    Just one concern, you're missing the washers that go between the bushings. (one goes below, and one above the center nut.) I have a mini diagram I'll post up as soon as I get home.

    Other then that, it looks like it'll be a hell of a beast once you're done.

    Just one other Q. It looks from the picture like that front rotor is a solid rotor, not vented. What's the deal with that? I thought all 3G front rotors were vented rotors.

    man, you all made me bust out the shoes and flash light and go double check myself, lol. it just looks like the washer isnt there but it is, i have it all loose still cuz i dont have the struts on. i didnt want to have the sway bar holding all that weight up just sitting there. i mean its not much wieght but still.

    and those are pollyurithane (spelling) bushing that came with the suspention technique sway bars.

    and on the rotors, they are vented. i guess it just looked solid cuz of their rustyness they havent been used for almost a year, lol.



    but thanks for all the complaments guys, cannt wait to go burn some civics

    I believe the bushings came with the S/T Bars. I got the same bushings on my car with the S/T Bars. I tell you the front bar makes a big difference with the rear one too.

    NICE!
    Going to be a crazy nice ride once you get her back on the road.
    How much did that sway bar set you back?

    haha, i actually pulled the engine and replaced all the seals and painted it while i had it on the stand. i didnt paint it while it was in the car but yea, after i got through painting it i was like "hummm, i wonder if that going to look good or not" but after i got it this far i am happy with it. you can never go wrong with gray with black, lol.

    and i got the S/T sway bars in a set (front and back) for like 240 shipped brand new from shox.com.

    and the hood is the last thing to go on, but ill let yall know how it fits.

    right now i have the front "bulkhead" off. took me about 2 hours or so to drill out all the spot welds and pry it off. everything looks good sept for the drivers side lower fram support. its a little bent on one side but nothing a little heat and hammer wont fix. its going to be fun welding the new one on strait and square though, lol



    I'm replacing #4 here:

    90-93 accord i believe, the only thing i dont like about it is i need more space inbetween the TB and the intake. its practacly huging my engine and a little too close to for me.
