ok guys....i just TRIED to fucking install the front x brace.....and goddamn that was hard! one of my stupid bolts wouldnt come out, then my fucking impact wrench got stuck on it and i couldnt get it off. i was doing all of this in the garage at work right in the fucking middle of the door way and i had a guy coming by in an hour to pick up a car....uh...problem lol. so i was running out of time and i couldnt get the damn wrench off and i hadnt even taken one bolt off! fucking shit lol. so i kinda gave up after 45 mins of trying to get the damn thing off...had a cig and got under the car. the after the break i just pulled and the damn wrench fell off. great! out of fucking time.
anyway on to more important things....the splash guard does NOT have to come off....BUT i had to cut off a lil piece to get the front braces to fit. you CAN take it off...but its too much work in my opinon...i just took a box opener and took a piece off to allow the damn brace to clear it. easy. the rest should go on great. oh and i think the driverside drive shaft MIGHT hit the brace that the bolt goes onto...why? well once you get under your car with the wheels hanging you will see. i kinda cant explain it and dont have my camera SO youre fucked lol.
all in all, this should be fun...especially with my damn car's bolts almost seized in their holes. i leteraly had to take a hammer to my wrench to get it off....even my impact wrench wouldnt budge them....i dunno why! and the damn thing is a SNAP-ON!!!! lol
well ill get pics once i get a chance...i havent driven it yet either so ill let you know what it feels like when i do
damn sounds like a battle! whats the clearance like underneath the car now?
well im only dropped 1" so its ok...its nothing to be too afraid of. the only problem is when i come into work there is this fucking dip that totaly blows...its almost like this \___/...im not kidding either.thats the only part that sucks, i drove it around the building and it seems to be tighter than usual, but it might just be me
^ I'm worried I won't be able to take my car to the carwash anymore lol they say they won't take cars with clearance less than 5.5".
took the car for a little spin last night and i took this one freeway transfer bridge at like 70mph the whole way and normally 50 is the fastest i want to go cause the car would start to wobble and shit. Now the only thing i have to deal with is the centrifical force pulling me out of my seat.. the car itself stays hella flat. The suspension on the car is so much tighter than before it's awesome. before I felt like the car was overpowering the suspension, but now i definitely need more minor HP adding mods like CAI and exhaust
lol...just wash your car at home damn it. or take it to those places where you can just wash your car with the presure washer.
yeah yeah.. i cant wash it at home and those pressure wash places kinda suck lol.. but stil it is a lame excuse not to install it hehe
if u take it to a detail shop,there able to wash ur car by hand.

bizzidy bumping this thread.. it took a little bit longer than I was hoping but I've got some sway bars on the way
just placed an order with summit racing for an ST front swaybar $130 shipped. They're out of stock but should be back in by next month according to their site.
I also ordered a Vigor rear sway bar off of Estimated Prophet for $60 shipped
something interesting ive though about though.. it seems like an even better upgrade for a rear bar besides vigor or ST for 3geez would be an ST or other bar for a 4th gen, since apparently 4th gen bars fit our cars as well. Maybe if the vigor bar isn't good enough I'll try that.
i've also got a set of prelude adjustable front control arms which i'll eventually install. I'm actually thinking of rebuilding the whole front suspension, replacing all of the bushings and ball joints and whatnot.
good luck and have fun,just got mine finished,the steering rack was the last part,even though the new steering rack leaks like a sob,i'll finish it later. i went to the extreme,media blasting and paining all the stripped parts. i replaced every part on the front, put new upper arms on the back,as well as installed that sway bar. best suggestion,go to a yard,get someone to sell you an entire front end for cheap, then rebuild it piece by piece off the car. when you are done,swap everything and get your alignment fixed. it's much eaisier then swapping part after part. it's quite a job,getting stuff like the wheel bearings out and the control arm bushings is a pain in the ass. try to go with moog as much as possible, and replace the wheel studs with Arp. good time to overhaul your brakes too. i replaced everything including calipers,discs,and new hoses. there are pictures on my site i believe of the suspension work,or at least some of it.bizzidy bumping this thread.. it took a little bit longer than I was hoping but I've got some sway bars on the way
