I like that RED theme already going on stock!


Had signed on 18 of March, was already on next order in from my dealer at the time. I wanted delivery only after the 10th of April because our roads & winter drivers suck. There was an '18 Red available at another dealer in January at the time in the showroom but I passed over even if that deal got really tempting with their offers.


My last RED car (89 Civic SI)was a vehicle owners nightmare that I kept 12 yrs Vandalized every other week, Major Rear ender by a truck, Stolen recovered X2. Learnt about how to start cars with no keys... Master relay issues...

Last week. SPL subframe mounts. Swapped out my Flex Z's for RCE T2's. Cusco diff brace. Front lower control arm bushings. WL bump steer and roll center correction kit. Swapped front sway bar end links from Perrin to WL. The Perrin's are wider where they mount to the strut and where hitting the inside of the tub.






Today. Installing bluemoon baffle and killer B pickup in the spare motor. Going to try to get it swapped this weekend.

What do you think of these? I like the adjustability. I'm unsure if it's needed though lol

It makes the rear of the car extremely solid feeling. It also makes drivetrain noise much louder. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I think it may be a bit overkill and just stiffer bushings would have been a better option for a car like mine which still sees most of it's time on the street.

The adjustability is a nice option but I ended up sticking with OEM height. Per their instructions raising the subframe in the chassis will reduce traction on corner exit.

I have the Whitline inserts installed and while nice the ass end still feels a bit "Squishy"



Did you use the rubber pieces top and bottom?

That's good to know about the WL inserts. To me it's not intolerable, to non car people the amount of drivetrain noise makes the car sound broken. I actually kind of like the gear whine. I used the rubber piece on top only. My kit came with only 4.

I already had a diff brace, stiffer motor mounts, trans mount insert, and diff bushings and this also made the shifter feel much more solid too.

I have the WL diff inserts too and get a bit of gear whine. I like it and am planning on doing the SPL's lol


If you get tired of them we can swap + cash on my end
