Update:

Purchased a set of rims and put some new rubber on them
Koyo Drifteks, Front - 17x9 +35, Rear - 17x8+34
Tyres - Bridgestone Adrenalin's RE002 - 225/45/17

Got room now for brembo's ...

Would of preffered having 9" wide all around but they came up with staggerd tyres for quite cheap so purchased them and put decent rubber. Still need an alignment but sits at perfect height!

Wow the V-lip looks awesome, now wanting to do to my car. Does it have any affect on downforce or air flow ?

thanks dood! Doubt it, if it does you wouldn't feel on street of course. Not sure to be honest.

Today I received a full wheel alignment at BT motorsports. I was able to achieve a max of 2.4 degree of camber at front from 1 camber bolt per side and buddyclub n+. perfect amount, no scrubbing at all and handles awesome!

Rear was pretty good already, front was clearly way out from install of camber bolts and new wheels. Here is Alignment settings :


Honda Car Club meet @ shift performance saw me purchasing 5mm slip on spacer for the rear and also aluminium tapered gunmetal wheel nuts. Poke is quite nice, not able to show properly through photos but i tried.

Wheel Nuts:


Rear 17x8 +35 with 5mm spacer and 2.5degree camber



Front 17x9 +34 2.5degree camber

Car is now almost ready for track, hoping to attend Shift Performance track day IF I have hub rings front and back and also have my brake upgrade purchased and installed.
Time shall tell!

For now, that is all, out.

UPDATE :

Ok i planned on keeping it a secret till I got them painted, but I'm too excited to share it! I BOUGHT BREMBO's!!!

Now thats off my chest here is the pictures!

Purchased a used Spoon rear Strut brace!


All tucked away


Got some hub rings off ebay $12.


and the best update to date!


now I need your OPINIONS, I will be plastidipping the wheels soon fluro ORANGE, I will be repainting the calipers (so fussy), should I:
A : Keep them red with white brembo
B : Silver with Black Brembo
C : Go something totally different, but has to match orange wheels.

Photoshopped silver and black for refrence!

Oh wow.

guessing you purchased JDM hub as well to fit the brembos?

IMO if you colour code the brembos to the car it will look clean.
But if you kept them red it will still look good.
Photoshop the colour that you want your wheels to be for referance?

Nah just got s2k rotors (lower offset hat) which brings it into spec of jdm hubs (so i understand) so no need for jdm hubs.

I photoshopped my wheels orange but cause they are black its hard to do and turned out goldy color

[aRze]

Nice phillip!
How much rotors + brembo set you back?

I wanted to do this but stock EP3 wheels won't fit over them without spacers >.>

If you get orange wheels I reckon a spoon caliper blue would look pretty cool.
Black I think would also be nice.

Red is fine in my opinion, unless you don't want the colours to be too similar ^^

Thanks man!

Yeah i originally bought them off a guy who had them on his ep3, had to run i think 20mm bolt on spacers.

I'm leaning towards silver with black writing as this will match the orange wheels or black wheels! Thinking on matching the silver to my car (silver satin metallic)
