You wont feel hardly anything for power wise, but you should notice a difference in throttle responses and the way the engine idles over all. The engine should feel more smooth and stable. Hp increase is somewhere in the 5-7hp range which isn't something you can feel but see on a dyno. Oh and they look good too.

I've got to thank you for all the info. I order the full set the other week and they just arrived. COLOR DRK. GRAY I'll be installing them this week and can't wait to see how the match up with my other mods. I'd love for the low end to be more snappy.
Thanks again !!!!!!!

You are aware that the Ingall's Stiffy will not fit alongside the NST Idler pulley without seriously cutting away on the Stiffy's mounting bracket which Ingall's does not recommend since it is weakening the structure and it could snap the bracket in half.

Also the Progressive sway bar is an excellent sway bar. Along with the HFP Suspension make a HUGE difference in handeling...

^^^ as mentioned earlier in the thread...in order to use the ingalls damper you can use the nst pulley kit minus the idler pulley. though you will have to use a shorter belt as well....

I got the stiffy yesterday and later tonight I will post a DIY on it. Yes you guys are correct it doesn't fit with the NST pulley kit but I wasn't going to give up the idler pulley just for the stiffy. You need to remove only about 1/8" and it will fit with no problem. not enough to threaten the engine mount bolt still plenty of meat on it. To do it nice and neat I used my bench grinder anyway I will post pics and notes later tonight. Oh yea as far as swaybars the sedans are pretty nuetal and I would only change them when a pair is released. They say it should be in a month or so HFP's nice choice and since I work for Honda I can get a great employee price on them!

[blaznhot_23]

^^^ looking forward for the pics

i guess ill have to wait to install them on the weekend..

i will be sure to give an honest review about this item.

[therra978]

Whoa... the crank was a B!tch to take out..

impact did not work with it..

I suggest you guys use this tool..



and a 3/4" Breaker bar with an extension of at least 36"

It was easy afterwords...

I have to say.. i didnt feel much of an improvement..

I felt better gains from the P2R TBS but i do not regret buying this item because i bought it for $190 shipped from an 8thcivic member.. and it made my engine bay looked really nice.

Brand new is $250 shipped with a long waiting period. I would rather save another $50 and buy X's custom intake instead.

[therra978]

wth the picture didnt work.. and i cant edit.. the crank hex tool is here..
