[the JigGa mAn]

Get both front and rear.

I like the ingalls ones

If your car is mostly DD get the rubber ones (also cheaper) instead of the poly. ones to avoid terrible squeaking.

yea just get a camber kit... take it and get it aligned right after you instal everything and you should be good to go.

what about the SPC ones? are those good?

yep they are fine too, i just recommended ingalls because they seem to look beefier then others and i have them :biggrin:

[the JigGa mAn]

sounds good to me, they are cheaper than the spc ones anyway

you will also need DC5 tie rod ends(since they are made for the type-r). I have the racing spec on my 03. and my brake lines are zip tied also since there are no brackets to mount to.

i believe they make them for the ep3 si as well, and i was reading that the new ones come with a bracket for the abs line

BC have a ep3 version, you got the dc5 version and the new ones comes with the brackets for the brake lines now.

yeah buddy club makes usdm ep3 specific now. I have the N+ and they are just ok.

make sure you properly adjust and set the preload in the rear, you can't just throw them on. also make sure the tops are on nice and tight too.

Oh ok, I've had mine awhile now. they are ep specific but ukdm/jdm(ctr). I really like the racing spec though and the people I know with the N+ wish they would have paid the extra cash for the pillow mounts and dampning. My only dislikes are the no bracket for brake lines and the lack of ease in adjusting rear hieghth.

I agree with you but the pillow mounts are a waste of money and the new brackets come with the abs line.

There was a DIY N+ thread on clubrsx I think. It showed how to preload them and had very good pics to go with it. I'll try to find it, but I know it was on the old server :mrolleyes:

I say get the skunk2 rear camber kit I love it the front is a waste of money you dont need them the stock will work fine.
