Hey Vince, if we ordered early enough we should receive shipping relatively soon, right? I know the site says ship date is 2/28 but I don't believe it said that when I initially placed my order or was that for any orders?
I just got an email delivery confirmation from UPS about my order this morning. :)
Got my delivery confirmation as well.?

I'll probably trade out my Tanabe bar for this down the line, looks so good.

Got a W1 to cop first...

SO the description of this bar says that it comes with a new ground cable for the non-fk8 cars...

What's the difference between the fk8 and non-fk8 ground cables? I'm assuming the fk8 doesn't have the explodey bit that blows the ground cable loose when the airbags go off. Wouldn't removing that throw an airbag code?

It's relevant because I'll need to do ground upgrades and probably make custom cables when I do my audio system so if there'd any clever trickery or battery monitors on the ground cables it's be best to know now before I get the bar cause this is the STB I want.

The best Cosmic Blue Civic continues to get better. :thumbsup:

Gotta love 10 minute mod installations.

I notice your battery connection is sticking upwards. Is it possible you got the ends swapped by mistake?
Hmm. Could very well be. I put the green side up like in the install instructions, but now that you mention it, I think you’re right. I’ll check it out tomorrow. Thanks!

Looks great, notice any difference?
Thanks! Haven’t driven much with it, but I plan on pushing it tomorrow!

Has anyone else installed the brake brace yet? How tight did you get the adjustment nut after getting the foot flush against the master cylinder? I only have one 10mm open-wrench so the best I could do was hold one end while I wrenched the other as tight as I could (so, finger-tight I guess). Are vibrations eventually loosening the foot a concern?

Got a picture on the brake brace before and after install?

Type R has more clearance than the rest of the 10th Gen, would be interesting to see the difference.
