Default Axle geometry help for all my H22 Hatch Buddies.

Don't know if this has been covered before, I didn't really see alot of answers on my search, just alot of "yeah we know the axle geometry sucks with the H22 EG,EK swaps".

Well this is what I did to help that, very simple solution, probably common knowledge but if one person reads this and doesn't know than cool. I just had my fab shop make a High quality billet shim, and is the same exact size as the the base on my rear motor mount that mounts to the subframe, you may need longer grade 8 bolts. I shimmed up the rear of the motor, brings the back of the motor up, and that brings the bottom of the motor back, helping tremendously with the axle angle that I had, the axles are almost straight now. Anyway this is simple fix, that is cheap, and will definately prolong the life of the axles. Those of us that kicked down our hard earned cash to get the good stuff, to make them last as long as possible,This is very important.

Hope this helps someone.

I'll post up pics as soon as I can, I'm at work right now.
But in the mean time you can use this pic. in this post by djroven who seems to have the same issue that I had https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1946076 to get a good idea of the angle that i'm talking about, you can see that by bringing the motor back, that this would straighten out this angle, to prolong the life of the axle, by it not binding so much. again, I'll post some pics of my shim and my current axle geometry tonight.

I bought Hasport Mounts, and Hasport Axles. That's why it was so important to make this work a little better, Because we all know how freakin expensive this stuff is.
