i think it fits the stock LCAs and rotor hubs.

AEM gives you rotors, cals, and pads, and i think some tubing and mounting hardware.

thanks man.

not that it would be cost effective, but you wouldn't happen to know if you could install this kit, but get better rotors like Brembo and such? thanks

Two pages. Damn its not that tough. The parts look the same from both cars. The teg ones are just bigger obviously. My advice is to take apart your civic before you get the parts if you can afford to. I just went at it and kinda figured it out. If you want to do the bare minimum just leave all the control arms (front, rear, lower, upper) as well as the rear compensator arm. and replace the assemblies which attach to these arms. Should be the knucle up front including rotor and caliper. And a much larger piece in the back. DOnt know exact name. Just a large metal sort of frame including same pieces i described for the front as well as the ebrake cables.

Hondas arent complicated. If you arent a retard you should kinda be able to mess with stuff like this and figure it out.

I would recomend swapping out for entire gsr suspension (LS is the same except for rear bar i believe) and at the same time reaplacing all the bushings, as well as getting new pads and rotors.

Why dont we close this thread and make it a sticky...or just make it a sticky. Im sure that all the info anyone needs is in it by now.
