For me, I'm not so worried about the springs lasting, they should be fine, no rust here really. The bigger issue for me is what to do if the OEM facelift front struts go! There are no new aftermarket or OEM parts that fit. Do you buy used again? Do you rebuild (there are guys who rebuild struts...

Oh no man, I been to Ireland before, i promise Ireland's roads are better lol. Let me put it like this, if DC5R was my only car, i'd say about 60% of Jamaican would not be possible for me to even drive on. Have a 4wd for the rough stuff. That being said, I regularly hang out in an area called...

Thanks Currently in the process of rebuilding my gearbox and looking into OEM vs aftermarket options for sleeves, hubs and synchros. For 1-2 OEM is definitely the cheaper option but somehow for 3-4 mfactory/synchrotech is the cheaper call

This is mine on stock springs Perfect ride height for the crap roads here in Jamaica

If I spot anything will send it to you as well. Good luck! What struts are you running right now? If you need to change the rear struts i used the KYB AGX from the ep3 and it works brilliantly for the price.

Facelift is a direct swap if swapping the entire assembly. The springs themselves are different to pre facelift since they are wound in opposite directions. I often see used springs and struts online for sale. Are you UK based? Shouldnt be that hard to track down i dont think

My pre-facelift is currently running facelift suspension. That was all I could get used locally to replace the AWFUL coilovers that were on the vehicle.

Hi guys, does anyone know the difference between the original part numbers and the revision parts? Any clue as to what honda changed/improved on the synchros, sleeves and hubs? thanks

Hi guys, any idea where I can find these upgraded taillight gaskets?

bump?

Good to hear. Was it a type-r specific fender or just the base fender? My understanding is that the type-r fenders are wider/flared. I wonder if the wreck has a front left fender in decent shape. I need one but i cant imagine the cost to send it from anu to kin

Anyone have any thoughts?

Greetings bredrin. Jamaica here. I might know someone in Anu who can help you out potentially, DM me!

Hi guys, I'm about to take down my gearbox after having some ongoing issues with second gear. I believe the synchros (and possibly the sleeve) are gone. I am trying to decide whether to replace ALL the sychros and if so, carbon synchrotech or genuine Honda. I don't track the car but I do...
