ka9 vipcar spotlight
i have seen this car hated and debated on another website before. so im putting the spotlight on it here on the org.
for those that dont know much about the vipstyle, the most important aspects are stance and fitment. now with that said, the ka9 is not a respected platform in this scene. being front wheel drive makes it more of a challenge to run low offsets. never the less it's honda's luxury flagship. so when i see someone push the limits and break the rules i am compelled to respect it whether its my exact taste or not. my first glance at it, i said damn that thing is low, then my second thought was , wow!!! it has more lipage in the front than most ka9's try in the rear. the parts i didnt like about it have grown on me some. now, all i see is a honda product doing what they do best. hanging with the competition despite the odds. yes it rides this low everywhere it seems. never found a single pic of it on a higher coilover setting yet. here's a few suspension shots. Ivan, Dennis, Eric, and Roncee we need to figure out were to source the upper control arms this car is using. discussion is open.

Kurt, wow very interesting!!! I think the camber's overkill, but still, this is really pushing the limits, showing what the RL can really do.
Jeez, that's some serious work that's been done though. With that said, I'm one that does not like that front bumper.

Tire offset???
Japan roads are so much more different than ours... they're perfectly fine for them to drive super slammed. If I could, i'd be doing that here. Too bad shitty unmaintained roads here cause our car maintenance to cost us much more than in Japan. Kurt it'd help if you could post up the original links to the images.... I can't go off by anything if they're all from your photobucket :P If you want to go through pm, I understand
