Btw. Its hard to believe something as small as this can prevent you from driving all together.



One of my Brake Calipers is missing one of these nuts on the right side, and I was wondering what noise was making some clanking noise. Barely found out yesterday, I was just missing one of these nuts. Anyone know how much they go for at the dealership or should I just dig up some old accord and jack it from there?

yes go to a junkyard and rip it from there. you can easily put that into your pocket. :thief: lol if you find a 97 grill then hook it up for me.

I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna find totalled CLs there, but just to clarify, Noob guide states Calipers from a 93-95 Legend, or Prelude... 94-97 Accords Calipers don't have these bolts?

im pretty sure that part of the noob guide is talking about the legend dual piston brake swap. my guess is thats a pretty standard bolt probably on accords as well? To save the hassle it might be worth paying a couple dollars for it at the dealership.

sorry but it sounds like you're waiting for someone to steal it, mod it, and then have the police recover it and return it to you
it's not very common, but has happened before

I am going to drop mine 1 1/2" this weekend with new springs and struts. I got some new Ground Control springs off of craigslist so taking to a buddies garage Saturday so I can use his air tools and lift. I don't want it slammed because i am to dern old for that, but want to get rid of some of the wheel gap and make it look a little better

So just to sum it where I'm at in the stages...

Before (09):


After (11):


Tint is coming this weekend. Most likely going switch out the springs and go with coilover sleeves to see how those feel before I go FnF Type 2.

Yeah...I'll take a picture when the Tint comes in....should I go 5% limo tint or 55%? I kinda want my privacy in the back windows. Lol.

uh you can have 35% but it sucks you're not allowed to have tint in the driver and front passenger windows.

I'd just go with something in between, 5% seems pretty dark, wouldn't that make it kinda hard to see outside at night?

Also what's up with the "JDM" sticker in the back window lol

Well I mean whats better? Lowering Springs or Adjustable Coil Sleeves? I'm just experimenting...cause these springs feel like their killing me. Lol.

Haha, I took off the JDM badge cause...it melting inside my car. I wouldn't mind how dark it would be at night. If 5% is too much, their choices are 5%, 15%, or 35%. I know I've been needing to tint this damn car, kinda figured not to let anyone see me during the day through my back windows. Lol.
