and im happy with the little hrv not fast like but they do the job

until i put something with more power init have to see

have a look in my gallery i dont yet know how to do the link sorry

[mrtn]

that's a cool looking hr-v there! never realized how small the brakes actually are :D

how to make a link:

1) go to your album which you like to link here
2) copy the address from the address bar to the clipboard buffer
3) start composing a new topic
4) click on the URL-button above the text input window and paste the address you just copied to the input window and click "URL" again

you should have an address between bracketed URL and /URL now which renders into a working link once you post your text.

What size tyres do you have on the car?

im running on 235/35/19

[HRV-BEN-UK]

Sorry but not keen on the wheels, show way too much of 'nothing' at the back.

IMHO if you have a decent set of brakes i.e discs on the back then fine otherwise hide them, it doesn't look good but that my opinion so take it with a pinch of salt. My wifes HR-V has had its fair share of criticism so only being constructive but you'll probabley tell me where to go anyway

Nice tints mind suits the car colour nicely :D

[leonard]

hi

arh you see i like wheels that are open thats why all behind the wheels are painted black, and if i had big brakes they would be painted black as its ugly

thanks

Do you find any problems running on 35's? I was goining to go with 19's on 35's but was advised not to by the garrage. They recomended 18's on 45's as you get a lot better ride and dont feel every bump in the road. Has the handling been affected at all? Bottoming out at all? Still able to drop it with a set of springs? just curious as i have 4mm of tread left and will change the whole lot when the winter has passed. Cheers

[leonard]

[ROURKIE]

What springs did you use, and where to source them from? Godd work M8
Rourkie.

[leonard]

hi there

the springs are P.I springs and got them from local motorist shop

[adlis]

hi there, what does P.I stands for? i have difficulities looking for sets of springs for my V, i was looking for a customised adjustable springs to improve its handling but the damping rates need to be adjusted, r u running on a standard shocks? The standard shocks here are very expensive, its about 90 pound.

[leonard]

hi

i will try and find out what P,I stands for for ya

im running on standard shocks and seems fime

thanks

[HRV-BEN-UK]

Just to add Gents running standard shocks on lower springs is OK for the short term but as they weren't designed for that purpose ( i.e damping at a different height) they will wear out quicker causing handling problems.

Not sure if SPAX or KONI do a sports setup for the HR-V but do a few searches, the shocks are made with the springs and will give you maximuim effect when cornering.

Of course if your a slow driver and its just for looks then do as you please but just giving a bit of advice.

P.I Is a make of springs
