the TE37’s (or lookalikes) look good.

No offense, maybe its cuz it looks very similar to the EP3 Civic Si, but I just don’t feel this car.

Thanks, new one is softer which is good and bad. For daily driving it is a million times less bouncy and seats are comfy. Power-wise it’s the same (since dealer reflash), handling is about as good but for different reasons. Only place i’ve pushed both cars to their limit is autocross, and the new one is WAY faster through slaloms, but the older was faster around sweepers.

lookalikes… grids, TE37’s were literally $50 less per wheel than my whole set. I’ve messed up enough wheels to know that spending $750/wheel for my size is a bad call. The TE37’s are 2 lbs lighter 17.5 vs. 19.8, but I am not baller enough. Also, no offense taken, the styling of the new STI’s is def odd and hit or miss for people, I won’t deny I liked how my previous one looked a lot more. The combo of practicality & performance is why I got a new one.

word, I will get mad shit from the iwsti forums because they will shit on anything but advan and volks. Whatever, I live in buffalo and work on buffalo salary, not SOCAL/NYC 😛

I actually did try to order a set of Advan RS’s but they are out of stock EVERYWHERE and to top it off they don’t fit right (need to roll/pull fenders).
