Got the $, looking for advice
Well guys I've got a little over a month left here in Kuwait and can't wait to get back to my car. I've saved up some cash for the car and have an idea of what I am looking to do but want some input and advice from you guys. First here is the short list of what is already done to the car:
Injen CAI, Pro Kit, 18" wheels, Tint, and a 12" JL with Alpine amp.
I've got warped rotars or at least I'm pretty sure that is what's causing my steering wheel shimmy, so I want to do a whole brake upgrade with rotars, pads and new lines. The CT rear sway bar is at the top of my list. I have stock shocks so I'm thinking about replacing them and also getting a rear camber kit since I didn't do this when I origanally dropped the car
. The Hondata voice has been getting louder and louder recently too... There just aren't any dealers near SC and I'd really rather not ship it off. If I get the brakes and rear sway how much do you guys estimate it will be if I install myself? I've been doing a lot of online searching for the best prices but if you guys know any good sites PM me please. I'm trying to stay in the $1500 range if I don't go the Hondata route but that is flexable

Definitely going to hit up the racing brake sale.
CGTSX- Thanks, didn't realize that. So do I ship it to hondata directly or to one of their dealers who then ships it to hodata?

Well I think my shopping list is complete and Hondata will be on it.
So far it will be CT rear sway, Ingalls camber kit, Racing brake rotors and Hawk pads for both the front and rear, Hondata and shocks. Anyone out there know of good shocks to compliment the Pro Kit?

I'm sending my ECU off tomorrow to be reflashed. I went through a site that starts with the word club and ends with the only 2 door model Acura makes at the moment. Used the "ship it yourself" method and after shipping it, my total outlay is probably going to be $585.
As for shocks... 3 words. Koni, Koni, and Koni.
