really, its pretty much gonna be the same set-up that Ken ran in his SI before he got rid of it... and he had no issues and it was plenty functional...

She was like your car stays flat in hard corners and then she gased it and I said the rear isn't gonna come swinging around when you do that. Lol

I'd leave the front alone, going from 21 to 22mm isn't a big difference, 24 is too much, a lot of people rely on swaybars too much.

Kens car handled well when he had it at the dragon two years ago, he had star specs on it also.

He let you drive it?

I was "running" with some local cars last night, my car definitely has more power than it should :bricks:
