Scale Coilovers low version with normal version springs
Ride is better than low version springs, but just barely
No where near the ride of the H&Rs but it’s better to look good than to feel good darling

I thought you were getting the silver coilovers? Or was it boosted? Sorry I don't remember his full name on here.

Still looking super tall
I guess they aren’t going to settle
Have about 800 miles on them (since last week! I drive too much)

The red really looks fantastic in this picture.

Oh, and while we had the wheels off I looked for camber wear…. Zero with 7500 miles of driving
However, both rear tires were worn well more than the fronts with the passenger rear being the worst
Not really sure why that one is almost worn out already
Evenly across the tire, I guess lack of ability to fully align them
Looks like I’ve got two new tires coming in my near future

I checked my primacy Michelin tires at michelin.com. they come with 8.5/32" tread. 55k warranty Michelin recommendation is rotation at 4-6k miles. NOTE: IF DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES ARE MOUNTED ON FRONT AND REAR the warranty on rear is reduced by 50%!!!!! (Typical warranty on unibody SUV's maybe with shorter wheel base???). I recommend due to Honda CR-V experience rotation at 4-5k miles or when rear tires have 1.0/32" tread less than fronts!!!! More miles and much less road noise. I have noticed having to steer into wind more at highway speed if driving with crosswind, so one would think more front wear but could be rear????

It is @2016BoostedGreyGoose that has the Silvers and is too busy “working” to install them and giving us a full review

2012 Honda CR-V AKA "tire eater". Highly highly recommended with that car to buy tires at discount and rotate every 4k miles (they rotate at no charge) to get about 2/3-3/4 warranty miles. They credit warranty miles if rotated and with complete new sets if bad tire requires all tire replacement..

Yeah that’s not relevant to my situation
No one is warranting a lowered vehicle that no one makes proper alignment pieces for
True I could rotate and extend the life of the set of tires, or I could just leave them and replace two at a time since the fronts look brand new

I hear that , I'm working to much myself. But I'm in Connecticut, so I'm in the beginning of winter. So my plan is to lower it in the spring.

Yep. It is a real pain to rotate every 4k so I usually do 6k and discount prorates wear really well with their certificates. I am thinking about replacing my Michelin primacy with general 75k mile altimax rt45 @$166.00-$176.00. (about 3-4 years off).

@volknuts

What is the make/model of your bed cover? I didn't see it listed. I'm shopping for one. How well do you like yours? Hows the weather proofing?

I'm mainly getting sick of leaves building up in mine. They DO NOT blow out on the freeway.
Looks like this. Did I get a correct match?

 

[volksnuts]

@GPSMan thats the one
Keeps 99% of the water out
I wouldn’t keep paper back there but anything else is fine

Thanks.
What do you think is the difference between that one and the similar looking BakFlip?

 

[volksnuts]

@GPSMan the biggest difference is the Undercover does not lean against the cab when opened all the way
The armor flex is also Rhino Lined so you aren’t going to scratch the top ever

 

[volksnuts]

Also they are made by the same people so you really can’t lose with either
Get whatever is the better deal
