What coilovers are they??
Im on D2's mate, very stiff but good for track day fun.
The handling has improved on these wheels a lot, there considerably lighter, and wider than the std ones, so im dead happy with them.
They look a tad small maybe, but i was all into the weight loss and handling benefits over looks on this car.
Goes well, on track they can munch on much bigger/faster cars handling is superb.

They look ok, but i think Honda done pretty well with the standard wheels.
Are they any lighter than the standard items? Not being rude, but theres not THAT much of a difference between them (at a quick glance from a non car interest perspective).
Still looks nice though, and if you win the lottery and fancy giving the car to someone, I call shotgun

Yeah there a fair bit lighter, didnt weigh them (not that bothered lol) but lifting them there was a noticable difference oem to these, and its certainly a noticable difference driving the car now, feels more responsive and grippy than before.
Also the std wheels were an absolute ball ache to keep clean and being white they need doing 2x a week, i am saving myself a lot of time with these, much simpler to do!

Hmmm. I'm in 2 minds about these to be honest, think I prefer the standards. Is that a Spec IV you have on there?

No i have a buddy club pro spec, its rediculously loud now, dont think i will keep it on all that long, wakes people up when i leave early in the morning 
Only thing looks wise i didnt like about the standards was the thin width combined with the high offset made the wheels sit in a long way compared to the archs, from certain angles it wasnt a good look, these fill them so much better.

The exhaust... lol. Prob with tegs is, for lightness/rigidity the floor is mostly flat, theres no tunnel for an exhaust to go in, so it just hangs below the floor of the car.
This coupled with any kind of lowering (mine is a fair way lower than std) and exhaust scrap/crushing becomes a common issue. Lots of owners go lower and crush their exhausts badly, but i want to keep mine round :-p

Buddyclub exhausts, just google it. I have a Spec III on my CTR and it is rather annoyingly loud, I've had complaints from neighbours over it.

Your not wrong moe, i love it personally, and from what i have seen pro spec is about same noise level as spec 3, but it doesnt have rattly springs etc.. and comes out straight, better buy imo.

Fair enough, the reviews I read stated the pro spec was more droney and I prefer the Skyline-style slanty look, each to their own.
