Back on track. Had a fun time at the SoCal meet over the weekend. Nice to see Fits in person that I usually only see in pictures.

Thanks Burzpaw for taking the pics.

I am on meds, thanks for the concern. Don't ever say that shit again. I don't take lightly to people telling me what to do health-wise. As far as it goes, however, manic depression is a real illness, so please treat it as such. And yes, I do know what I'm doing. Differing opinions doesn't mean one or the other is wrong. If you're going to hate on my plans and tell me to "take meds to calm down" or " Internet forums is not the right place for you to bring out your junk." then please kindly go *** yourself. I really don't appreciate it. Also, you are more responsible for "Internet forums is not the right place for you to bring out your junk." than I am, since you chose to react to my statement.

Have a nice day, $$$$.

^^ and if you don't like the way I'm talking to you, then try talking to me in a less aggressive manor first
Listen. Don't tell me what I know. I am psychiatric nurse. Everyone here is merely pointing out reality to you. Last thing you want to end up is to get committed. I would gladly edit out your post here for cursing out an admin and give you a warning. Next time its a ban hammer.

edit: oh and posting my personal information too....i'm being too nice... i should not even give a warning.

Annnnnnd back to Fit shit...

























This was all easy to install. I will say you need to take your time when tightening up the subframe with the collars. The car feels real solid now and a good amount of road noise is gone. Now I need to redo the alignment.

i guess u really don't need to remove all the bolts at the same time to drop the subframe right. u just do one bolt at a time?

You have to lower the subframe all at once. I used my jack and lowered the subframe just enough to get the collars in. Also, if any of your subframe bolts that are the least bit rusted you have to clean them. The collar clearances are super tight! It definitely waaay easier than you think.

That sway looks good. It is definitely more tucked up into the chassis than the progress RSB.

Those collars look great...maybe when I have some freed up funds I'll consider them. The full set costs a pretty penny.

I was able to take it to the store. Road noise is reduced dramatically! I'm shocked that this happened. As far as little bumps in the road, I can't hear them too much. The bigger bumps you can tell the front is more solid now. I haven't taken the car on these amazing Californian freeways yet. So far I can say the Rigid Collar system is pretty amazing with my suspension components. I'm sure if my springs were stiffer I would feel a difference. Also, this was a normal driving. I didn't go ape shit or anything. Def a super easy mod that WILL change the cars dynamics.
