Hi folks, I've recently purchased some Showa dampers and then have got a set of eibach springs from someone on the ep3 forum thinking they're the same fitment. Imagine my surprise when I go to fit the springs only to find that they both run the same direction and one won't fit the damper. Is...

Hi all, I'm looking for a custom sub box that sits over the arch on the boot. I live on the Isle of Man and there's no one over here capable of making such a thing, anyone know where one has been done that could make one for me? Phil

Hi folks, As above, I've just got a set of mugen dampers, I've read on here the Mugen springs are harsh so I'm looking to replace them. I know there's a few on here with spoons but anyone tried them with Eibachs? My car is currently on standard dampers with Tanabe springs and it's too low...

Hi all, Looks like I've got a ballast down, dipped beam started flickering then off it went, we've had a lot of rain recently so I'm not surprised. Hid4u do stand alone ballasts, has anyone fitted these rather than getting the whole kit with new bulbs etc? They do a 35w version so I assume...

Hi all, I've just taken my Calipers off to get them refurbished and I've noticed the bleed nipples are on the top which makes me think that they've been swapped over. Is it easier to bleed them if the nipple is on the top? Forcing any air to be forced upwards by the fluid? I don't think it's...

Hi there folks. Second time teg owner here, my previous car had dixcel discs and z pads. Before that I had ap discs and mintex 1144 pads. Currently the car has the standard brembo discs which have been grooved and I'm on standard brembo pads. There's plenty of life left in the discs but the...

Hi folks, for those that had rear speakers installed in there 5 does anyone know what colours are the negative and positive? In fact while we're at it what colours are the fronts? Thanks Phil

Simple question are they any good? How do they compare to our club favourite, the Gruppe M? From a performance and sound perspective. Cheers Phil

I currently have Paul g's disks on but they are worn pretty much to the end of their life and I'm looking for replacements. I can't afford another set of Paul g's disks so I'm looking for a good fast road disk that can take the odd trakday abuse. I'm currently running with mintex 1122 pads...

I've just fitted Eibach Pro street coilovers and the fronts are clunking when you turn lock to lock. I've had a look nothing is loose and the springs are seated properly, anyone got any ideas?

I think my standard dampers (with spoon springs) have reached the end of their life and I'm looking to replace them with coilovers. Our roads are awful over here on the island so I don't want rock hard suspension so I've been looking at the Eibach Pro coilovers and the Tein super streets. I...

I've just tried calling Chris Knott for a quote and they are not insuring anyone under the age of 30 of the DC5 anymore. Apprently they've only just decided to take this stance.

I've just fitted a spec 4 and when I went to put the car in my garage last night the exhaust caught on the little ramp going in. When you look under the car the silencer is sitting about 4 inches off the ground!! One speed bump and it's history. I've lowered my car on Spoon progressives...

Right guys my Recaro's are looking a little tired and I don't find them very comfortable if you're driving for more than 30 mins. I was thinking of replacing them with some civic type r seats but then I wondered about when I come to sell the car whether some people would be put off by it not...

I've recently had these tyres fitted. Based on what I read online and the fact that Toyo in general make pretty good tyres I decided to give them a go. Now that they've had time to bed in I thought I should do a little review. Firstly I've just come from RE050a's and despite varying opinions...

I've just done a track day and my rear brakes are extremely scored, I mean this have very deep grooves on both sides of the car. Has anyone else had this problem? I don't think it's stone cause it's on both sides. Is it worth upgrades the discs since they have to replaced anyway?

I'm looking to get some buddy club wheels but keep them at 17". The offset I'm looking at is 7" x 17" with an offset of 48 and the PCD is 5 x 100. Would these clear the Brembo's?

I'm just pricing up my next upgrades and will be using system R to set up a Kpro for me (they're nearest). But on the webiste they offer 2 different Kpro's, a Euro and a US I'm just wondering what the difference is?

I've just purchased some Ferodo DS2500 pads along with a set of OEM discs. i went to fit them yesterday only to find that the pads are too big and need a couple of mm taking off them. No where on the island will skim pads, so I'm looking for a reputable company in the UK that could skim them...

I've just tried fitting new Ferodo pads and new OEM discs. After getting the calipers off and replacing the discs I moved to the pads only to find the Ferodo's look nothing like the OEM pads. They're too long and don't sit in the calipers at all. I've come to the conclusion that the pads...
