I'm going to throw my street pads back in to drive the car to SF and doing so cause the fluid level to rise substantially because the pads have way more meat than my track pads.

In other words, when I hit the track and the fluid is full, I have to empty some of it to put my street pads in.

nick are you still using the RRG air dam to go with your new splitter, or are you gonna make a custom one? And another thing, are those brackets the only support?

I'm going to use the RRG on the bumper you see (my nice bumper), but I'm building a whole ABS plastic lip for my track bumper.

As for supports, no, those aren't the only ones, however, as it sits my girlfriend can stand on it and it holds her fine. I don't have the ***** to stand on it. I should get a picture of her standing on it next time.

I have splitter support rods, so those should be added insurance since the plywood is known to bend at 110mph +

THIS JUST IN: ASR brace and sway bar install pics coming soon

Rear Trailing Arm bushing on the drivers side is shot on mine as well, gives it a gangsta lean. Gonna have to replace before the 15x8's and All-Terrains but would like to pick up the rear disc first..... one shot, one kill.

mine are shot as well on the 4dr....id like to get it where i could align it. prolly needs front end work too. At least when i do the traction bar on the hatch i can use the crossmember on the 4dr.

i was running stocker replacements, that were like, 10 years old. no cracks at the begining of the year last year, and on my last track day, the both cracked on top, and the car was stepping out oddly.

i've already got spherical LCA bearings instead of bushings, and i think i;m just going to get the blox or PCI ones. easier to install too.

Anyone know anything about what happened to Majestic Honda. I havent been able to use their website for a while now. Any other suggestions on where to order parts from? I may have asked this before but I need to make an order and really dont know of a good place like Majestic was.

I order from majestic quite a bit. However, my local dealer will price match if I bring in the page with the Part # and their price.

Almost there. Need to trim down the splitter blade a bit (too big), sand and paint...
I love this.. those are some de-bo brackets... i dont think i could mount something like that with the full race traction bar, schucks. nice work!
