Thanks guys! The spikes are a hate it or love it thing. They will start popping up more and more because we can barely keep them in stock.

I used an All In Fabrications radiator. They are available at allinfab.com. My boy Ryan at Rywire sells a nice one as well. Check it out http://www.rywire.com/catalog/produc...products_id=15

As far as the booster-less part. Ive read good/bad things.. if i dont like it i'll just bend some new brake lines and move bulkhead and put the booster back in. gonna try it for now.

To all the guys replacing the seam sealer with weld, is this a good idea? I read somewhere that its not, something to do with warping, but Im not sure.
downstarinc, i emailed you regarding the brake booster delete kit and whether it will fit an accord and never heard back

There are many ways you can do it. What we did was sort of make a table top shape with strips of metal and weld them all together. It is hard to explain but the main objective it to either reinforce where the uca hit. Try googling for pics.

Go back in the pages and look around, there was an orange intregra that had redone his shock towers, his name on here is xtremeness, Im pretty sure. I know him personally, just dont have any pictures on hand. You may have to go back a good amount, I didnt see it on front page. Good luck man.

Yes, it is most def. my daily. It has been a budget build, and 95% of the car is spare parts from my 5year project hatch.

I'm actually looking a Tilton or similar set up for my DSM. I figure if I'm gonna do it I might as well over do it lol

Do the math and figure out if your pedal will be too difficult to press down...

There are a lot of older cars that are MUCH heavier that didnt have the extra help and they stopped just fine. I think it's kind of like power windows/locks. You dont NEED them, they are just nice to have. Like i said, if i dont like how it drives, i have a booster/master and it'd be easy enough to swap.

Do people not realize there is a "search this thread" feature at the top of every page?

But I tend to look a bit harder before making a post/asking questions.
