@people_who_want_a_drop: I can't drop him. The roads almost try to swallow him up whole here as it is.

@initialdean: Konig Helium 15x6.5 bronze, Dunlop Direzza Z1 195/55/15

Actually, the name isn't from a video game. Gustave Eiffel was the French metal structural engineer who designed the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel tower was thought of because of Eiffel 65's song Blue (da ba dee). Convoluted, yes, but it's a good name.

lol nice.

And dude, NJ's roads are worse than Maryland's. I drove all around Baltimore and Silver Springs a few months ago. Bad, sure, but not as bad as NJ. Dump it. You should feel under my front lip, it's so chipped up it could cut your hand

yeah the roads up here are worse than down there, and being that you have a base model you would do just fine!

What about speedbumps? (both planned and unplanned) Some of the speed bumps here are 6" tall by 12" wide. I have to approach my driveway extremely carefully to ensure I don't scrape anything getting up, even then sometimes I scrape the airdam. Even the stock 2003 Civic will scrape sometimes.

I also autocross, and any springs other than stock push me out of the stock class that I run in. I never really liked the look of dumped cars.


That being said, I'm starting to think about 16 or 17" wheels.

Your car looks great and so clean and shiny! I agree with dropping the car where I live it would be crazy to drop it any lower than it is. I already close my eyes and don't take a breath on some of the roads around here.

lol i dont even know where Bel Air is at all.... I live in Silver Spring and all our roads are being repaired now so they are bad LMAO I finally get to see your car pictures. Geez took forever!

EDIT: BTW 15's on the GE look to small. Even from the looks of the stock wheels, they seem to have small clearance from the caliper. You should sell those wheels.....................hehe

Change the Driving Lights and license plate lights to a colored LED, looks sick.
