pics of my new front suspension and brakes on my EG (pics)
EDIT: Posted updated pics at bottom of 2nd page
I am almost done with this stuff. I am prematurly posting pics just cause i am taking a break for a couple days and wanted some gratification.
the problem i am having is that somewhere in the combo of my brake kit and driveshaftshop hubs, the offset of the brake rotor is different so i had to mill a section of the fastbrakes wilwood adapter brackets to get my caliper in the correct position according to the rotor. amoung other small complications but it looks like its gonna work out mint.
the parts:
GSR LCAs, i took out the bushings, sand blasted them, coated them with engine enamel, put in ES urethane bushings.
ohlins coilovers that i bought used from a friend and cleaned up. i took the strut forks and blasted and coated them too
new honda upper a-arms, camber kit will come later
i took the spindles and pushed out the balljoints and wheel bearings, blasted and coated them, pushed in new bearings and balljoints and driveshaftshop.com hubs for my stage 3 axles (h22 swap)
the brakes are fastbrakes.com 11" with 4pot wilwoods and stainless braided lines.
not yet installed is the new tie rod ends, jimfab traction bars (i know they wont clear the oil pan, ill fix that), and 21mm sway bar with urethane bushings and ES endlinks.
i have a setup for the rear that is super and going in when i finish the front.
pics of unfinished product:
Thanks,
Charles

That looks so good, do you have pics with the wheel on? How much did it run you for the GSR LCA's and sandblasting the parts? I'm thinking about doing this to my hatch's suspension since yours looks so pretty.
