Are these the washers/bushings that go under the base of the shifter housing? How good is the difference? I mean how does it feel with and without it?

These go in the engine, shifter cable bushings. I have the mount ones and SS from h-fit.com the combo is awesome. Gives it a crisp and sporty feel. I highly reccomend them all.

Thanks for the compliments remould! I really love that exhaust system of yours! And you said you even overtook an Integra DC2! HAHA! awesome feeling and adrenaline rush if I were you! I also wanted to track, but my fit has no go =(
And about the drop of my springs, it was like 2 fingers between the fender and the tire, after I cut 1 coil (just with the fronts), i can insert just a finger I'm cool with that, I don't want to go too low. hehe

Exactly the same except these ones are aluminum. A little more weight to them. A Nice upgrade that's for sure

I installed my zeta dead pedal. Easiest install ever. Just took the car for a drive and man do I love it, makes driving so much more comfortable.

Another piece arrived at Fedex... A new Progress anti sway bar.. That thing is adding 17Lbs of unsprung weight on the rear suspension... It should work well with the wider, stickier tires that also have increased unsprung weight and rotating mass... The weight is slowing me down but It should stay right where I want it to when cornering.

I have heard some negatives as well as glorious praise.. I had one frightening snap over steer episode while also under steering without the bar.. I think the tires I now have should work well with the bar and vise verse.. I may have to add some preload to the front springs... What ever it takes to get it it dialed in, I'll do... Hopefully I'll be able to give a very positive review..

Hey if you want to not risk having any clunking from the bolts hitting your springs/coilovers you may want to pick up some button head style bolts. I personally went to Fastenall and got 6 of those type of bolts for my bar, I could give you the part number if you want. Just need to find my receipt.

Please post up some pictures and congrats on the Del Sol. I was planning to get a CRX as a project car in the future but have now decided a Del Sol would make a great show car project in a few more years.

Hi Hootie, Fortunately the person that got the anti sway bar from had already bought the new hardware and put it in the bag the original stuff and instructions came in... We have a Fastenall place here and I saw them in two other small towns between Palestine and Waco.... How do you like having the bar on your car? have you ever had a snap oversteer The situation arise where the rear end tried to come around on you? The bar is so heavy and stiff it has me wondering if the car will feel as if it has a solid rear axle.. Does it feel at all like that to you? I have really liked being able to adjust the dampening spring tension and height since getting the coilovers .. I believe I can come up with settings to optimize the bar for the type of ride and handling I desire..
