Does the GT-Four raiser blocks look better or the euro raiser ones? I like the height of the euro ones but I like how true JDM the gt-four/ss-III ones are but they are a lil high. What do yall think?

i agree 100% with you
i think it all depends on how agressive the lower body pieces are. factory sides w/ nothing on the front or back & i think the euro (ss3?) blocks look better 404 sides with a front lip/splitters and a rear lip/splitters and i think the full gt4 blocks look better of course, with art's car with the gt4 front & all looks good with the big blocks -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

I never even knew there was a difference between Euro and JDM riser blocks.
But me, I'd go JDM. |

I'd have a full ss-III exterior conversion by then so I guess the big blocks are the right piece I guess...

Does JDM even mean anything any more?!
Those raiser blocks are no more JDM than they are EDM or Australian! All those regions had WRC's Obviously my vote goes for the Eurou blocks. Perfect height IMO.

gtfour blocks just cuts off the top of the roof on cars behind you. i dont know about the euro ones though
 i would go euro blocks if you have a subtle kit. but if you have the gtfour front or any non subtle front/kit/whatever than gtfour. ........but that's just me

I agree euro blocks are a good height but they are not familiar to most if not all JDM enthusiasts. Plus, I don't think ss-III's came with euro blocks. I guess I agree that euro blocks are nicer but I don't agree that they aren't familiar or as JDM authentic. My car will end up looking like maikl's own for the most part.

my vote is euro
other motorists may think the gt-four style is too flamboyant, where they euro blocks may give off more of a mature look but like erik said, do whatever YOU like. -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

so quick question how much are the euro raiser blocks? And ive read that the 98 integra type r the spoiler gets in the way to where its hard to see the person behind you. Does that same thing apply for the euro raiser blocks? cause i like them more than the jdm. I just think the jdm ones are to High.

The Euro ones are in the way a little. They can block out the face of the person in the car behind, which i didn't think would annoy me, but it does a little

It should also be mentioned that the two have a different effect on the angle of the stock two post as well - check out that pic I posted before and you'll see what I mean. looks to me like the GT4 provides more downforce whereas the euro provides less drag [obvious counterpoints of downforce vs drag] - it may entirely depend on what kind of driveing you intend to do.

Euro,
But good freaking luck finding one. I've been searching for a while, and I'm almost thinking about shaving off some of the material from the GT-4 blocks. Anyone know where I can find some (for an un-absurd price)? -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
