In my old civic, the wheels would hit the front of the rear guard. This might be the problem?
Yeah that's the problem, thanks for that.
How did you fix it?

Yeah I know it's weird, I don't understand either. Nah it hits the actual lip of the guard when loaded up.
Yeah that's the problem, thanks for that.

So i drove half the car up the gutter and put a few Mates in the back and it for some reason now doesn't scrub by about 0.5 mm.
Does anyone know of any cheap lowered springs?
Thanks

In the past few weeks i have made a few little mods to the car.
I have installed Kicker KS Splits in the front and Kicker KS 2 Ways in the rear which are all powered by a 700 watt 4 Channel Fusion Amp.
I have also installed Pedders Sports Ryder Springs which have lowered the car 50mm in the front and 40mm in the rear to give it an even ride height. I have also installed new shocks all round.

What profile tyres are they?
They look way too small for the car!

They are 35 to keep the same rolling diameter as stock because 40 profiles wouldn't fit because of the stupid offset. With my brothers 18s with a 40 profile there is about a 10mm gap between the tyre and guard.

I like the height of it.
Its not too low that its kebab spec, and its not too high its 4wd spec.
Maybe get some slightly darker tints to finish it off.
Cheers,
Shazza

My EZ Lip finally arrived today.
So I went outside and stuck it on straight away, I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks. It's much better than what I expected.
