Re: (Boosted Chemist)
I think DA brakes will fit behind your stock wheels. Didn't the DA come stock with 14's? Otherwise just get some good slotted or drilled rotors and better pads. It's not a heavy car, so it won't take much to upgrade.

Re: (Boosted Chemist)
I don't think the LED is ghetto. If you spend $400 or whatever on the Chargespeed/Js, it's awfully difficult to spend another $200-$300 on the SiR wing. Especially since the only logic for it is the length of the third brake light.

Dude, it's a fiberglass wing being attached with rivets or double sided tape. Fitment is not going to be great either way.
In all honesty, I was disgusted with the quality of the Js wing when it arrived. It seemed more like a $100 wing than a $400 wing. I would never buy it again. Looks good on, but low quality for sure.
*gasp!*

Yeah, EX brakes, and good pads and rotors, with HX wheels FTW. You do have to grind the caliper bracket slightly though. I wish I still had that setup. I love the 11.1" brakes on my KRX, but it does limit your wheel choices.

Mugen is the only company that makes high quality parts, of equal or better quality than stock. That Gabef8 guy's car is awesome, but he had a ton of fitment issues. Now that they are fixed it is gonna be awesome, but I would rather the parts fit good to start with.

That is certainly one of the benefits of having access to the actual Honda facilities, parts, blue prints, etc. Mugen may be ridiculously priced, but atleast it's a quality product.

gabeef8's being parted out
As for aftermarket part quality i always assume the worst and that fab is going to be involved to "make it work"... I cant speak for every company but Things never fit well...

Does anyone have any or know of any lowering springs for sale?
I need to fix my axle so I'm going to lower it on some springs while I have it up on the jack stands.

Any of you guys need a steering rack from a 90 std. hatch? It's the one you need if you use the quaiffe quick ratio rack. Otherwise it's going out in the garbage.
