I agree

H&R Race is the best spring I've seen/felt, hands down. And for non auto-x'ers the Si 13mm rear sway is adequate.

Honestly unless you drive like a bat outta hell or plan to auto-x, the required ASR brace for use w/ CTR 22mm & ITR 23mm bars (or else it would crack the subframe) will not be worth the money.

Also type R strut bars are just bling...pw:jdm bars get the job done.

it helps spread out the stress on the subframe I believe. ASR is just the name, that is what I hope to get soon.

I voted nine78guy (registered just for that)

ASR stands for A Spec Racing, and its purpose is to reinforce / distribute chassis stress as I said before and was mentioned above

I will attempt some auto-x'ing this season, here's my setup:

-H&R Race (2.75F, 2.5R) - $120
-KYB AGX (Adjustible gas struts) - $280
-PW:JDM rear upper strut bar - $80
-PW:JDM front upper strut bar - $200 (need to buy)
-ASR subframe brace & 23MM ITR sway bar - $300 (need to buy)

I also have a rear lower tie bar (real Spoon) for sale...$100 shipped brand new.

the Kumhos and the Falkens are both good autocross/street tires. From what I've heard, the Falkens aren't great in the rain at highway speeds.

#156 update...

so i'm walkin out of the market yesterday and i see that my PASSENGER SIDESKIRT IS MISSING.

i dont know when it dissapeared or if it was stolen...but all i know is that THIS ****** SUCKS. i dont know what the expletive i did to deserve this, but i just dropped money last week on a new alarm, now another thing to fix/replace. i'm so frustrated right now.

now i need 1 sideskirt. i think i just may pick one up from honda. they quoted $169.

That's what I have and they are pretty good, I haven't had anything else except my stock bald tires which would loose traction when it was dry but my new falkens are awesome. I haven't beat on it in the rain till yesterday and it handled a lot better than I thought for being so wet out. I could feel them start to want to slide but they never broke loose on me even when I took a Sharp exit ramp at about 60 in the rain. I would recommend them they have some ware on them now but when I first got them I couldn't take a turn fast enough around town to get them to slide.


Why would someone steel one sideskirt People suck.
Sorry dude, thats a lot of money for one.

Check out Kumho SPT's. Awesome for daily driving and plenty of performance for the occasional autocross. They were cheap too from tirerack.

I would go with the Falkens for auto-x use, but their wear ratings are not cut out for daily driving. You'll replace them every year.

I had Azenis 215's for auto-x and the SPT's for daily driving.
