Default For your viewing pleasure ASR Subframe Kit w/ Omnipower LCAs on EK

Thought I'd post up incase some one ever wondered what it looks like. I am rather proud of how it turned out. Agressive looking, no?





Enjoy.

I bought it direct from ASR. I already had the ITR bar and endlinks etc etc. All I purchased was the Subframe Kit.

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER PEOPLE!

Well from a Stock CX suspension to this was a radical difference. It handles great, and seems to take what I can throw at it with finese. Very Neutral feeling car. I feel like I'm at the mercy of the tires though on some sharper turns.
I am going to add Ground Control Coilovers in a few days with 380F/430R rates. I'll probably turn the Koni's up a few knotches too. I think that should make some strong differences.

It would definately appear mine is upside down. *blush*

I dont suppose it could hurt anything for the time being. Probably just not as effective flipped like that.

Now who'd have figured that would have bolted up like that?

Good Call man.

because if you put it in the right sense, you will have a better swaybar/exhaust clearance!!

like i see, your exhaust is under your LCA!! so i don't think its a problem if its upside down!!

i hope ma BC pro spec and my ITR sway will match together!!!

HAHA Yeah I fixed my swaybar snafu. All better now.

Cant tell any real difference either way, but atleast I know its on right.

Yeah I test fit my rear lip when I took the pics. If you look closely on the 2nd pic you can see it in all its unfinished ABS glory.

Fits well and you were right D50boy, it really only needs about a 1/2 inch to clear my filthy muffler

And dont be jealous man, ASR will sell you one of those kits too.

i have this same setup on my integra, but i started to worry if i should swap out the omni lca in favor of skunk2 or function7, as the bushings on the skunk2 or function7 are A LOT stronger and not just rubber bushings that are found on the omnipower, megan racing, d2, ksport...etc.
just my opinion
