Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Holy crap, thats like the whole front of the car! Now does all of that have to get replaced (I know the subframe and engine are a given), but does the suspension and all that have to go, or did you just remove it all in one piece?

So I'm assuming you swapped the control arms as well? Also, where'd you find a donor car to get the entire suspension/brake set up from? Is coming off the same car as the motor? And did you have to purchase the entire car for parts? Or were you able to just pick what you wanted off of it?

Thanks,

Mike

Yeah... now that you've showed us that the brakes are officially discs... how's about a few details? Please? Did you just swap the lower control arms with everything attached? Cuz that would make things easier than having to piece it together. I'd just find a totalled EP and rip the whole lower rear suspension off. Also, what about the brake lines, what kind of modifying? I know you didn't, but if you can swap lower arms, will the EM struts bolt to the DC5 or EP lower arms? Or would you need the entire rear suspension?

i will do a big write on on it all when the swap is done... so if you guys can bare with me, thatd be awesome. and we DID use ALL the type R control arms and suspension. no more civic suspension peices of anykind are on the car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
