I want to go lower...

Hold on...

Penski doesn't even drive :eek:

is this true? from reading some of the replies he posted, i got the impression he does.

ps. get some new 18s rims and lowered on coilovers. MPG will suffer abit but handling should be improved abit and the car will look much better.:D
 
Stilts imho.

Maybe.

ST alloys Standard height.

Doesn't look THAT bad. Have to see what I feel like when they're fitted and I can see them in the flesh.

Did you not at any point think 'I am running this car beyond my means, it would safer to SORN it'?

:confused: Have I missed something here? If it came between having crap tyres or not driving at all, I'd have crap tyres all day long. Just because they are crap does not mean they will try to kill you at every available corner/junction. Just take it into consideration and drive carefully.

If they were really that bad then they wouldn't be legal.

I guess I should have sorn'd my 306 because the brakes weren't even half as good as my VTI then.

Work part time at Uni but amassed savings when I was working full time as well.

Lifes great when you still live at home ;) You can afford great tyres and everything. Living away from home is expensive on a stupendous scale.

You have thought Penski, with how much he harps on about how peoples cars are on stilts...but he doesn't even drive. So who knows?

As much as I hate a lot of the photos of tripe Penski posts on here, just because he doesn't drive at the moment doesn't mean he isn't entitled to his opinions on car styling.

Hold on...

Linglong, LOL!

Further to the above, he does drive, his car is SORN'd at the moment and he stopped driving temporarily to get other elements of his life in order. I can't imagine not having a car, but I do understand what he has done.

Nothing wrong with painting your stock calipers.

Easy and quick job that makes a noticeable difference.

Agreed, I don't have any fancy Brembo or AP setup, and my calipers are stock. They are pretty good brakes and the calipers look better painted than road-crud dark grey .

Even when dirty, flaky and with a colour that doesn't complement the wheels, they look better than stock. They are overdue a repaint but I don't know what colour will complement the Rays goodness (*fap*)

Like Rich1988 does? ;)

Oh, and that Civic. Is it really T reg? It's absolutely immaculate, I've never seen a car of that age look quite as mint as yours.

I wasnt living at home at the time i bought these tyres ;), or the fronts :p If i was I would have had enough money to put some slightly better tyres on :p
