It's a generic kit. Leroy Engineering did this one, but there's a power wire run all the way to the battery, and signal is tapped from the wires behind the rear left light. Pretty basic really. I...

I forgot to talk about it earlier in the thread, so this is out of order. Mid last year, I switched to an OS Giken LSD from CSG. Significant low speed improvement in terms of traction, but what...

A lot of similar mods! I just added Cusco mounts and the Outbound intake snorkel. The mounts added a fair bit of NVH. I really like the snorkel. I can actually hear some induction now

I regret not going with the full sized Trackspec vents. I used a Civic Type R vent which helps with cooling, but reduction of lift is likely limited due to the size. I’ll likely end up getting a new...

A fun, but functionally questionable mod. I love induction noise, but know the stock intake setup is quite good. So I left the box but replaced the snorkel. Now I get induction resonance, which I...

I’m surprised it fits with 17. I have Brembo BM4 up front and it’s a very tight fit on all my 17s, including Apex SM10RS. Great if it does though. I’d be in on this if I wasn’t already on a great...

I wish these were either anthracite or the SM10RS. You're even local. I swear I must look at this post once a week. I love my SM10RS, and wouldn't mind another set. GLWS

If they're anything like the TFR, they have really good clearance. From the picture, it looks like there is plenty. I wouldn't hesitate, and I'm on even wider calipers, Brembo BM4.

The advice I got from a shock servicing company was that the 2WNR is built very differently from the rest of the MCS lineup, and they wouldn't even touch rebuilds on them. He literally advised me to...

Made a big change for 2024 season. I moved up from MCS 2WNR to MCS 3W. I found a good deal on some used Karcepts 2W and converted them to 3W. The difference in ride quality and bump handling is...

Tradeoffs. A strong chassis mounted one has the potential to wreck all sorts of havoc if you turn the car into a shovel. I'm still on my first APR lip, fingers crossed. Of course, now that I wrote...

Both the 6UL 17x9 +48 and the Apex 17x9 SM10RS +48 fit with the Brembo BM-4 calipers. The 6UL fits without a spacer. I never tried the Apex w/o a spacer.

I took the plunge and installed a Trackspec hood vent. This one is designed for a FK8 Civic Type R, but suits our hood well. If I had to do it over again, I’d move it forward an inch or so, but this...

Ferodo DS2500 perform well for street/autox, but they dust like mad. Real pain in the butt in that category.

I use Tarett Porsche caliper studs instead of bolts. This allows me to just remove a nut on top. This is how the caliper was designed. Brembo cheaper out on their street kits, IMO.
