I just bought my first EP3. It has D2 coilovers and when I first got it, I noticed bump steer....... bad. I had a 95' hatch never had it . I'm having a problem finding a place to buy these from (0857). Any help would be great. Thanks.

Have you tried club RSX? You should still be able to contact him over there.

I was referring to the steering arm brackets he manufactures.
Dunno about the tie rod ends, though I'm pretty sure there are a couple different manufacturers for those.

That bracket is unique, though.

I was looking 4 tie rod ends(inverted) I said ball joints by accident. If u had some trusted manufactures of these that would be super! I was thinking of taking a tapered reamer of the same taper as the stock tie rod and reaming the bottom side of the strut arm. I could then use the stock tie rod end. I have buddies in the street rod scene that have done this. Any thoughts?

he's over on CRSX...not here

the tie rods he sells work for DC5 suspensions only--wont fit into EP3 suspensions

the bracket is a must have for everyone who's lowered

Is it easy to install? How much does it move the rack up?

I'm confused.
0857 is a product?
We're talking about that one guy from Pomona right?
He makes the tie-rod end, and the steering arm bracket.
Are those the 2 products you are looking for?

its pretty simple..inner tie rod removal will take up 80% of your time but everything is straight-forward
give or take i say the bracket makes about a 1.5" difference

0857 is the guy's username--everyone just refers to his brackets as such (since no one else has yet to make one for sale)
and yes, its the guy in P-Town

I would like to make or come up with a inverted tie rod kit for our cars like (0857) did. Todays coilovers should have the stock tie rod end mount under the arm considering everyone lowers their car around the 2" mark. This would solve most of the problem.

I believe the there is only the SSR and the T1R inverted tie rods available.
But I'm not sure if they fit USDM ep3 suspension.
I believe they are for Type R or RSX spec suspension design.

As far as 0857's, he's the only one that sells them. He sells them privately, and I believe he sells them in his shop.

Edit: He doesn't have a shop anymore.

I'm new to the scene. What is the difference between Acura/EP3 type-R and USDM tie rod ends?
