Hey all, I just put my sub-zeros on and I am disappointed. The center caps are not even close to fitting... Has anyone else ran into this problem? I have the 45mm offset, they look great and ride good (once I find a shop to align my front wheels) but, there is about 3/4 of an inch too small. I also was experiencing hard bumps when I go over even the smallest hole or dip in the road. I have my struts set on 4-front (no fstb) 5-back (rsb) w/ sprints 2" drop. As for the driveabilty issues, this car does not drive like a OEM maxima as you would suspect with the mods on the suspension. Cornering is as smooth as say...B M W !!!! Really though, the car drives excellent on or off the highway, seemlessly swerving through rush-hour traffic is a breeze too. As for mph and/or acceleration, I would say that these mods definatly made the 0-20,0-60 and 1/4 mile times all drop tremendously, due only to the car's ability to stick to the ground like epoxy.
My (suspension only)setup includes:
17" Rota Sub-Zero 16.2 lbs. 2nd gen Gunmetal w/ Silver Lip
Kuhmo Ecsta 712 235/45/17 Z-rated
Progress RSB
KYB/AGX 8-Way Struts

This car isn't the same anymore...bye bye Mr. Type R Integra!!!!!

 

yeh i got 18" gunmetal sub zeros.. the front center caps fit.. the rears dont.. ive been too lazy to shave the inside of the rear caps a lil bit to fit the center cap.. as for bumps.. i dono.. ar takes some hard bumps.. i have my fronts at 3 and the rear at like 7 .. i have H&R springs wit AGXs.. i have 235/40/18 tires.. maybe your takin the hard bumps becuz your car is a lil bit lower? im not sure.. im jus sacred my wheels are gonna get bent going over hard bumps.. but since the tire is 235/40.. i should be ohk.. hopefully..

 

Your 17" wheels plus the line below is the reason why.
Tremendously, I'm sure

 

 

waz ur settin on ur AGX? cuz i mite jus pick up a GR2 over sprint. GR2 = 2 in the front, 4 in the back on AGX. jus curious.

 

Well, it stated my setup in the first post, so look there.

 

My center caps didn't fit, just found some other ones that did. Check my homepage for pics.

 

tru bro, thanx!

 

You were trying to say something??? What?
don't mean too much..might want to clear that one up dude.

 

I had the same problem My backs stayed and fronts are gone. I had to use a grinder and shave the inside down. but they did not stay. bad design!
I have the 16" slipstreams. 13.5 ls each they are nice.

 

like this much *holds out arms far apart*
and for the center caps, just shave the inside a little, but keep checking so the fit remains niiiice and snug

no other suspension mods. Pretty good ride and grip for the price ($500 rims $500 tires). I can't say it accelerates better cuz this setup weighs more than stock steelies and more weight resides @ the rim than center. However, braking is much improved with new grippy tires. There is a good amount of road feel through the rims/tires with my stock setup, and I hope to get more feel when I get agx/gc later.
Maybe you've read my other thread, but i'm getting oversteer right now. 36psi all around. What do u guys run with 235/40-18?

btw, i left the centercaps off. The fake CF/plastic look cheazy w/the nice rims.
And I'm not happy w/the rims themselves. 7.5 wide shouldn't be paired with 235wide...too narrow. And 45mm offset won't clear any big brake calipers.
