Civic Type R EK9 Build

[IntermaN]

Nice work Hows does the car feel with coilovers compared to standard suspension?
I thought the Red stiched gear gaitor was on EK9's as standard or is it only for the RX editions?

Before the cage went in lovely! Got it set up very well but the extra weight is effecting something at the mo so getting allignment done again and thinking i will up the rear spring rate to 10kg/mm.

Stiched gaitor is only RX from what i've herd.

Why haven't you fitted it?

forget the spoon front strut and get yourself the 3 point

Nice! Although seeing as its stripped i would have gone for a rear strut brace without trim dodging brackets, would be even stiffer

Good work though, nice to see you never gave up after the damage to the old car

Thanks mate i wanted some more Spoon parts. I love there parts. I know there are better parts on the market but i'm sure they are small differences.

Watch this space though lots more to come.....

go carbing 3 pt probably the best looking best functional brace out there

Yup i do like the spoon also

The front upper strut brace made a difference on mine, much stiffer than the oem brace as it actually joins the suspension mounting points

Thats what i was thinking the OEM doesn't really do much.

coming along really well dude! those 4point rear braces are nice but im sure your spoon one will be more than sufficient with the cage in aswell! ive got a spoon front brace and was considering a 3point but tbh since puting the H-brace on the bottom its more than tight enough for the moment! keep the updates coming man!

I have this, it's an amazing bit of kit. Probably the best 3 point brace out there on the market, other than the Rigid one! If you get it, make sure you get the Silver aluminium one, not the white steel one!

Oem red brace is not worth 50p in my opinion, it's absolutely wank lol

I know... Some it hasn't worked out but more Spoon on its way none the less.

The car is very stiff as it is just need to tie the front lower in and its sorted. I too have just bought a Spoon front. Not been a big fan of the 3 Points. No particular reason.
