prokit INSTALLED!!!

[blanblu]

ok, 4 hours later the prokit is installed... have a look:

...

i have a few questions:

a) steering wheel is a bit off, is this something that can be fixed
with an alignment?

b) the bumpstops that came with the springs were too big (loose)... i
left the stock ones on... is this ok?

c) accidentally poked one of the tierod boots, should be ok to drive
for a couple of weeks until the replacement comes in, right?

honda should have had the car set up like this STOCK... the ride is
simply awesome!

a) Alignment should take care of that.
b) Yes Its fine. I have stock bumptops, Didn't cut any.
c) I am driving with torned tie rod boot on my passenger side over 4 months, Its fine. I will replace them soon though.

Hey blanblu: Where is that "Twiddler" from? Did you make that up or is that something real to see how the car looks lowered/tinted?

Thanks.

Its one or both of two things.
Your OEM upper bearings. They are crap!
Your stearing rack. Your tie rods used to be like -=-, but now its \=/. Of course thats a bit exagerated, but take a look under your hood. You'll see what I'm talking about.:)
But it should all be good! Have fun and get some new rubber! I recomend Pirelli, but I am a Pirelli whore:kissm: :banana: :angelm:
