The wheels pictured with the brake kit are Konig Traffik's.

I got the tie rods installed on Wednesday, and they're terrible. Bumpsteer became much more apparent. The car was almost undriveable. I assumed it was either an error with my toe settings or because I used them without roll center adjusters at first. I was 99% sure I set the toe up properly as I've aligned this car several times without any issues. So I searched again for someone that had used these tie rods and finally found one person after 15 minutes of looking. He had the same issue on his '92-'95 Civic with roll center adjusters. I'm not sure what kind of car Hardrace was testing these on, but they just don't work. At least not for the '92-'95 Civics.

So on Friday I reinstalled the OEM tie rod ends and realigned the car. I've been playing around with different setups. I'm pretty happy with how I have my toe setup, but I want to play around with my camber and caster settings some more. Here's how it's currently setup:

-2.0mm Total Front Toe
-1.0* Front Camber
-1.0* Caster
0mm Total Rear Toe
-0.5* Rear Camber

It's amazing how much better the car drives by just adjusting the front toe out 2mm.

For now, no more updates on new parts. I did however order my helmet. I bought the Zamp FSA-2 in Matte Black. Decided on this one based on the reviews as a budget friendly Snell SA-2010 helmet. Once I receive it I'll post some pictures and my opinion on it.
