Default pics of my new upgrade!

Here is my Z10 kit. So far I completely enjoy it made the car easier to drive. When changing lanes going over reflectors you can feel them, but the steering wheel doesn't react in a negative way it just sits there as if nothing happened. Same goes for other road imperfections bumps, seams, carved in drainage lines. I haven't had to much time to play with launching yet, but between shifts it feels like there is less lag time.

How does it feel while cornering, or the initial turn in?

I like it, but I wonder if my IC pipping would fit. That would suck if I cant use that.

Is there a supplier in Canada on the east coast? If not is there a U.S eastcoast supplier? This wheel hop thing is a royal pain in the #ss..

Any suppliers on the net?

It basically eliminates deflection of the lower control arms which contributes to wheel hop. It makes going over bumps much more controllable and initial turnin and lane cahnges more responsive. It also changes the caster slightly which gives you a heavier steering feel which is nice! At high speeds the car feels like it is going slower than it really is much more stable. Around long high speed sweepers it feels more predictable. All this and the kit was designed to eliminate wheel hop to better your 60' time(which I haven't tested yet)

Oh yeah that BUD box in the back held 6-60oz bottle/pitchers. They look exactly like 12oz bottles only a hell of a lot bigger your supposed to fill them up with beer and go around and fill up peoples glasses with them (i.e. the pitcher part of the equation) but we are just gonna take them to keggers and drink out of them! =60ozs

How much are they. Do they have any negative sides?
Like acceleration, nimbleness...etc?

Default impressions

as one of if not the first to be running the radius arms here is my impression
it fits 5th and 6th gen civics and 94-01 integras
playing with preload will eliminate any and all wheelhop and it keeps the front end planted very well
2.0-2.2 60 foots on advans
but i dont really drag race much
on the circuits it keeps the front end very stable and the inner wheel never spins at all
i just have to inspect them from hitting the curbing in the chicanes at well over 100mph
its almost transparent and i dont feel any difference other than better traction
just align the car after
as for the caster change make sure they are equal or it may pull one way or the other
it works!!!
