  • Still need an alignment and im goin to do the washer bolt trick in the rear to reduce the camber

    As you can see its pretty negative haha
  • Ill let em grind off :)

    And yes they're the original struts and the option adj coilovers
    It rides really good thanks to the tophats they do wonders

    Next is new exhaust with a turboflow muffler
    Its going to sound so good

    I finally installed my H&R coilovers yesterday. Will go a little lower this weekend and then post some pics.

    In the photo of the two wagons, what wheels are on the right one? they kind of look like civic hybrid wheels?
  • Yeah they are the hybrid ones
    I like em em for 14's

    Im going to swap the stock shocks out asap so I have a better than stock ride
    Its ok right now but it could be a tad better I think

    Yes post some pics of the ride height
    Tell me about your shocks do they bottom out

    I apologize to everyone for my lack of punctuation if I hit certain keys my phone freezes :(
  • wow, really slammed, looks crazy, well done

    Hey bammer great work on slammin the wagon...mines slammed as much ad my coilovers will let me...question for your "twin" wagon...you mentioned that they were indeed hybrid rims...but what year, cus they look like the 8th gen hybrid rims but those have a different bolt pattern...and ive never seen that style of hybrid rim on the 4x100 modrl hybrids??
  • Thank you for all the positive feedback fellas :)

    Dpt- if you cut your rear spring perches you can get waaaaay lower
    Here's a pic of mine

    As you can see I still have lots if room to go lower but my fenderwells say no way haha

    And ill ask the guy about his odyssey wheels im not sure what year they are

    Today im gonna raise the wagon up just a touch and balance the height better
    Then finally do he bolt washer kit and get this thing leveled and riding straight

    They look like Insight rims.
    They came up when I googled Honda Insight rims.
    Either way, wagon looks sick slammed.

    Thank you guys seriously

    Its always so fun working on something You love

  • turned out great, did you end up going with your original struts?

    dont cut the flaps, let them wear on theyre own!

    I drove without fixing my radio for months because i loved the sound of my mudflaps scraping! Now they're so far gone its hard to get them to scrape :(

    Love your wagon dude! I think i should cut my spring perches now lolol

    If you cut the perches you get lower way easier.

    I did the "washer/bolt" camber trick in the rear today. SUPER easy as well. And it helps with rear camber significantly.

    Also got it aligned today .

    how bad are your front upper control arms hitting the shock tower?
  • I was almost tucking rim in the front in 15's with 195/50's and they still weren't hitting I don't think?
    Ill check but I raised it about 2" yesterday due to scrapage

    yeah if the front hits a dip and you get a loud bang its probably the control arms hitting the tower

    not my car but heres an visualization

    what type of exhaust setup or is it a secret?

    mine scrapes so bad i don't want to spend money replacing it
  • header back Turboflow

    And the muffler sits up way higher under the bumper.

    The setup is on the other blue wagon with the insite wheels.
    Which is rad cause I get o see how it looks and hear it too!

    And it sounds really good!!
