In the U.S. technically speaking the JDM lights are illegal due to not having reflectors in them, the extra piece of red on the USDM tail lights act as a reflector from the side of the car.

I lurk daily but didn't think I actually posted that much around here. As for the last few pages, what the hell is going on!?!? I step out for a few days for work and to get some wrenching done on the sedan and this is what I come back to?

Some people on that counter I haven't seen on here in some time..

Im game.. VIR is probably the shortest travel out of all the places to pick from, but thats kinda far for the CA guys!
WMHM may be the most centrally located for everyone. Were all spread out.. and do we all plan to bring our EF's?!

Been running OEM for 5 years now and you know I track. However, when it comes time for replacement I will go with the PCI spherical bushings.

Whom of you guys run 16's? Thinking about running some 16x8's +20ish probably with some 205's... Comments and suggestions? I will be running the OEM 11" front brakes which will clear my 92's with spacers, but I want some 16's I think, most def. want to run a wider tire. Anyone running 215's?

well Boosted said he paid $37 each which is basically the same price as the Hard Race bushings (well since they're on sale) and i'm thinking those may be a better choice

i changed my RTA bushings from OEM w/o rips (they had started to rip again after about 60 days on track) to Sphericals.

HOLY CRAP I LOVE THEM.

the car felt planted and smooth. never once popped out on me, and i had even put a bigger swaybar on it at the beginning of a year...haha

WMHM12 (west michigan honda meet) has its date locked in for next year already....

its worth the drive, we've had so much fun for so many years, i'd love for more EF discussion buddies to come. we've had people come from EVERYWHERE too.

i have seen 16x8 with a +10 offset with 205-45-16's work and look good with minor camber up front. 215's and your pushing it though obviously you need your fenders rolled.

FYI I've read that the OEMS are the same as mugen now, that basically a service bulletin went out a few years back stating how the old oem where garbage.

Red,

This is what i need to hear, I have been wanting to add my ST rear sway but been too scared due to the looseness of the *** with my old bushing. I did change mine to new OEMS, but haven't driven the car yet so I cannot comment.

Ordered my a voltmeter gauge the same day my girls alternator fails lol. Im also still waiting on one trans part to button her back together, hopefully xmas day the motor will be going back in.

Kinda thinking about getting some small spacers for them. Since I have the WW body kit, it makes wheels look thinner since the body looks lager. Maybe something very small like 5mm spacers, dont think I need extended threads do I?
