just read all 54 pages.
1. my 1st honda was a MR gsr so this is close to my heart. GREAT BUILD.
2. Did you buy the EK harness grommet new? or did it come off a used harness. I tried to buy it new but the grommet comes on the harness, so all i recieved was the plate. Just wondering.
thanks in advance,
keep up the good work

Black POR15. You can get it at NAPA I think, I got mine at a autobody supplies store in my area.
Thanks man
I have a nylon washer along with a stainless washer then the nut on top of that. Didn't want to chew right into the fresh paint.
Thanks fellas

Got some more work done on the suspension today. Bro-in-law was nice enough to give me a hand, thanks again Jack
Back to the rear trailing arm bushings..
Got trailing arms pressed back in, bushing tool was a HUGE help, thanks again Yee!
Had to lube the bushing mounts up before putting them in
Using P.N.9.11109
Went in nice and smooth, then got the toe link with new PIC bushings installed
Installed
(don't mind the stock upper control arm waiting on my rear camber kit to get here)
Now that all that was up I tossed the rotors on
Front
Rear
Was so excited to see pretty much all the suspension up I had to toss the NT03's up for a preview
Still need to get some tires, but am havin a tough time deciding on size
Didn't know how the wheels were gonna look on the car, but I'm pretty happy with them so far. Plus I got them for such a good deal I'm definitely gonna hold out and see how they look with tires
Next up is cleaning the e-brake cables, getting the calipers/pads on then hooking them up to the new lines

Looking good bro! What size are the wheels? Im assuming 16x7? In which case a 215/45/16 would be a good tire size.

Ohh dont forget to compress your suspension before tightening any bolt that goes through a pivot bushing. Too many people tighten them at full droop and end up with torn out bushings.

Doing work Coop! The suspension components turned out so well, totally worth it in the long run. I think those wheels will end up looking excellent.
Now let me get my Rotary on that thing to get the OEM paint flawless.

Well I hate to see poly RTA bushings going in, but otherwise pretty sick progress on the build.

Thanks for the words homie
Thanks man, I was skeptical about them at first, but I think they are gonna look mean on the ground. Still unsure of tires most likely BFGoodrich TA KDWs, Bridgestone RE01s or Direzza Star Specs
I don't know him personally yet, got to know him online, but he was nice enough to let me borrow his RTA tool without even meeting me. Real good dude IMO
