So with 246k on the clock, constant vibration and misalignment from a very tired car, I finally decided to start a significant refresh of the suspension and chassis.
Parts list:
All new OEM rear multilink arms (8 total)
Fortune Auto 500 with Swift springs (via springrates.com; 12k/9k spring rate)
Progress rear sway
K-Tuned UCAs (front)
SPC UCAs (rear, with camber adjustment)
New OEM A-Spec front lip (last of two in the country...needs to be painted PWP [currently silver])
To come:
Wedsports TC105Xs 17x8 +42 (NASA H2 compliant spec); 949racing lugs
Some high performance all-seaons in 225/45/17
Toyo RRs (H2 spec tire) or Federal 595s for track (HPDEs)
SS brake lines (brand?)
Maybe some seats of some sort? (Thinking either Sparco sport seats or swapping the Buddy Club race buckets in my s2000 into the TSX, but need to have a harness bar for that as they are not compatible with stock seat belts)
I apologize as I didn't snap a "before" pic before getting the car in the air.
All the new parts. Just missing one rear bar which I have ordered
New A-spec lip...hope this one doesn't get trashed :/
Goodbye old parts!
Progress bar is WAY thicker than the OEM. I set it on soft for now. We'll see how she does. PLEASE NOTE, I had to cut off an exhaust hanger (unoccupied strangely) to get this to fit.
Go ahead and make fun of my half-assed cotter pin job...it's gonna be alright
Zero pre-load on these and raised both front and rear to nearly as high as they can go (don't want to be slammed)
