    I've: done the repair: painting over the rubbed down paint added preventative measures: stuck foam where the splitter was rubbing against the paint It was also a pleasure to see that: Honda have done the same with foam protection stuck to the splitter but with denser foam the splitter is...

    Water in spare wheel well (ES Tourer)

    I had the same problem with my saloon. There was a (seemingly factory) hole at the bottom of the boot rubber seal in the middle. Sealed it with some silicone and it has remained dry since. Something to note is that it only got wet when the car was pointing up a slope.

    Front bumper splitter droop / sag on CU1 ES-GT

    The front bumper splitter on my CU1 ES-GT doesn't seem to be properly attached. See attached photos and video (apologies for low res - there is a limit on this forum). Video: Droop / sag In the video, you can see that the splitter seems to bow on the sides if you push it up in the middle...

    Coolant Flush

    I have not experienced your problem and own a petrol so this may not be relevant. I had a successful flush using Holtz Speedflush. Keep in mind that how flush is just as important as the cleaner you use. For example, I had a empty my radiator 2 times before all of the original coolant was...

    People with fitment experience wanted: how do I minimise rubbing risk and why isn't suspension travel considered?

    Looks beautiful. I agree with your point about staggered Vs square setup.

    Update: I have 18x8.5J ET40 and I'd say that they have the perfect poke. No rubbing with OEM suspension and 245/40/18 tyres. We'll see what happens when she's lowered. FYI: attached is someone else's car but same wheels. Apologies for the small images. I think there's a 250KB limit.

    Oh that's odd... You'd expect something as safety critical as tyres to have some stricter standards. And I fell for the same mistake on tyre specs too! Thought it was mm but is actually % of width.

    Ah great photo illustrating the fact. And yeah, the fact that wheels increase camber as they go up in suspension travel somehow completely went over my head. I'm planning on picking up some 8.5Jx19 ET45 which is an extra ~23mm out. Let's hope that works!

    that will they fit website is amazing. i have been trying to figure out how to do those calculations myself but having a tool which does the calculations and visualises them is amazing. i spoke to konig about suspension and they say not to for far beyond 8.5J as you are at high risk of rubbing...

    People with fitment experience wanted: how do I minimise rubbing risk and why isn't suspension travel considered?

    see question at bottom to avoid the rambling... i worked out what combinations of width and offset i can put on my 2009 honda accord (european market) which will fit in the wheel arch. i noticed that the offset required to maintain the outbound position as close as possible to stock (to...
