Is this an athentic mugen bumper?

 

why the red eg is using ek subframe and lca?

 

 

hard to say unless you have the bumper off for the stamp.

Some of the fakes don't have the the extended underside with the hole like the real one.

 

 

Stock DC/EG:



Stock EM1/EK9:



EDIT: You can see that it's just the EK9 arms on the EG subframe. This is exactly what I'm doing on my Integra coincidentally.

 

thanks

 

4 lbs? is it really worth it?

 

Teh Mugen is not for everyone.

 

Not for me. Im not wasting money on 4 lbs and +more money than it is really going to matter

 

4lbs might only be 4lbs but for that component it's 25% of it's weight. Think how fast your car would be if you could shed 25% of its weight without compromise. Think about how much more effective your brakes would be if your car lost 600lbs.


That's the Japanese tuning method. Spoon calls it their 1/100th theory.

 

Thats if your able to take 25% off all the parts its just not worth it if your doing 1 or 2 parts maybe if your doing all of it but, not for me

 

1/1000th theory. Pretty cool stuff though. Here's the summary from the 2008 Spoon brochure:

 

food for thought

 

Obviously so. I've been able to shave 25% of the weight of the front arms, almost 20% off the rear arm, 25% of the chassis/cabin harness, etc. It's a total tuning theory. You don't treat each item as an individual and stop there. You apply the theory to the entire car or it's mostly for naught.

Case in point, here are the rear arms:





Thanks for the correction!

 

ill put it in honda-tech understandable terminology.

the easiest way to lose a pound is to find 16 ways to lose an ounce.

 

The way spoon says it I'll buy all there parts if there lighter thanks.

 

back to mugen please

 

 

EK rear LCAs are pretty hilarious. rather than make a right and a left, they just make rights, and flip the left around backwards. i know reading this on a forum, it makes no sense whatsoever, but if you have an EK, jack the *** up and go look under it. its the same LCA, one side is flipped. LOL
