With my ride height and factory parts, yes.
Got the alignment done this morning. I was way off on my estimate of the front camber, it was -3.8/-3.6 left/right. Toe had changed as well, to the point I was very glad I only had a mile or two to drive. She was making all kinds of odd noises and darting around. Just be aware if you install these ball joints you will be looking at weirdness while driving to your favorite shop. I ended up with the -2.5 degrees in the front I wanted, however he had to set caster higher than I specified to get that number which means steering is heavier (it isn't horrible). Driving results? Turn the wheel and she dives into the corner. Stability is great. I'm looking forward to doing an autocross with this alignment.
Take the timing covers off the front of the engine and make sure the timing marks are still lined up correctly.
Assembled to the point of being able to start the car- exhaust midpipe and radiator aren't yet installed- but I'm getting a crank no-start. Fuel is present- it reeks. Spark is present- jumps from #1 wire to valve cover and spark looks healthy. Removed the front covers and verified my timing is correct. It started piss-pouring rain at that point and hasn't stopped for two days. Going to check fuel pressure and do a compression check today. The car was running before it sent a rod through the pan, so it's likely something of mine, something I've done. Will recheck my harness, grounds, engine management connections.
Fair warning, picture heavy post so everyone should sit down.
The mail lady knocked on the door. I had several packages from overseas that I had to sign for. Here are the big ones:
One of the boxes had some dings, I documented same just in case:
The parts were well packed so I felt a little better about things (note, Japanese cardboard is pretty flimsy compared to ours):
Liberated from the boxes, but not yet fully unpacked:
JDM yo. Any translators in the house?
If you want to know if you have an actual real-deal product, look for the manufacturer's mark:
Here's the top of the lower piece, can you tell what it is?
The bottom:
And for the grand finale...
That shot has the piece upside-down, just stand on your head to see how it will look. I'll wait while the blood rushes to your head and you pass out.
It looks awesome, but the solution for holding it on w/ the nuts in the tow hooks seems convenient, but also kinda sketchy. Is there anything preventing them from vibrating loose over time?
No paint and maybe some 3m automotive tape to help keep it tight?
