    Re: www.optauto.com

    I wonder if the sway bar price is for both bars of just the front or rear.

    Also, I've heard of the rear bar not fitting with the rear discs. Maybe I'm confusing the ST bar with the Addco.

    Re: www.optauto.com

    It describes it as for both, and for that price, it should be. What do our stock ones measure, just for comparison? It is nice to see someone carrying performance upgrades for our cars though. I'd be very interested in those if I have any money still left after the hollidays .

    optauto has been out for years...and they had a few items for our cars but I don't think anything is really worth it.


    Don't forget shipping will be another cost too.

    Re: www.optauto.com

    btw from what i understand (havent personally verified this), slotted out prelude arms will offer a wider range of adjustment than any of the off the shelf camber kits for the front. for the rear, thats another story, there are aftermarket ones, and then there is 'the washer trick' which i have yet to try. im sure ill give it a shot when my car gets new wheels next year and i dump it again... lol

    anyway i wouldnt write off the prelude arms, they are pretty nice, especially when slotted out for extra adjustment.

    you are correct. the washer trick is good if you dont want to adjust your camber every again.

    Re: www.optauto.com

    the consensus on this forum (this info IS IN THE SUSPENSION STICKIES IF YOU GUYS JUST FUCKING READ FOR ONCE!!!!) is that anything more than a 1.5" drop should be using camber correction of some form.

    the rears can use the washer trick, and the fronts can use lude UCA's and you can slot out the holes to allow more adjustability. and yes, they can work fine with 2" drop or 2.5" drop... just slot them out more if you need more adjustability.

    if you get h&r springs u will be ok without camber kit i would say. anything lower and you might want to consider camber correction sooner than later.

    but seriously crazykamper, u have been asking 1240129301238 questions that are all covered in the stickies... an hour of just calming down and reading before u post will save you an hour of flaming and people telling u to search! plus then u will feel smart when u have the info to yourself and can help other people with it.

    if you search in clearance section of that webstore, you will find crane cam wires for 2G lude that will fit our engines.

    yes they will. once again, search sir. all struts made for our cars will work with stock springs because they are the same height.
