I know some people took the Type Flex from the EP3 (02Si) and just had something adjusted to fix the alignment.

Hey AceKicker: that Tanabe sub frame, is that the Sustec Under Brace? That was the only thing I could find on their sight. I may use those for my Integra as well. I actually never heard of them until now. How well do they work? How hard to install? Where the hell do they hook up to?

Also, how hard were the front and rear sway bars to install? I've done all my suspension stuff myself so far.

ok Steak first.

Yes the tanabe sub-frame brace is the Sustec one. You can buy it from DEZOD or OPtionsautosalon.com Get it from DEZOD though he is hella cool and helps us out alot. Well I havent installed those things yet they are sitting at my house waiting for me to get back off my Navy Cruise to put those on. BUT i know grey has done them before. the same set-up. He has some DIY on his sig. They are also in the DIY section under the Tech forum. So they will give you the exact points on where they mount and what they look like. From what grey has told me it aint hard to install the sub-frame or the sway bars. with the sway bars he said you will have to do a little mod to the metal bracket so the sub-frame doesnt hit the front sway bar bracket. I heard they work pretty well jsut as long as you dont drive on the shoulder of the road(grey knows) lol. What they mainly do is give you less body roll so you car handles tighter and take corners a little sharper (but inorder to work well you need really high grip tires) becuase the car cant excied(prob spelt that way wrong) high speed turns if the tire cant handle it. meaning in short if you have sh!tty tires they will loose tractor during high speed turns.

Now White

Well I have some Ice. I have an Alpine head unit, PG components and Alpine rear 6x9s 1 JL15WO with a rockford amp. I forget the watt on it. BUt that is really all the ice I want to goI really want to take out my sub and amp also becuase I'm trying to cut down on weight. But I like to have bass in my music so it stays in. I was thinking about redoing my system but I want to get all my performance stuff done first before I try touching that big project. My tunes are cool for now maybe some time next year or the year after that I will redo it all.

that is a pretty good call didnt even think of that. how much does one of those cost and how much do people normally charge to install it?

The VAFCII is $325 from robearracing. I'm clueless as to how much it'd cost to have installed.
