You should also get the ones that go on the engine!! The shifter bushings for that it helps also!!!

If I may make a suggestion. Get the Acuity cable bushings. A couple people have switched from the HR bushings and like the Acuity ones better. You can read about them here.

I installed rubber shims(isolators) between the springs and adjusters of my KW V3s (rear). With only the top isolators, I can feel every bit of these NJ roads. Lol.

I also had my car inspected this morning. The people in the DMV were so confused when they saw my heat wrapped Berk with HFC. They were also looking at the engine bay. Those guys had the most confusing look and kept driving it back and forth over the floor mounted camera. At least one of them knew what heat wrapping is and knew the high flow was after market. The car passed, but it wasn't a smooth inspection process.

Not allowed anything aftermarket? Even with a HFC?

The car passed, so it was allowed. The guys were just confused about the heat wrap and what they saw in the engine bay. Im not sure what they need to look for in the engine bay though. It's a new protocol for the NJ DMV.

I covered my rear deck in sound deadening, but I broke some of these clips and need to buy more
I found a dozen different kinds on Amazon and am having trouble confirming the right clips. Anyone know for sure which ones?
At least the rear deck lid doesn't rattle anymore

I installed my Progress 24mm RSB with Moog bushings and end links.
Great mod if you like improving how your car handles around corners and curves in the road.

Why wouldn't you just go to your local Honda dealer and buy them @13blacksedan? They're just little plastic clips so they can't be that expensive.

The same dealer that charges $$100 for oil change and tire rotation? Lol I guess I could do that, Amazon is just wicked easy.

Wow, that's crazy expensive. Do they wash and wax your car as well? Lol
I just figured that going to the dealer would take the guesswork out of the whole equation.

Home Depot/lowes supposedly carry them. So you could match them up with the broken ones maybe? Someone said autozone type places keep them as well if you don't want to deal with your dealership.I covered my rear deck in sound deadening, but I broke some of these clips and need to buy more

It was a local Discount Tire. I'm really good friends with the staff there, and in their defense, all of their lifts were in use. I just got a kick outta the situation. And as far as the BFG's go in the handling department hands on ... they're outstanding (wet/dry)!

Some people hate on it, but unless you like digging around in the bottom of the cupholders to shift, there's really no comparison. The Dimes Performance knob is really countersunk, and the 3" extension I had before was too shot, so I had to get the longer one made. I love the feeling of having the shift knob up high like that. You should do it!! There's no going back once you've tried it.

Replaced a busted serpentine belt tensioner on my girlfriend's 98 Saturn. Good learning experience and surely saved at least 100 doing it myself.
