Default Finished my rear suspension... almost done with the car.

**Edit*** I added a bunch of general pics from all of the requests. Enjoy!

Finished up the rear suspension. Had the rear trailing arms (type R) powder coated to match the front suspension. Finally got my custom Panasport C-8 3 piece wheels from Japan - man that took forever. Here's the list.

ITR rear trailing arms powder coated sparkle silver
King Motorsports "Super" rear wheel bearings
King Motorsports Rear Camber Kit
Mugen Trailing Arm Bushings
Mugen Compensator Bushings
ASR Subframe Brace (had it polished for super bling factor)
Function 7 Type R Rear Lower Arms
Mugen N1 Shocks with Swift Springs
Panasport C8 3-Piece Modular Wheels 15x7 rollin on 225/45 Hankooks

Enjoy!

32mm? You'll be oversteering in a straightline! That's going to be nuts.

Actually with 225's in the rear I have to run some negative camber = grip... I'll need the 32mm to loosen it back up again.

In reality I never drive this car so it doesn't really matter!

You bought $400.00 worth of re-manned/finished/greased OEM Honda rear wheel bearings? Man, you must love your car! Nice setup though. I'd hit it.

Not exactly... I'm the Director of Sales/Marketing at King Motorsports and selling our superfinished bearings was an idea I had so I would call mine the prototypes
