oh.. it might make sense to note that I have an EX slushbox... so, that's ~100lbs more than the manual LX sedan

ok, i mean't lighter than lx coupes, si's are different. But you are right, your SI is a fatter bitch than my car, but not by much, my trunk is a tomb with 35 lbs of sound deadener. An my honking stainless steel piping and my leather. Ah screw it, you're still heavier by about 50 lbs, so yeah, your car sucks! LOL, jokes!!!

I agree, if its REAL OEM, its a great price.

But, just for the record (in case other people are wondering), all my lips and grills are made of black ABS plastic!

i've been getting the 'the stock sedan weighs more than your coupe' from bruno for ages.. lol

but i've finally found the time to prove you wrong!
think these numbers are off maybe. Honda has the DX coupe stick listed has 2414 vs the DX sedan stick at 2462. Who knows who's right...only way to settle it is to pay 15 bucks and have our cars weighed at a dump.

Actually, you can go to the MTO weigh scales on the 401 and if they are not busy, you can have them weighed there for free!
Also, at the scales at the Flyin' J too I beleive.

Thanks for remembering R1!!! Yup, I've got an SI...love it!!! Its NBP, but more like grey right now...need to wash it. =(

Bruno, read that thread about some jackass hitting you. Holy ****, that sucks. Were you parking close by or far away from the mall. Me, I'm far away, but it always amazes me that I'll get some fcuknut that will always park next to me?!? Why is that? Go somewhere else!!!

Btw, I put my stock Si rims back on with the crappy stock tires. I need to get rid of them and pick up some good rubber in the next two months...and also a cell from you Big! Sometime... ;-)

Hey Coupz.....you still running without the swaybar? How was that anyways? I'm wondering if i should spend the 140 on the EX bar and endlinks or if it's alright off. i know in the post you made about the suspension guru's all said its not a problem and can actually help vs. understeer. Just wondering what you think

I've driven my car without one as well and let me tell you, if you EVER want to take a corner going faster then 40 KM/hr then you NEED a sway bar. you should be able to use the stock endlinks and the bar is only $85 plus tax...well worth the money

And last sat Jeff got his new Si sway bar on during our install day

nice. how long did the install take? Were the stock endlinks reusable, cause i've heard they strip sometimes. Dont want to buy the bar and find out my endlinks get f*cked, and i also done wanna waste 50 bucks. Think i'll just get the bar and hope the endlinks come out in one peice.

What kinda return/refund policy does London Honda have? To play it safe i'm thinking bout buying the endlinks as well, and then just taking em back if i dont use em. I'll say i picked up the wrong ones and try and get my money back. Or credit for an alignment at least.

yeah one of each of mine and Big's endlinks couldn't be reused, we actually had to cut it off. Don't plan on reusing the endlinks, but note they are not symmetrical. There is a left one and a right one. Granted your car has one less winter's salt corrosion than ours.

As for driving without the sway bar- although understeer may have been reduced somewhat, handling sucks ***** without the front sway. there is just way too much body roll without it. so IMO one sway is better than none, and 2 are better than 1.
