      Will do man. Its gonna be a little while longer since I want to wait to install it till I can grab a P2R spacer and a fuel rail.

      More parts should be in by the time I get back so pictures will be up soon!

      Yeah, unfortunately the new hardware I had in the bay isnt as mint as Id like it to be after the winter so most of it is getting replaced, aswell as some suspension bolts. Hondas new silver coating is nowhere near as durable as the old gold coating.
      Wow! I'm taking notes. Do you on a norm replace the that stuff after every season?

      This is actually the first winter Ive driven one of my Hondas in. Ever since I was 16 I had sub $500 winter beaters every year lol. Hopefully Ill be able to pick one up this winter. If youre not driving in the winter and you keep your bay pretty clean and the car gets parked in the garage they will stay mint for 2-3 years from my experience.

      Thanks dude!

      Another update for you guys

      Its been an awesome week. I came home from Texas to a few packages, one of which Ive been waiting to get for quite some time...

      The new footwork is FINALLY here - FEEL's dampers!
      One is missing an adjusting knob but I found the company that manufactures them, so I can not only get spare knobs but also get them re-valved in the US for custom spring rates. This turned out to be a nice investment





      .

      .

      I also got a couple more FEEL's goodies aswell as some 23mm front sway bar bushings brackets from Delray Acura







      .

      .

      And then tonight I pressed the ITR ball joint sleeves out and replaced them with the King Motorsports RSX sleeves.
      You can see in the first picture the ITR (left) has a larger inner diameter then the RSX. King machines these adapters so you can run the ITR control arms with EP3 or 02-04 RSX hubs.

      Good to know. Thanks for the tip.

      No, driveway or garage so my EP just sits out in the cold

      Maybe next year it will be different, but who knows.

      looks great man, couple Q's about the ITR control arms if you dont mind,

      besides the control arms proper bushings and ITR front sway what is needed to run these?

      what dampeners are you running with the spoon springs? whats your overall impression?

      yup spoon springs on stock shocks, except IMO it rides and handles like shit. It's way underdamped and bouncy. New coilovers should remedy that :)

      yeah man I'm super stoked about them... More FEELs stuff is definitely in my future...
