EK9 body kit

[saxophonias]

Ek9 body kit is very distinctive and transforms the looks of our civics!

This is the genuine 2 piece grille which is quite expensive in comparison to 1 piece copies


This is the front bumper lip

And here is the rear lip

Here is complete


The stock

And EK9


The R rear wing

And the stock one

I bet the R creates a respectable amount of downforce

Here you can see the original 2 piece typeR grill

A friend of mine had the EK9 rear wing on his EK4, he said that in one place where once he reached 230Km/h, he could only reach 220 now.

Not every aerodynamics breakdown is a security raiser, but since wing was wind tunnel tested, its a proof of how it improves rear downforce.

Front lip also helps bringin' the nose down... and it looks sweet.

Any personal experience on that? I have always wanted to install one, but unfortunately the front bumper is very very low

[Raimundo]

Not in my car, but yes. A friend of mine has an EJ8 Coupe, and with front lip installed, cornering at high speed has become very handy. Top speed has decreased, it is more difficult for him to reach fuel cut in 5th gear. Car is equiped with B16A2 engine, swapped.

Personally I consider front lips more of an appearance mod, because our cars aren't to be driven over 200Km/h regularly, and in a trackday high speed cornening is consider over 160km/h.

If your EJ9 bumper is low, leave it w/o spoiler, you can break the spoiler if you hit the ground with the nose.

thanks a lot! Good comments.

The track I usually run at (Zandvoort Netherlands) I have a 175, a 140/150 and a 160 km corner when I drive the B16B and the chicane is not present. My D14A3 will have same speed in the 140/150 one, tho others I probably can't reach those speeds.

Hmmmm, I am still in doubt for the EJ1 body (which has 8 cm clearance now without lip).

[Raimundo]

I don't know about Netherlands, but here in Portugal some roads are pretty messed up. Some street parking lots have very bad layouts. The shopping center in which I work, the offway ramp climbs up, to descend after that, in the middle my exhaust line gets in touch with the floor

Also, some entries make my bumper touch the ground, if I had Civic VTi front lip it would be worse.

Its up to the driver to decide, which is the best setup. Super low, super "lips", and super beautiful, or... super driveable!

[Dodo Bizar]

Were I live roads are descent. But in some neighbouring cities are can't drive. Same type of situations.... I believe constructed on purpose to pester the likes of us...

The rear bumper is fabulous... dont like how ej9 bumper show is so high.
like a mini skirt. that i like more
in Portugal even public places are sometimes a hard work for a stock civic being lower than many stock cars. Happy holidays
