Cheers , just need spigot rings and there straight on mate , high offset as well so they'll look good when its lowered a bit , can't wait for the bad weather to go away now haha

Because of the higher offset wouldn't that make you go faster (only slightly) which would make your speedo incorrect?
 
Offset has nothing to do with speedo really , the size of wheel radius will but only marginal mate. Ive got 15" standard and have used 18" up until December and been on motorways to Scotland and back a few times and hit speed cameras at 70mph bang on the speedo and nothing flashed at all mate and nothing from traffic police as well , hope it helps

My bad, that's what I thought you meant haha. Sorry.
 
Cool mate no worries been looking around think I've found the springs , going to order them on Monday and fitted at the weekend so hopefully the winter goes away and sun comes out and I get the wheels on as well haha , wishful thinking

I've had them springs on for nearly 2 years now, I think they are spot on for the money, just wish the front was another 5mm lower!
 
I know it's an old thread, but just bought a 2004 Accord tourer, replaced the nasty old pitted headlights with new facelift ones and it's transformed the car! Philips Extreme bulbs are awesome too. Have fitted the Apex 35mm springs and it sits really well, although OSF is 7mm higher?? It's only been a day so may settle. Fitting some Civic FN2 type R alloys tomorrow too.
