5e colin Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 sweet work jamie hey you might need subframe alignment pins to re install the frame ?? im not 100% on that the civic uses them or not but plenty cars do so do some research on that before the subframe is out of alignment and causes plenty of issues handling wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 good choice on the bay! How come you went for the itr master cyclinder i thought they were 1" same as the ek9? I like those rear chassis leg braces on the ek9. Honda went mental on bracing for these cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like those rear chassis leg braces on the ek9. Honda went mental on bracing for these cars. Was a wise choice mate i think glad i put it back to white When you go to bigger caliper that uses a larger piston, you are pushing more fluid through the brake lines. Therefore, you should want a larger master cylinder to push this more fluid Thanks mate they look awesome in person haha they did go crazy with the bracing didn't they You can get them for DC2 aswell pal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
