Good to hear! this is the same set-up I have lined up for my garage *****. Did you use stock knuckles and just modified brackets?

QUESTION/Need to Buy:
I am looking for a super duper cheap set of front lower control arms. I'm pretty sure they are the same from hatch to crx.. but if not crx.

.
just modded the brackets a bit. you need to grind the pads a tiny bit right along the rotor-hat, but its easy to do.

its a great little upgrade, and worlds better than even the EX setup i used to have with the same size rotors.

when the car is boosted (did most of my track events this year with an NA f23 w/ cam, no turbo) the brakes (same pads) are just barely enough...if i overuse them, it shows up fast..but i'm hitting close to 150 MPH and slowing to 60-ish, over and over (autobahn country club)

imo, if you want your car to be slammed and don't want to mess up your new set of coilovers that isn't really ment to be slammed, do it right the first time. get some H&R Ultra Low Coilovers. they'll run you about $1100
