Collins sent me a set but they didnt fit, they hit the diff housing or something I dont remember, but I went and bought bolts from the hardware store, thought I got lock washers? maybe needs locktite blue or something

also how does the car ride, still have it on those megan coilovers? did the new bushings remove that bodyroll it had?

Red loctite solved the diff bs

I live in a mountainous region where every run is a mountain run, and I honestly never had an issue with body roll, although it seemed kinda soft and smooth until I started removing things.
Now the cars firm balanced and very harsh.

By the way, where did you get the clutch line from?

after the swap I was expecting much more, didnt like the way the car was driving, had already picked up an MR2, which is an original love of mine lol.

wanted the money for the swap I am still trying to finish 100% now.

not to mention the wheels/tires on the car were trash and I couldnt drive it, the guy I sold it to put the 350z wheels and tires on it, got tired of spending money on it all at once.

Installed the studs in the rear and added a 1/2 inch spacer.






Also installed the battle version inner tie rods, but the angle increase isn't substantial enough to warrent comparison photos

Civic poly dust boots fit perfectly on the tie-rods

Nearly finished repairing that section to look remotely decent.

Got about half the car finished with paint, using Rustoluem smoke gray enamel.

Not bad, not bad at all. Looks like it's going to be worth all the work.

[ Did about 5 or 6;hours of sanding on the front half of the calipers.
Lots of space .
