Get rid of the lip and slam it... that looks stock height lol

[plAythiNG]

I reckon u should paint it Prash. It looks cheap un painted.

[crashprash]

Looks like stock height for some reason, but its hard for my to judge because i'm only looking at pictures...

[crashprash]

its low enough for me...have to drive over the grass on the side of the driveway and then zigzag in and out..cant enter the carpark at my gym as well...so this is the limit for me..remember my lip kit reduces right height by an inch and it sticks out quite a bit..you know how i am with my car..i dont want any scratches etc

[plAythiNG]

Prash, u sure you lowered it? It looks high as still.

How are you entering your driveway. U have to angle it pretty much sideways. Car still looks 4x4 prash lol.

They are massively adjustable, you will have no trouble getting the toe correct with your desired -2.5° camber setting. I didn't measure the full range but I am sure they will adjust to ±30mm the length of the OEM inner tie rods. Possibly more. The Todd's items have the advantage that you won't have to pull them out if you change your suspension configuration significantly or go back to stock. I can't fault the quality of the Todd's items and I wish I had made something similar myself instead of buying J's Racing ones as well as modifying my own.

So that price from Heasmans was to remove, modify and refit one tie rod?

i just asked asked the guy how much it would cost and he said 130/side..i assumed it was to remove old tie rods..modify new ones and fit...

[ChargeR]

Yeah plaything/alex wanted to get em as well...do you know how much shorter than oem they are?..would i be able to get my -2.5 camber without having toe issues?

regarding the tie rods..oemacuraparts sells the inner tie rods for 100 shipped for a pair + 130/side labour from heasmans = 360 (modified and fitted)....im assuming this is all i need?


OR....buy from todd for 255 a set and fit..but im sure the labour cost to fit the tie rods will make the total more than 360?..

Im more inclined towards the 1st option as I feel it might be cheaper and I am guaranteed that it is an orginal honda part...Opinions?
