Getting this thread caught back up to speed, Blue was basically parked up at my shop, @Unity Performance all winter while I borrowed a winter-beater 2008 Accord V6 from @Thusee. You all have been keeping us super busy at the shop, thank you for the support!
When we did the Clutch Kit, we installed the 27mm Solid FSB by Whiteline, as well as the Anti Lift Kit. The ALK can be installed at any time, but the FSB is best to do when your subframe is out for the clutch - makes little sense to pay for labor twice, just knock it out one time! How planted the front suspension is, and overall stability with these two on is to be experienced. In terms of straight line, I tested stability by maintaining 3-digit mph speeds for an extended period on the interstate. I've been up to those speeds before the ALK and FSB, and didn't feel anywhere near as comfortable. You can also see the Ultra Racing Front Power Brace, as well as the Front Cross Member installed - I would classify both as a "sum of all parts" combined upgrades, I wouldn't be able to pinpoint how much stiffer and stable those two made the car. All in, 4 great parts that dramatically improved the front suspension!
In terms of cornering, prior to these two upgrades I felt the steering to be quite numb, and I would need to make constant adjustments to even keep the car within the lane on the highway. That's now gone, even with winter tires there is good stability and minimal slop/vagueness in the steering feel. Here's a track-day vid from October, and you can see for a majority of the run I have smooth steering inputs.
The ACT Street Kit (also in above video) to touch on it quickly has been doing really well! Pedal feel is OEM so no loss of daily driving abilities there. You can't be lazy shifting with a 17lbs single mass flywheel however - revs drop quickly, and you are going to jerk it if you try to drive it like the stock clutch kit. Massive fan of this kit, we've sold quite a few over the last few months
All the parts and more you can find on my website, thank you guys for supporting always! This helps fund more and more projects that I will share in upcoming posts, and in the future!
