Thanks for looking at this thread and I apologize for not being very active over here. I am starting to get more in-depth with the 3Geez crowd on Facebook and I am planning on making some really cool parts right away.
First of all I am going to start with Extended Top-Hats. These ones will be CNC machined from 6061 Aluminum, and will allow for 1" of total extra travel. By allowing this extra shock travel, the internal assembly will have more time to set-up, which will help prevent bottoming, something that anyone who is lowered 2" or more knows it is quite a problem. These a simple functionable solution to a common problem. The ones I am making will allow the use of stock or upgraded bushings like Energy. Prices will be $150 shipped if we can get 5 purchasers, or $135 if we can get 10 sets sold. So far we have 4 people signed up. They will also include new hardware for mounting, with extended studs for strut bar attachment.

Here is a good photo of the ones I already make for the civic/crx and integras. These ones are laser cut, with in-house made bushings. I would prefer to make the full aluminum ones for the 3geez.
Then I rendered the rears out a full piece of aluminum, sadly these are a little more expensive at nearly $180 a set so I am looking at making an alternative set, likely like the picture above, but a sandwich style plate that would bolt between the stock mount and the tower to allow for 1+ inch of extra travel.
Here is the render for the full one:
Here is the render for the sandwich plates. Not as impressive but much cheaper.
