LOL @ pic
I think its the bounce. I have already raised it 5mm total. 2mm on Sat and 3mm on Sun. Wished I had a torque gun. Arms were pumpin afterwards.
Any higher and ill be fisting the wheelgap. Surely those people with same set up (not low) would occasionally rub the outer edge on uneven roads. Unless they have it on ultra stiff.
Camber arm, ill look into that.

I used to have HKS Hypermax coilovers 6:5 rates. 17x8+32 & 17x9+38
Wheels and I never rubbed. Part from my plastic liner on the inner wall on the
passenger side but that was easy to fix with a little blade.

6:5 springs are pretty soft even on max damper. Try put your damper on max.

its only rubbing once in a while. my dampening is only 10/40. Ill raise it between 15-20 tomorrow for a trial run. Don't really like the ride over 20.

And.... from what many people on the forums suggest, a rear sway bar, I'm going to go conservative and get a 19mm Ultra racing RSB. I shouldn't need to replace any stock parts for this RSB would I? I did some research and saw JohnnyFD having his RSB break, something I rather avoid!

Do I need these end links? with the RSB?

PS: Spent the whole night reading this thread =[ make me want to keep buying... fml.

From my research too, No need to replace endlinks unless you plan on tracking it for the 19mm UR RSB.
BTW, I got the 19mm UR RSB too. The fitment of the bar over the endlink bolt isn't big enough on our AUDM Civic FD's. I had to go to an engineering company and get them to measure and drill a bigger hole for the RSB. cost me like $20.
So heads up on that.

If you didn't have a drill you should have sent me a PM man, I could have re-drilled the hole for you for free.

Just quick question guys, Does anyone know if the preface lift tail lights ( the more circular ones ) can be replaced by the facelift 09+ tail lights?
