New Suspension Parts

After much deliberation and research I decided on which suspension parts I am going to use on my EG6. Originally I wanted a set of Cusco Zero-2 coilovers, so after getting myself excited when I'd ordered them I was told they are discontinued now which was a bit of an upset, so I looked at the other alternatives which offers the amount of adjustments, I decided on TEIN Type Flex coilovers, again I was told these are also discontinued so I was not having much luck with my choices. I did some research in the UK and found that a local company stocked and sold TEIN Suspension products. I quickly ordered them from www.camskill.com after being informed they were in stock, they were very helpful and within 2 days of ordering the product they had arrived safely.

For the front and rear suspension parts I opted to go with the Skunk2 Pro front and rear adjustable camber arms, giving around 5 degrees of adjustment either way from 0. Having ordered the wrong rear lower control arms, not realising my suspension was different from the VTi EG6, the SiR runs the eye type rear suspension fitting coupling the lower control arm like the DC2 Integra has. I've always loved the look of the Function7 aluminium control arms so yet again I got a set of these and they are seriously impressive when you look at them up close.

Anyway here are some detailed pics of the items I've bought for the suspension.

Rear Wiper Removal

I bought the genuine Honda wiper blanking bung for the rear window glass so I could remove the wiper motor and wiper arm as I don't think I'll be needing it much on the track.

Here are the before and after pics, quite a nice cheap way to clean up the rear end and save a bit of weight.
