Yeah could just be a wrong/default pic.

I've tried

ASR -$350 pair
D2 - $165-200 each
Silvers $250 pair

Trying to not waste money since I wanna sell.

What did you need them for? if you dont mind me asking

I'm using stock one's (since my Cusco's don't come with the top plates) and on the drivers side the mount has been loose and is partially separated. I think this is because I installed it with the bolts in the wrong holes at one point. I corrected it but since I'm anal like that I want to replace it - preferably with aftermarket camber adjustable (since they're cooler)

If you get the grille, get the genuine mugen one as its more square and matches the OEM front bumper, most of the replicas I've seen are rounded and really don't look as good.

if your car is low, chances are no one can see it unless theyre far behind you, and chances are, well... it is certain that you'll never see it unless you purposely look underneath haha. I reckon, if you're going to do anything underneath the car, make sure it actually assists with the handling of the car in a significant manner (ie, NOT a beaks tie bar which does next to nothing in increasing rigidity)

do some thinking nad try to understand what each part does as well as whether or not you truly want it

P.S. Sorry if i keep asking and saying dumb things. Im still learning about about the car

black8thgen
30-04-2013, 11:52 PM
ultra racing front strut i had was okay - but tbh you feel the most difference with a sway bar (well i did anyway - and i had rear under brace and front under brace as well). All my stuff was from ultra racing btw. Also, the front strut for the civic goes under the black plastic covering that is just beneath where the wind shield wipers sit. Keep in mind that stiffening up the rear more than the front will generally (I believe) induce better turn-in.

But when doing all of these suspension mods - learn from my mistakes and do them one by one, i did things two at a time and couldn't really appreciate or feel the difference each part made on the handling dynamics of the car.

I know there's some bad reviews out there for ultra racing but they were good to me. Shift performance is an authorised distributor i believe (well they were back a couple years anyway). However.. just saw you're in melb... not sure who in melb locally will be able to get UR stuff in but im sure there will be heaps!

Black8gen is on the money ! front strut bar for the fd's is only bling, our strut tower is closer to the firewall than most cars and already offer enough rigidity. The rear sway bar is by far the best mod which will result in a shit load less body roll during cornering. It also aids braking and also acceleration. In the wet it allow more of your tyres to contact the road. Cusco make a great rear bar.

underbody bracing I wouldnt recommend unless you want to go hard at the race track. the FD has a fairly large light weight body and both front and rear bracing do help some of the twisting force generated at the track. If your car is lowered, on the street they scrap and bang getting out of Westfield's and everywhere else you'll need to slow right down at speed humps.

Spend the money and buy the front and rear sway bar pack (Cusco front and rear sway bars + Hardrace endlinks) that's up for sale here from EGB.

That's top quality brands for something that will transform the way your car corners.

Yep! the gear from EGB is quality shit. All you'll need. Also, Stevil is correct - under body bracing is not as effective In terms of bang for buck for our FDs as compared to sway bars. And yeah when I had them on I was like sea-sawing over big bumps and Westfield ramps lol it's ridiculous I do not recommend it if you're low

I just saw his ad and im SO tempted to buy it all haha
But the sway bars are going have to wait. As i am a full time student and not a very good income. On top of that
my Mid year school fees are coming in a few months and its going to cost me an arm and a leg.

Does the corsport rear brace help? I think I'll get that first and then the sway bars after my school fees.
Not a big fan of the V strut brace. I dont mind if people cant see the one that goes stright over or not.

black8thgen
01-05-2013, 05:17 PM
The rear brace will help a little but again, probably better to save that money towards sway bar funds. Just more worth it. And the front strut you don't really need at all is what Stevil was probably trying to get at. It barely adds any rigidity to the front end based on the design of the FD chassis.

Also... I feel ur full time student pain hahha sucks hey have to put off car parts for uni :(

I know Cusco is a reputable brand. But recommend Ultra Racing?

For a 25mm Front sway bar + 19mm Rear sway bar = just under $600 inc shipping. Might get this over new rims for now.

Nicee thanks for the links. The Ultra race sway bars are $290, im guessing the front will be similar price. might aswell get EG8's one.
His one has HardRace endlinks aswell. Might aswell help out a fellow OzHonda Member

Righto from memory the stock RSB was only 11 or 12mm, its almost useless ! At the time I couldnt afford a cusco rear bar so I went and got a custom solid 18mm rear bar made up ($200 fitted), and it should always be the first bar you do, as it gives the most benefit. I run a cusco 29mm bar up front and the two upgraded bars together work well. Upgraded endlinks are a bonus and if I'd was in need of bars I throw EGB an offer.

I've driven on the racetrack with the Cusco FSB on and then drove later without it and the handling diff was noticable. So fella Sway bar first, then Coilovers, then struts and then big bloody TURBO !! lol

btw, don't forget about roll coupling, the stiffer end will slide first at the limits

generally people will put a fat rear sway bar and a skinnier front one to neutralise the understeer characteristics of a stock car

Look on the US forums. Corsports (USA Seller) actually sells a metal plate that takes stress off where the RSB connects, as many people using thicker RSB were tearing the mounting on the chassis.

Also remember that a stiff rear and softer front means your car is more prone to oversteer (the ass coming out around a corner).

They're made soft as stock for a reason as understeer is safer than oversteer (in a FWD).

I've had that problem.. the cusco RSB is 23mm thick.. i hit the rear wheel on a curb turning going around 30km/h and the endlink connecting to the lower controller arm ripped off.. had to totally replace the lower controller arm as u can't weld it back.. and bought that metal plate from Corsports to reinforce it so it wont rip off again.. and better yet dont hit the curb on the rear wheels

Well, I've read in an old post that the oem endlinks wont be able to take the stress with the stiffer RSB. Thus an Aftermarket endlink is needed when upgrading the RSB.
Also, apparently the USDM Civic SI's can fit into the FD's for a reasonable price to if you can get away with cheap shipping.

get smaller size RSB.. i havent heard problems with 16/19mm

if u do get cusco, try not to hit the rear wheels hard onto curbs and such.. other option is get the metal reinforcement plates (e.g Corsports USA) that reinforce the thin metal on the lower controller arm where the endlinks connects onto from the RSB

the oem endlink itself is fine, its got a small rubber 'CV boot' what has fluid in it which makes it flexible to move

so in my case, i hit the rear wheel on the passenger side on a curb when turning left and it was pretty hard.. with that hit, the force on the left rear wheel went across the RSB and broke the metal connected to the endlink off the lower controller arm on the right hand size (driver side)... i noticed it when everytime i turned, i would hear a clunk at the rear wheels and saw that the endlink would be hitting the controller arm... and yes with the endlink not connected, i notice a difference when turning.. understeer

Yeah but because you have a clean black ride. Your wheels are the focal point, the balance between the cleanliness of the body with the semi-loud wheels is good. In my opinion, if you silver dipped the top part of the grill would make the balance perfect.

Ill skip the FSB, as I would like a tad more oversteer to balance out the steering of the front & back.

No additional support plate is required on endlink to LCA. I ran Cusco Front and Rear 28mm and 23mm sway bars for over a year including 6+ track days and is fine, No Bends, No Stress Marks - and I can assure you the car went through the paces. Only addition I had was hard race endlinks.

bigger isn't better for performance ,don't confuse that

if the left and right wheels are linked too rigidly, they don't have independance which can be harmful

I have a K&N Drop in filter for the Civic Sports 2.0L (K20Z2) and to be honest you cant really feel or hear the difference.
For $60 I'd rather buy a A3 Pod Filter (Best Air Flow Pod Filter Proven At AutoSalon. Beats K&N and other leading brands)
and do a homemade SRI. You will get a little bit of heat soak but if its only a street car you wont really know the difference.

Buy a airbox from your local wrecker and just hack it up.

EDIT: man after looking at people's FDs lately... I'm finally starting to miss mine :(. Can't stop being a fan of the fd chassis! And being in an s2k as a daily is tiring work... the car is just so raw and you feel everything through the bum.

this is the thing i love about it

and i'd never use it as a daily LOL

too much of a future classic

Nah, none in au. As curtis said. Might be some specialist stores that do that in malasia n singapore. Definately seen one in singapore. But were talking custom job level. Like red led lights in the halo projectors, which is highly illegal here. I can dig up the website wen i get back home if ur really keen. To be honest, ud better off getting a 'projector' set of lights. Theres 2 new styles n 2 older styles ive seen. Have a look at the civic fd malaysia club on facebook.

As said above, You will need JDM DC5R Brembos, Pads are same as R32/33/34 GTR brembo. S2000 300mm rotors and 3 mm spacer between rotor and hub to space rotor to centre of caliper.

700 for Caliper
200 Rotor
250 Pads
Spacer - Washers, or metal plate

Best combo you are ever gonna need.

repaint it.

the only way to match correctly is to get a computer to analyse the colour and mix

however it can still mismatch if it's badly sprayed (in the case of metallics/pearls)

No poke whatsoever, you need around +35 or less offset for it to poke i believe. As above stated spacers are a good investment. I got a set of 15mm bolt ons for sale if youre interested.

How would they fix it? Strip and repaint? Or just repaint on top, I guess I'll go ask. =/ Or hope that over time the colour will even out? ahah.

17x8 +35 will be too weak. It will look pretty shitty.

Question for you - are your guards rolled? You'll need a flat roll to get some 'flush' fitting rims.

I suggest if you want 'flush' but no hassle with guards and fender work... 17x9 and around 30 offset I reckon is where to be at.. with a 215/45 or 225/45 tyre should be okay with guards rolled flat and a touch of neg camber. Only thing with this is that not many jap rims come in that width and offset... It will mainly be like 17x9 +35 or above.

I personally would rather get the set of rims to be the specs I want, and not run spacers but heaps of ppl here have run spacers and loved it

I just calculated that offset for 17x9 +30 which equates to +40mm outward. So we have 40mm before were on the fender when not rolled?
and rolling the fenders, is it true we wont be able to clip on our wheel arches anymore? Coz we cant use the clips connecting them to the guard?

17x9 +30 will probably poke a little depending on tyre choice if you're at stock height. you need the neg camber to neatly get it tuck underneath the guards

and yeah if you roll flat on the fronts you'll have to cut the guard lining up probably. Rears will be fine

And to above^: yeah for sure.. quality over anything.. or you could just wait it out and keep saving for that perfect set of wheels.

Autotechnik in Sydney does a new set of enkeis cheaper than that. Better offsets too.

Google them. That's no tyres though.

If I were to run enkei RPF1s, theyd have to be at least 17x9 or 17x10 (like what duffy wanted to run)
215/40 tyres are the perfect tyres IMO. Have run those tyres on my last 3 setups and they work perfectly.

Anyways, everyone seems to want bags ay.. Someone buy my car :P 23k with BBS RS (less 3k for no wheels)

Approx $700 for major 2year/40k service. Leaky shocks under warranty; they had to replace brake pads and windscreen wipers.

Does that sound reasonable..?

and shark that seems awfully expensive lol

btw at Honda_FD: the enkeis you see in that pic you put up are probably at least 17x9 +45 (flat face).. the 17x8 +35 set you're looking at will have a convex face (eww).

Im picking up the wheels tomorrow but i highly doubt they're 215. They look really chunky on a 17x8 wheel.
Im planning on getting 215 IF i get those wheels

The Rims looks flat. Would 17x8+35 look similar because lower offset will pull the wheel out a little?

This is ages ago, havent put up an updated photo yet.
Its 17x7.5 +45 at fronts and 17x8 +45 at rears. I got 15mm spacers all round and the rears poke only slightly., fronts tuck just underneath the guard. Sort of get the idea.

you might have some inner clearance issues with a high offset like that on the fd

and when i say 'flat face' i mean almost concave - the spokes on the 17x8 as you see curve out but on the 17x9 such as your friend's and in the pic on the previous page, they sink inwards

Oh okay. My firend has and FD aswell and he had no problems. but his car was built for track no the wheels were poking on a good ride height.
Im going to do a little bit of camber and lower it alot on coilovers

9" with +45 will probably hit the inner walls especially if you're lowered with some neg camber

hence why i said 17x9 +35 is pretty much perfect (look for some of aero's pics) he had 17x9 +35 and it looked clean as

Currently scrubbing due to tyres 235, if I had 215 it'll stretch abit and won't hit the inside as much.

They do a valve clearance adjustment at 2year/40K service which is why it costs so much, still a ripoff though.

Judging how the rear seats look compare to the fd2r ones I got. Don't think it would fit .
