Re: 91 DA9 build thread
nothing really specail for suspension just some new aftermarket struts either tokicos or some KYB's and a camber kit and new bushings it gonna be a very clean daily driver when i threw. just ordered new accel wires gonna oreder black carpet and some of the NRG floor mats i really like the way they look maybe a nice rear tow hook since honda theft here is very rare. And i dont live in the city limits and the car stays in the garage anyway

Re: 91 DA9 build thread
nice build ya got goin, always good to see another g2 getting resurected.Im currently in the same process.
those mount are nice, i had them in my stock 91 and it made a great diffrence felt nice and solid.. little vibration but nothing not worth it. g/l on the build check me out.. project old skool
Oh...she's hella clean too.. i love stock look with little add on's. headlight look great too.
i feel you on the 92-93 bumpers.. my old 92 gs-r bumbers with a carbon fiber lip was just sex on wheels.lol
but Im currently building a 91 and if its not a bumper conversion.. buddy club make a real sick lip for the 90-91 bumper, pretty sure its still in production.
IMO the oem stock lip or the thin carbon fiber lip are the only other good lookin ones for out bumpers.. but cant forget about the Mugen bumper cover replicas.. they look so good IMO.. anyway good luck brotha

Re: 91 DA9 build thread
I never said I wanted power locks that would be wasted on a 2 door all I wanted was the windows asn the sunroof. I've never heard of a gs with manual windows although I've seen ls four doors without sunroofs. I really just didn't want abs....

Re: 91 DA9 build thread
