Bling! Eibach Pro Street-S, in yo' face!

We also picked up a set of SPC front upper adjustable ball joints, rear camber arms, and rear lower control arms to go with the coilovers. The camber kits will not only help us align and dial the car in for the track, they'll provide mad negative camber for the shows.

To tie everything together and compliment the cage we're going to do at L-Con Racecars, we also got a set of Password:JDM strut bars. The three point front tower bar ties both strut towers to each other and to the firewall while the four point rear bar ties the rear strut towers to each other and two stock bolt locations on the hatch floor. These bars stiffen the chassis and reduce body flex under the high g loads found in any type of racing, or on the freeway onramp, not to mention the fact that they look sick and will look even better when they are powder-coated to match the rest of our color scheme.

We enlisted the help of long-time Honda Tuning wrench John Rodriguez for the install, but since it's her car, we made Alex do about half of the work.

Keep your eyes peeled for a whole lot of tech stories on this car in the near future. Hopefully by the time you read this, it will already be on the road.
