My EC9 brakes work so well despite their diminutive size....trade off is they do need to work hard and hence chuck off alot of brake dust....bit of a PITA really...and I don't think there are any decent/worthwhile upgrade pads for the GL.

ah cheers guys just what i like to hear!!
oldskl - ive got the tow hook back on put it on the other day, though i get pelters from all my VW pals all the time haha! f**k em!
breaks, yeah i enjoy it, but i prefer the wheels darker so just dont clean em haha! every1 tells me to leave bumpers black, and its exactly what i plan on doing, very easy maintenance!

RIGHT! as well all know, winter is depressing and doesnt exactly bring the best out in old cars! so the civics been sitting not gettin much attention at all....so after a long time thinking while i was off work with chronic flu (hehe) and a chat with gizmo on the ms-of-N ive decided to get ye ald finger out ASAP!
full interior is going back in, including standard GL front seats. selling sparco's to a mate and hopefully getting these.

15x7 offset is 40 (this should be ok eh?)

sounds good
yeh et40 is all good. i think 38 is the norm for civics? you wont get any rubbing. ive seen 17s on a GL lowered 50mm and no rubbingconors wrote:hope so man, 15-7-et40...that should be ok huh? wont cause too many rubbing problems? the sparco's are 6.5 et 45...not to clued up on this whole offset thing tbh?
the bigger then number, the closer in the arch the wheel will be, smaller offset - the wheels stick out more
Lol, be careful the first time you take it out after that mate!conors wrote:haha cheers mate, been sitting here for ages scratchin my head and reading loads of gibberish on us forums and that, tbh they all make fook all scence!!....i want to keep it as low as it is...so i reckon i'll just have to crank the d2's up to...SOLID! haha!
I had a few interesting surprises when I was playing around with different setups on my D2's!
well, ive been lookin at a few pics of those 'flashbacks' on other cars and decided that the rota version...is just a wee bit cheap and nasty i'd much rather have the real thing, but seen as the equip 03's are mega expencive, dont look like i'll be gettin them! deffo gettin other wheels soon tho! been off work all week, got the flu so interior isnt goin in till im feelin better!
over and out chaps!
