my deadline to have all this stuff on the car is mid May. i'll prolly be picking up the wheels and shifter bushings hopefully this wednesday. ill have the tires mounted/balanced either by the end of this week or early next week. plan on ordering the LCA's this weekend if i sell the 5 spokes i have within the next couple days. everything else will just come as time goes on...

once the time comes for when i get my hands on all the suspension stuff and get to installing it, ill def. try my best to make DIY's for all of that junk. installing: lca's, front sway bar, rear sway bar, and subframe brace...after a couple weeks of having all the products on my car at atleast running at 1 autox, ill make an effort to do a product review aswell.

 

I know these aren't on your list but the 15x7 Kosei K1's in silver are on closeout at Tire Rack, $109 each. They're 14 lbs. in that size.

what ARE you looking for? [8D] if I were you I'd get the rear bar in first and see how the car is responding. see what you really need to change. some people just remove their stock front swaybar, I might try that this year. Here's a bit of info, there's a ton of experience out there, keep searching!

what are you looking to get out of the LCA's? weight reduction? better bushings? make sure you get something with swaybar holes.

everything else looks good.

 

eh i dont like the K1's much and they weight to much for me...i'll prolly wait after i get the rear sway installed and think more about the front sway. maybe ill like the oversteer lol. as for the LCA's, my OEM ones dont come with holes for endlinks which is my main reason for buying aftermarket ones. the weight reduction is just an added plusi was thinking about getting an Energy bushing kit but figure ill just put that extra $150 or so to an autox school...thanks for the info marnie.

 

oversteer is fun [8D]

I didn't know your car had no endlink holes in the LCA's. weird.

the poly bushings are a good idea on a car of that age. . . . if you want to deal with the installation.

 

ya i think all 5th gens(maybe not the case with the hatch si) dont come with holes for endlinks. i kno it for sure with ej1's tho...the lca's and sway bar come with all thebushings i need brand new so i wont have to bother with buying new ones unless i reall want the energy ones.

 

if it doesn't come with factory rear sway bars, then there are no holes for upgrading, sucks, i got the same problem, i just don't want to pay that much just to get lca's with holes. plus my suspension setup is good enough for me, at least for now

 

hey civicex, it may be me, but i thought the ITR rear sway bar only came in 23 mm???

 

i believe the99-00 models come with holes in the lca's for a sway bar because the SI come factory with a sway. figure it'd be cheaper to produce just one kind of lca's for those years rather than two different typesjust for a lil hole..

and there are 22mm and 23mm itr sways. i've seen both on a bunch of different sites. passwordjdm.com used to have both the 22mm but they took it off for some reason, now they just have the 23mm set..

i should be getting the tires sometime this week or next, depending on how soon my friend can get them off his wheels. i've set dates for when to place the order for my wheels, should be either the 23rd or 24th of this month. hopefully ill decide on what wheel/color and find the right seller/price by then. once i place the order for the wheels, ill be putting up my current MB Motoring wheels for sell. i might try to sell em on here, if not their goin on ebay.

 

^ honda didn't make them forthe 96-98 models becausethey only putthe swaybar package on some of the 99-00 bodystyles

 

****ing sweeet
