Posted this in member rides as well--but I thought it had relevance here. The car right now is lowered 2.75 inches w/ the GC coilovers, and I have Konis on all four corners. Wheels are 17s with 215/40/17 tires.

I'll be raising the car after I show it in a few days. I like the height that it's at, but I'm running too much negative camber right now, and plus, I'm concerned about messing up something underneath the car...I already came close to scratching the exhaust--the cat actually--but yeah. Here's the link.

Looks good. Were you able to hook your sub up to the stock deck? I've been told I can't. How did you do it? What is that thing in the bottom of your hidden compartment area? Looks good wheels look nice too.

Thanks for the great responses...

Sicivic2002, I have a Phoenix Gold amp for my sub. You don't see it because it's not in the trunk, rather it's under the front passenger's seat. I have a volt display (which I wish I had pictures of during night time because it's realllly cool, bright blue and red display). Most people want to be able to show off their amp--but that's okay since I have that display, and, if anyone decides to break into my car to get my stereo stuff, the amp will not be found. It's visible (a bright blue light shines) if you look under my seat, but that's all. Okay, now everyone knows how to steal my amp. Enjoy!

How did you hook the amp up to the stock stereo?

I had to get some type of adapter for it. I'm not sure about details though, because someone helped me do most of it.
Call up an audio specialist store...or shucks, call up a Best Buy or something, and I'm sure they can help you... But yeah, I'm pretty sure you have to get some type of adapter so that you can use your factory deck.

I'm curious what kind of rims those are too? How much did you pay for them?

Thanks for the props you guys.

For lazyazzazian and sicivic2k2, those rims are gunmetal TenzoR AV7s. They also come in white and silver. They weigh 18 pounds. I got a pretty darn good deal for them...including my 215/40/17 Kumho tires, I paid a total of 875. With mounting and balancing and shipping, it totaled out at just about 1k.

Yes, with the Ground Controls and the konis I definitely had to do some modifications. It's not the easiest install, but once it's done, it's darn worth it. You can have a shop do it for you... cost a lit bit more, but it's good to make sure you did it the right way... Good luck!

man, I hope you see this civisir...how did you get the GC sleeves to go over the front koni insert? I have skunk2, but the sleeves are basically the same. Did you shave the top of the koni shock?
