Here is the difference. The coilover stack on the left is the new bits as they will be attached to the plate with 4 allen bolts per side. There are six bolt holes to provide even more adjustability for the four allen bolts...

OK. Basically, I had to cut off some of the bracket for the wiper motor and bend the rest of it back. Caster Camber Plates > Wipers because #racecar, but I think they'll be fine too. I got some Honda touch up paint. for the edges and where I was pounding, cutting, smashing... Mixed in with some of the blue (from below) accidentally on the driver's side...

This side was not cool... You can see where I am making room, this was one of quite a few tools, hammers, punches, and chisels. Not a mod for the faint of heart.

I used a cutoff wheel on my air compressor tool. It was weak and took forever. Shoulders killed... I'd say there's no going back on this car at this point.

Holes are marked. I drilled, advancing from 1/8", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2". The half inchers got stuck and it was a pain in the ass. Use

Front of the car is to the left where you see the line. I used the above setup to hold the template while I marked the holes.

I spent 3 hours looking for these. Disassemble your coilovers. I left the brakes assembled, did not need to touch them.

I also cracked this side. You take off the lid to the brake fluid reservoir, then you can pull the plastic divider over and replace your cap to rest it on top. Makes for plenty of room...

I just used some wire ties and yanked the hell out of this side. It cracked a little bit, be careful.

Here you can see how I used a screw driver to crack my winshield. This piece that covers the wipers DOES NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED. Ask me how I know...

They broke apart, standard. Order some off Amazon if you don't already have them, they're like 8 bucks for a bunch of honda fasteners and a tool.
