Hey mooshie, since i moved house a few times i actually couldn't find the stickers anymore i'll let u know if they pop up tho SORRY

[mooshie]

All good, TBH I had actually forgotten all about it! Would be keen to get a couple if you do come across them again though.

91type-r can you post a link to the shop you used? I am looking at re doing my suspension at the moment and would be keen to know of another resource.

anyone wanna do a ls vtec?

I'd be interested in this if I hadn't just bought brand new aftermarket exhaust pipe + intermediatary pipe and auto->manual conversion kit for mine

Researching B18C into a da. If you use the s80 gearbox, what axles would you use if you were also converting the brakes to the 5 stud Type R brakes? Type R axles?
might be a stupid question, cheers anyway

hey do any of you fellow DA9ers know how to adjust the headlights vertically? due to how low my car is i dont get much distance from them as they are pointing lower than most cars.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ben, you would need to run the larger post '98 axles (36mm not 32mm).

Careful when you go converting the hubs on the DA as it is not simply a bolt on affair unless you are happy to run silly +ve camber. to do it properly you should get the hubs from the DC machined to fit the DA knuckle and not just swap the whole knuckle over. really good guide here- http://technet.ff-squad.com/how-to/5lug.ef-da/ most people prefer to just get the caliper machined and predule disks re drilled to 4x100 for about a third of the cost.

if you have a look at one of my old thread on my car you'll find some details on the dc2r 5 stud conversion.
my recommendation, don't do it unless you plan do it it properly which is a lot of work.

as mooshie said..if you do it the lazy way ( like me rushing it for the track) u'll get stupid +ve camber
