Default EK Rear disc conversion and HARDRACE content!!




you can sort of see the painted trailing arm, oem rear lca, and my cool hardrace camber adjuster!



not gonna lie, pics are kind of whack.. i just wanted to be cool and post some pics of my 'progress' and if any of you are currently installing a HARDRACE bushing kit and have any questions.. post up!

this thread would've been good in the tech or autox/road race forum but i thought it'd be best here

i freaking love it, the quality is awesome to me, i'm still waiting on the front lower control arm bushings.. my seller and I had a mis communication but i should be receiving them soon..


as for the RTA bushing, i didn't "clock it", or "take the measurement" before i pulled my trailing arms off, so with the suspension under load the bushing is wanting to twist.. so i'm gonna hope for the best and hope it doesn't tear.


the shifter bushings (not included in the master bushing kit, i had to order them separately) it's pretty much thought out from the HARDRACE factory, the round bushing that bolts to the transmission is a two piece design, not like the energy suspension 1 piece where you have to shove that big bushing through the small hole.. this installs with a breeze.. and the bushing that bolts to the bottom of the shifter is what feels like solid plastic (something i'd want in place of my shifter bushing).



any questions or comments post up!

because i don't have a cool camera or any photography skills..

and i was looking for comments with advice or any questions about anybody else deciding to grab their ***** and installing a bushing kit..


besides, shitty pics shouldn't matter. if a $1000 camera and some photo edit is needed to make your car look good than your car just plain sucks..
if you can see the beauty of a car with a cheap camera or a camera phone then you my friend have a set of eyes. and a heart for some cool parts a car might have....

I never said you have to edit your pics before posting them.. But is it really that hard to get your little sisters $100 digital camera and snap some pics worth commenting???

yeah it does, sometimes! i promised myself i'd rock the Te's once a month for a week if i don't go autox.. they have my azenis on there and my alignment used to be really bad so the tires would get ate up if i wasn't careful

and i remember that fight night.. i was outside every 20 minutes checking on my car..

are you h2ooup (SP) on ok-speed?

just got an alignment and the car rides amazing, little pot holes are pretty much amplified from before and they seem like they hurt...

but overall i'm very satisfied! if any body has any questions or any suggestions just post them up!

^^^ go for it man, it's the best quality time you can spend with your vehicle while you work on it.. literally.. and it gives you a chance to figure everything about your suspension out
