Hmm, I don't see how the 18's would lower the car then cause the overall of your current setup if very, very close to the stock diameter.

Well it deffinitely did something noticeable because I never used to scrape in and out of my driveway at home. but I do now, and it pisses me off. I have to go in at an angle and go really really slow to avoid the "scrapage" lol

LOL @ scrapeage

I'm used to driving like that so it's nothing, so long as the ride is still comfortable.

This is what my 89 Civic looked like right before it got stolen. Sittin' on 17's, dumped 3" all the way around with H&R Race coils and Tokico shocks.

Eh, I don't find the humor in that, but if you do, more power to you.

I thought it was the cleanest 4th gen on the streets of Sacramento. Wasn't too many Civic out there messing wtih me when it came to looks. And when it was in motion, oh man, it's a wrap! Not to mention the $2500 system I had in it, that was my baby *sheds a tear*

I was in the planning stage of a motor swap when it got jacked, I was gonna put in a ZC motor(DOHC from Japan). Car was stock 92hp, the ZC was gonna boost it up to 140hp. It was only gonna cost me $400 for it too *ballin' like a baby*
