Hi guys

I need some advice on what bolts/nuts etc are needed in installing the following suspension parts on a ek9:

Skunk2 front camber arms
Skunk2 rear camber arms
Skunk2 rear lower control arms
Front lower brace
Rear lower brace

Can I get away with using my original honda oem bolts or will I need extended ones, I've read somewhere about tensile bolts.
I would greatly appreciate knowing exactly what parts I need so I can get ordering.

Thanks
 
All the standard bolts are fine bud.
Only extended bolts I've heard people need is when using an ASR brace on the rear.
Depending what rear brace you have obviously. If it's just a replacement for the oem ek9 one then you'll be fine.

Here's pics of the braces im going to be using, hopefully suspension should be ready for japfest2!
 
Yeah they should be fine to reuse the original bolts bud.
 
Jesse, on another topic do ek9's come standard with a rear subframe brace? Mine has a brace underneath the anti roll bar. However I've Googled ek9 pics and not all of them have them, some just don't have a brace at all?
 
Yeah a brace that sits at the very bottom of the rear subframe.
Basically just a bar Inbetween the two LCA pickup points.
Tbh unless your looking to bling up the car abit I wouldn't bother. IMO the oem bracing in those points are already good enough.

I'm only going to replace it as mine is slightly bent. I have no idea how the previous owner managed to damage it, must have caught it on something.
You're points are spot on that's why I've brought a cheap functional brace.
 
I'd check the rest of the suspension and subframe while your changing it bud.
If ta had a smash hard enough to bend that brace the. You'll find extra damage elsewhere....

definitely, mate not going to take any chances.
 
I've seen many of them bent by tyre fitters who try jack up on them!
