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

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 kindasad.gif

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 biggrin.gif thumbsup.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

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 laugh.gif

id say its just personal preference they both look good. I guess you can say euro raisers if you dont have side skirts and front and rear splitters, but if you do then go with jdm one. whatever suits you...
