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.

Washed it for Caffeine & Octane tomorrow. Then went to the P.O. to pick up some parts I ordered.

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? |

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.
