^correct.
H&R makes a bit stiffer bar than the OEM type-s front

Yeah, RV6 makes one I believe. Maybe it would be worth the upgrade? Who knows. I know after talking with members who went from base TL to type-s, they said they noticed a hugeeeeeee difference in handling/body roll because IIRC the base has a hollow FSB while the type-s has a solid FSB. I don't know that thicker FSB would be worth it or not.
Anything else I should have replaced while they have the subframe dropped? I was thinking compliance bushings.
I was also wondering, I will have to get an alignment after they do this won't I?

rv6 makes a strut bar. irrelevant.
H&R makes a thicker front sway bar
if you dont have the progress rsb already, you should get the H&R front and rear combo.
HUGE IMPROVEMENT in every day driving.
car will not wander.
Stiff is better!
because racecar

So as it turns out, I won't have to install my motor mounts myself. When they drop the subframe for the clutch install, they will have easy access to the motor mounts and be able to install them for no additional labor. Saves me a ton of work.
While the subframe is dropped, they will be:
-Replacing clutch/flywheel with Spec stage 3+ and 14lb aluminum flywheel
-Replacing both axles
-Replacing front and rear motor mounts
-Rear main seal
They will also be doing the timing belt, water pump, front main seal, cam seals, thermostat, serpentine belt tensioner, serpentine belt, etc.
Gonna be like a new car when I get it back!

We tried game of thrones, wife can't understand the accent so she didn't like it. 
Constant, how anal are you? on white/silver you will not hide it totally, but I'd start with some glazing putty to fill in the crack, you already burned the clear so there's not a lot to make worse. Fill crack, sand with 1000 to 2000, prime as little as possible...wetsand it...base coat then clear. Wait 3 days and then wetsand/buff the whole area in hopes it'll blend in. I will admit, it's not easy and there are a billion ways to skin a cat.

I'm sure you can have whatever you'd like done. Takes practice and in the end you'll likely end up with a spot where you see where the clear was sprayed ONTO the existing panel unless you fan it out slightly and even then, it's hard to hide. The key is wetsanding lightly and then compounding/polishing it a few days later.
Check out my thread in the next few hours...I finally got tired of the huge gouge I put into my rear aspec lip and took matters into my own hands. Although it shows swirls, I'm luck that NBP is VERY forgiving with hiding decently touched up imperfections.

Sooo, Maj, were you serious about your buddy that would not recommend a chinese knock off water pump? I'm thinking of keeping the Gates kit since everything BUT the water pump is the right brand, then buying the Aisin pump separately, and then selling the chinese one on ebay for cheap.
