I haven't installed it yet -- planning to do it next weekend (gonna do a transmission fluid change while I have the airbox out and an oil change since that means I'll have the car up / undertray off, etc.). I'll let you know.
I received my intake with the paper filter:
Here are "close-ups" with the filter held directly in front of a bright light (first with flash on, second with flash off):
I don't have any real testing / specs / data, but going off a visual inspection only, I've seen (and was expecting) much worse.
Honestly, just do whatever you want. Most people who lower their car don't even take steps to correct for camber issues and are running a fair bit more negative camber in the rear than in front (leading to understeer issues), in addition to some of the other "complexities" I've mentioned, and...
There is no specific amount to correct for it. All Mcpherson's suffer dynamic camber changes under compression, but the dual-axis design attempts to mitigate this. It is most effective at minor compression (performing admirably close to double-wishbone for what it is), but performance trends...
Aesthetics are much better with a drop, imo. I was on the fence, but I decided to stay on stock springs, as you introduce some (correctable) geometry issues (like F/R camber relationship, roll center, and bump steer) and you also give up a significant portion of the optimal operating range of...
I am on stock springs. I have absolutely no rubbing with a 285/30R19 on 19.5 x 10.5 et48. Whether or not you would rub with the Eibach Pro Kit, I'm not sure. 20mm (or 25 to be extra safe if you're using them to determine fitment) spacers is a good test.
@optronix is running those springs (I...
I much prefer these to the V1... V1 was too aggressive, imo -- same for the lip and sideskirts. I wonder if they will do a more restrained V2 version of the sideskirts like they did for these and for the lip?
We need some diffuser options...
Ideally, I agree with you. And, while I also agree with you that it shouldn't be acceptable, I think the sad reality is that $30k doesn't exempt you from orange peel, etc. these days.
I won't contest anything here, and I'll add that the dealership experience is best avoided completely.
That said, one thing to keep in mind:
When this car was released, the base Integra started at just over $30k. While that's a CVT with a different engine, transmission, suspension, etc., the...
What size box? I think I used just over 3 boxes of 36sq ft to do the floor of the cabin from the firewall to the hatch (including under rear seats), the hatch, and inside the doors, as well as the sub cabinet and additional treatment on hollow sounding interior plastic panels.
NP! If you get them, post back. I almost grabbed a pair to daily, but stayed with 19s for that. I'd pick these for autocross / track, etc., though (anything 200tw). I think they're basically perfect fitment from a performance standpoint.
I think +55 is the closest you'll get to the +53 if you want Titan7:
