lol good observation. I rotated the tyres left to right instead of front to back, but then realised my mistake and changed it back :)

lol good observation. I rotated the tyres left to right instead of front to back, but then realised my mistake and changed it back :)
While everyone was at iQon today, I got some good work done on the beast, with the help of a few mates :) Installed the Goodridge braided brake lines, bled the fluid and replaced with some new Motul RBF 600, installed new Acre front pads, and while I was at it, installed the rear camber arms (easiest job I've ever done).

The fitment was actually really good! The brackets and everything lined up perfect, length was perfect, so very happy with them so far. They even came with a full set of new replacement bolts and washers! Now to see how they perform...

There was all kinds of webs and spider eggs and shit on the old one. Pretty much a new civilisation growing in this bitch!

Now just need to install the fronts and get a wheel alignment.
On the rear left one (pictured above) I found the previous owner had put two washers behind each bolt. wtf... But then when I put the car back down on the ground I noticed why. The rear left wheel for some reason has way more neg camber than the right! Looks ridiculous. But I've got adjustable now so can easily fix that. I'll let the wheel shop worry about it :)
Yeah that washer trick is a cheap bandaid solution for the rear camber,not bad as long as you have enough thread
yeah seems a bit dodgy ay. Although it was only on the rear left, not the right. Is this normal?
Come to think of it, I have seen a few civics before where the rear left wheel looks more cambered than the right... hmmm
possibly bent arms?
fark nice 1/4mile time any dyno runs yet
Got a package in the mail today :D best feeling!

These things are gonna be so easy to install! The only bit that requires any thought is connecting the power wires

are them slotted rotars on the right way,? what way are the vains facing towards the caliper?
No, na-118 is quite right. We did put them on the wrong way. I'm going to swap them over next time I feel like working on the car lol
