Hey guys,

I've owned my CTR for nearly a year, i've gone through loads of different things, different tyre sizes and i've always wanted to keep the car functional whilst being wide and low as well..

I've currently got ET25 17x8.5s with a 215 45 tyre and have no rubbing round the track :D I now want to try a 245/40 up front :D

This is compiled from my year long project thread on CTR forum found here..http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=190892&start=700 -

Great looking ep3! But I don't get why people brag about negative camber?

And are those backup sensors on your rear bumper?
