Not sure exactly. Usually it's like 14-16 degrees IIRC. It should be the mark on the flywheel that is in the middle of 3 marks.

Ok so I finally got the opportunity to install the eibach springs!!!! Definitely makes the appearance look alot different. The ride is still like stock compared to my omnipower dampers on my civic wagon. All in all Im very pleased with the drop. My next move will be to have the seats reupholstered the same color maybe add some sued in the center but I'm still not sure probably oem though. I plan on throwing on my 10offset rims I have on my wagon to see how the 2g will look with dish rims. Until then I'll keep updating
Ok so today I finally put 15" rims with 10 offset on the car which I borrowed from my wagon. I must say 2ndgenguy you were right there is still
Max wheel gap and although the look good it's just not right because the car is still so high. Darn well Im thinking of going 16" or 17" with a 20 or normal 35 or 40 offset. Not sure yet but I'll keep it going
I like how the car sits. looks awesome
the low or negative offset on a honda really only looks right if it's slammed in my opinion. i do like those wheels but maybe in a more reasonable +35 offset if you're gonna go with the j-mags.
I personally think that maybe you should find some super mesh or reverse mesh wheels as they fit the 80's styling more.

If there wasn't too much wheel gap it would look really good but other than that not bad.
I think the rears look just about perfect. The fronts are definitely sticking out a bit. Maybe you should go for some staggered wheels. I always thought I could bring my rear wheels out a LOT on my car, and I guess this proves it. They still look pretty good though, I think. What width are those wheels, BTW? I assume they're a 15x6?
Also, if you go with 16s or 17s, it's going to make the wheel gap look bigger again. I think that 15x7s, and a 205/50 tire are the key for this car with a little less offset at this height, or else you need to go lower.
if those are actually the rota brand j-mags then they are 15x7

I think it would probably look fine with a little less offset then.
i dunno i don't feel like they fit, maybe too shiney lol...

Well, yeah... there is a lot of chrome there.I'm a big fan of the aluminum or silver look myself.
there's no doubt it looks good, i just think it would look BETTER with something else lol... I do love the color of the car though, it's so classy 80's.

Fuck yes. I know it's not officially called Root Beer Brown, but I think it should be.
yeah i was gonna say root beer lol... i want one

Definitely too much of a polished rim for this car. The rims were used as a reference too see whether or not offset rims are capable with these springs and they are definitely not. Cut springs, rolled fenders and mad camber is the only option and that is the road im not Taking. I'm stuck as too what color rim I should get, I like the hint of gold and machined because of the interior and the pin stripe but then I also like the silver or bbs polished look. Any ideas throw them at me
i think you should get someone to paint match the accent color of whatever you choose to the car lol... that's a bit too eighties i know. i did some google searches for root beer honda's and found a nice integra painted the root beer color (which is a little brighter and more purple than your car) but it had black enkei 92's with a polished lip, shit looked ill. and being that you can now buy 92's new again i'd go for that!

OK SO I WAS SLEEPING ON THE IDEA AND DECIDED TO GO FOR IT. I TOOK THE FRONT EIBACH SPRINGS OFF AND SWAPPED THEM FOR THE STOCK FRONT SPRINGS WHICH I CUT TWO COILS OFF AND THIS IS WHAT I ENDED UP WITH. THE RIMS ARE FROM MY WIFES INTEGRA I FORGOT I HAD LAYING IN THE SHED. TIRES ARE 215/40/16 OFFSET I THINK IS AROUND 40/38 RIMS DONT SAY BUT THERES ONE FINGER GAP IN THE FRONT AND TWO IN THE BACK. STILL NO RUBBING CLACKING POPING OR ANY ATROCIOUS SOUNDS YET BUT WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE AS TIME PROGRESSES. STILL ON THE SEARCH FOR THE CORRECT ERA RIMS FOR THIS 2G
those look pretty cool as a more period correct wheel but not sure i dig the plainness of them.
maybe you should rock out with some borbet type-t's like i have on my sedan or maybe some other borbets. they're similar to that style you have now. i like the stance though, looks good.

Hi there. Man you got a beautiful Se-i! I love the condition of it (jealous, in fact) & everything you are doing to it. The pics are awesome too, cause I can see what mine could have looked like. Check out the wheels I have on mine (hope this pic goes over): bummer, it did not!
Anyways, check out my thread: "New From Honolulu, HI" dated 5/5/09 on page 7 of 17. I think they might be the period look you are looking for (Momo). I am running 205/50/15's on them. They ride good, but I have stock ride height! Had 16" manarays for a while, but they were much heavier & didn't look as good.
hey we have a car just like this here at the local wrecking yard, ITS mint inside, just wondering do you need anythimg?
really same model and everything? if so what wrecking yard?Originally Posted by oldskoolef!
Woah, those rims look pretty good. I agree with stat1k about them being a bit plain, but that's totally awesome. The ride height looks killer. Sweet about the 215's fitting as well. The 16s look great. Always wanted to see a 2nd gen with some on there! Looks like great progress so far! Love your ride!
ALRIGHT SO ITS BEEN AWHILE BUT I FINALLY DECIDED THAT ITS TIME FOR THAT SWEET LEATHER INTERIOR TO GET REDONE. HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF WHAT THE INTERIOR LOOKED LIKE BEFORE. THE SEATS AND THE DOOR INSERTS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE UPHOLSTERY SHOP GETTING WORKED ON. IM TRYING TO GET AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO OEM COLORS. AS SOON AS THE SEATS ARE DONE ILL PUT PHOTOS UP AND CONTINUE FROM THERE.
PREVIOUS BACK SEAT FROM MY FIRST SEI
NOW SOME OF THE INTERIOR PLASTICS WERE DESTROYED BY THE SUN SO I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTOBODY PAINT SUPPLY AND PICKED UP SOME SEM COLOR MATCHING FLEXIBLE COATING PAINT. ITS NOT EXACT BUT ITS THE CLOSEST I COULD GET TO OEM COLOR. I CURRENTLY HAVE ALL THE PLASTIC PIECES BEING SPRAYED SO THE EVERYTHING IS NICE AND CLEAN.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
JUST A FEW PIECES ALREADY DONE
I COMPLETELY GUTTED THE INTERIOR.
IM PLANNING ON GETTING NEW CARPET AS WELL IM THINKING OF GOING WITH THIS COLOR.
ALSO GOT TO INSTALL 88-91 CIVIC EF SIDEMARKERS USING 88-91 CIVIC EF SIDEMARKER TEMPLATE JUST BUMPED THE SIDEMARKER UP SOME
AND A ENGINE SHOT
Woah that is SEXY!
