I considered the option of bending the radius arm, but was strongly advised by swap shop not to screw with that since it has such a important role in the EF series' suspension, which makes sense.
will an aftermakret crossmember lower the mounting point of the radius arm? how much are we talking price wise?
Swap shop mentioned a balance shaft delete with an aftermarket pulley... which is 300$ plus I have to pull this piece of shit motor back up to install it..... which also happens to be a real bitch, especially since it is mechanically ready to roll down the road. I really dont want to deal with the rear motor mount again. I would consider maybe cutting a hole through the unibody.. and ofcourse reinforcing it afterwords to access the pulley, but that would also be some serious time involved.
I raised the suspension about an inch and a half since it has adjustable coilovers, but I am still concerned it would hit during a hard turn or speed bump, railroad, ect.
if a front crossmember would drop it down 2 inchs then that would be ideal. any other sujestions?
Oh and please remember not my car, so I don't advertise for honda CIVICs, lol.
-wait until I post some pics of the nightmare, getto-bullshit under the dash, Im talking power and grounds tiwisted together next to eachother without ANY electrical tape, shrink rap, bare wires! I told this kid I am going to have to Uninstall ALL aftermarket pieces before I begin to think about diagnosing the no start issue.
