Default Ordered dealer parts today!! New suspension and tires here I come!!!

So I ordered the new front upper spring retainers from the stealership today... Everything totalled about 76 bucks for both sides, will be here friday. I need these parts to install my new springs!

Hopefully next week I am installing my B-G Suspension sport springs. Pretty decent stuff not complete top of the line but I wouldn't say at the bottom either. My friend uses them on his autocross Mazda MX3 race car (JDM 2.5 V6, came stock with a 1.8 V6, yes that's right!!! 1.8 V6!!!) and he has no problem taking first in his class all the time. I know that is more driver skill but they have held up to his abuse.

After new springs are finished I am installing my set of Bridgestone Potenza RE910s... They are 205 / 50/ 15s and going on stock tires. Little less sidewall and a little more surface area...

AND THEN... After that I am getting a new alignment and good to go!!!!

I will probably take pictures of the processes I am going through... Rear springs are already in but maybe I will do a write up on the fronts and post a few pics of me at an upcoming auto cross event!

How come what? How come I need to have those parts? It is because some of the parts were worn out on my EP3 and I wanna have the suspension in tip top shape. The strut mount bushing was kind of torn up and stuff.

hondapartsdeals.com

check those sites first? Probably cheaper than going to a dealer.

I checked out majestic honda... With shipping it would have been ten bucks cheaper than everything at the dealer, but I need them this weekend and I don't think Majestic honda could have shipped them to me in two days.

On the other hand, there stuff is REALLY cheap though!
