My project is complete. Here is my running list, some pics, and driving impressions.
BRAKES:
GSR front & rear brake conversion
Hawk HP-S Pads
Goodridge SS lines
JDM ITR Master Cylinder & Booster - 1" bore
40/40 Proportioning Valve
Brembo blank rotors
SUSPENSION:
Eibach Pro Street-S Coilovers
Eibach Sway bars (not installed yet)
Full Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings
STEERING:
MOOG Balljoints (upper are adjustable 1-deg camber)
MOOG Tie Rod Inner & Outer
Energy Suspension steering rack bushings
I began collecting for this swap about 6 months ago. I acquired the entire front & rear suspension from a 94-01 Integra. I then began to slowly buy all of the supporting parts. When I had everything I took all the parts to my shop and pressed in all of my Poly bushings. I then slowly began to piece everything together. It took 2 FULL days for the install.
Driving Impressions:
The car is a beast. The brakes are truly phenomenal. This setup will easily be more than adequate for street and track, which was my goal. The suspension is stiff. The coil-overs are truly quality, and ride very well. City is a little rough, but highway is comfortable. However, the car is on RAILS! Handling is amazing. I am still letting the suspension settle and tweaking the ride height before I get an alignment. The car pictures were taken with minimal adjustment. I am also still waiting on my sway bars, they are on back order still. It is amazing that the car handles so well without sway bars. As you can imagine, the Eibach sway bars will increase cornering capability exponentially. Since the pictures were taken, I have installed my upper rear adjustable control arms. Overall, I am VERY pleased.
Enjoy the Pics. If anyone has any questions about my setup or the install, please feel free.
