Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
call up ST quoted from HCW
"There have been a few people in the past posting up about the drop forks and the pro arms that Suspension techniques used to make. After much calling and whining to someone I know on the “inside” They have agreed to release what they still had in the warehouse.
According to my contact, there are currently NO plans to re release these parts after these pieces are sold. This is it.
Here is how they broke it down for me.
14 of the complete Kits part number 57300 (front drop forks rear / Rear Pro Arms) are in stock. This will lower the vehicle 1.5 inches all the way around. The rear arms also add Camber adjustment and has the mounting point for the sway bar end link. Original retail sales price was 479.00. These last pieces are selling direct for 300.00
30 sets of the drop forks are available, independent from the complete kits. Part number 57300. These will lower the front of the vehicle 1.5 inches. Orginal sales price was 183.41, and these last are selling directly for 100.00
Both the front drop forks and the rear pro arms do not effect damper travel. These items come with replacement performance urethane bushings installed. These items are non warranty, sold “as is”. The above part numbers fit 88-91 Honda Civics and 90-93 Integras. We have no R&D on the RT4WD wagon. These pieces are available only directly through ST by calling 559.875.0222.
Please don’t PM or reply to me or this post asking me about these parts. Call ST at the number above and they should be able to help you with any tech questions or to buy them. I know there are a couple of guys here who have them who may be able to answer some tech questions as well.
Post up pics if you buy them and use them. I’m on a couple of other Honda boards, but have only put this up here so far, giving the wagon guys first dibs.

Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
hell yeah. no problem us rt4wders gotta stay solid!
-update
i ordered a Es tuning muffler from weksos but it turned out to be backordered, so i think im going to search for a magnaflow oval straight muffler since they are the same but cheaper.. i foud one locally only to have it sold from under me!
- exhaust will be 2 1/4 " with a 2.5" res. glass pack to a 2 1/4" im trying to maintain alot of back pressure when i get a motor build going so it will have the torque and throttle response i want thru the turns im no scientist so any input would be good!
currently looking for a place to rent me a bushing presser/taker outer for the RTA hopefully wont b to expensive, besides that still havent gotten the window to sit properly and foglights are proving to be a bitch to mount. which means! more bonding time with my car yayyy.

Re: eklum's 91 4wd Civic wagon .
my homie that i got the fogs from didnt get the brackets for them so i had to do a little ghetto fabage.
the allignments off but hey they work and look mean
^ u can see the carriage bolt i threw in for the brackets. im going to make better brackets down the line or just reposition them when i get the time but this will do for the mean time.
tell me what u think!
