Thank you Ricky_Flowers

Installed the KW V3 suspension and Blox drive shaft spacers with a buddy today.
I missed playing around with the ride height of my car, it was stupid low and jacked up in the rear but I had to take a pic
Wouldn't be driveable on Belgian roads anyway so it sits a bit higher again.




Also delivered my 08-09 wheels to the powder coater today, bought some fresh rubber (AD08R in OEM sizes) and once the car is aligned and new wheels are on in a few weeks I'll take some better pictures.

So, as I'm waiting for the new tires and my 08-09 oem wheels to come back from powdercoating I decided to try the 18" wheel setup I bought last year.
The plan is to use them in 2018 when I have enough money to buy a good set of wider tires, downforce front fenders and rear quarter adjustments + paint or wrap.





I bought the wheels from the previous owner with these skinny tires, looked great on his car but I'm not a big fan of the tire sizes.
I'm thinking of going 255/35/18 square with these next year.

That orange is so nice. I wish we had gotten that in the US. Your car is looking great!

Thanks, black hardtop does look good with the orange indeed.

You can always have a respray ClemsonWill Imola Orange ones are also very rare in Belgium, even though this color was optional here.
There's only 2 as far as I know, and one Lime Green one.

Wheels were ready so collected them from the powder coater today, new AD08R tires also arrived.

Nice, powder coated the best way to go. When cleaning make sure just use MILD SOAP and treat it just as paint and they will last a long time with that glossy finish looking new. Looks great, good to see another S2K member with an fabulously well taken-cared of one!

Yeah, it's not my first set of powdercoated wheels and I'm always super careful with cleaning products
New wheels are on, forgot about my black CR lug nuts though.

Few shots on our way to Hondafest last week:

Thanks! Hope you do get to see them in person, these colors are really nice if you see them in real life.
Pictures rarely do them justice, especially if I took them

New update! I've been dreaming of these Bride Cusco seats since I had my previous Civic Type-R and now a buddy is selling his project car, which he bought the very same seats for last year and only used them once.
Unfortunately he had some issues with his supercharger this year and decided to sell everything.

So here they are, my new Cusco Bride Zeta III seats with silver glitter back (just need to figure out which Bride seat rails I need for the S2000).
