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

I think if you have the front upgraded you will understeer more
Better to put one in the rear, And make the car over steer a little.

Not 100% sure though. Correct me if im wrong..

Hey guys, finally got some new wheels on my FD!
To do (eventually!):
Side skirts
Type r rear bumper
Js racing exhaust
Js Racing lip & intake ducts
Mugen Type R grille
Rear camber arms

Any thoughts? still deciding on Mugen side skirts or Type R side skirts to go with a js racing lip. Dont really like my red wheel nuts. Any suggestions?

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.
PS:Black8thgen, this is from your time. lol
