ZCP Wheels on Non ZCP Suspenion

briancl · 06-30-2014, 12:08 AM

Hey all,

Does anyone have pics of the ZCP Wheels on a Non ZCP Car? I believe the Competition package lowers the car a bit more, so would it look off on the non zcp suspension? Pics?

No you'll be fine and it'll still look good

Amirsm3 · 06-30-2014, 02:08 AM

Don't do it. You'll break the internet.

Just kidding. Should look dope.

Brian0473 · 06-30-2014, 08:17 AM

No pics but it will look great.

JM35 · 06-30-2014, 09:52 AM

You can always throw some springs on or coils. But go for it.

ZCP barely sits any lower. It's probably next to impossible to tell in a photo unless you have two car right next to each other.

K.M. Tim · 06-30-2014, 12:03 PM

10mm lower. You'll be fine.

edwinm3 · 06-30-2014, 01:32 PM

10mm = nothing

My non ZCP with OEM ZCP wheels. Before spacers (which helps with the looks)

Dave07997S · 07-01-2014, 11:59 AM

There is a difference...here is a photo from this post..

Here is a pic of my car...its a ZCP. Notice the rear..also my car has a shorter 285/30/19 which makes the gap even more noticeable.

briancl · 07-01-2014, 12:34 PM

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I do see a slight difference. Main issue with not wanting to alter the suspension is warranty work. Has anyone ever heard of issues due to installing lowering springs on the car?

MRG Race Co · 07-01-2014, 12:52 PM

Lets see some pics already Brian!! They look oh so good on your car!!

Dave07997S · 07-01-2014, 01:09 PM

Here's another pic to compare with a non ZCP car..unfortunately it was with my cell phone.

A little bit of lowering will generally look better regardless of wheel style, but there's nothing about the design of the ZCP wheel that makes it incompatible with the stock non-ZCP suspension functionally or aesthetically.

Denk · 07-01-2014, 07:37 PM

a couple of mine on my first e92 civic...OK, Dinan stage 1 though so essentially the same stance as ZCP. Seriously, it does look better with just that tiny ZCP drop but totally fine on the civic suspension.

JM35 · 07-02-2014, 11:20 AM

They look great! Put some springs on to get a little drop, or coilovers if you don't want to drop it as far as springs.

JTO24 · 07-02-2014, 03:15 PM

I have a couple of pics I can post later... spacers and ZCP wheels on civic m3 suspension.

About 1/2 inch lower, and it definitely looks better/lower to me. Cant really tell in pics because the wheel wells and tires are dark which covers up the gap difference but in person its more obvious.
