Pro Series are the ones to go for, but you may need raised compression to make them work optimally. Pro1 will probably work OK on a stock bottom end, but Pro2 and Pro3 you're probably looking at high comp, lightweight pistons at a minimum.

What aspect are you trying to improve with a BBK?

Yes, you won't gain much by upgrading just the rears, but you can reduce braking performance significantly by only upgrading the fronts. Brakes are all about balance, not outright power. ;)

On the contrary, upgrading the rear brakes is one of the few things that can reduce stopping distances other than tyres, well assuming your front brakes can already lock the wheels! It's worth putting the same pads on the back as you do the front so as not to lengthen stopping distances with...

A Quaife is definitely noticeable on the road. My ATR doesn't feel like it has one in comparison (although I have been taking it easy as it's on **** tyres at the moment). An EP3 flywheel is only 4.5kgs? I find that highly unlikely.

I'm not sure what the rates are like for the EP3, (I presume that's what you have) but on the EK9 the Eibach springs were only around 10% stiffer than stock. The standard dampers should handle an extra 10% fine assuming they are in good health.

I would hazard a guess at it being because it starts screwing up the geometry and affecting the handling more than the lower CoG improves it.

Geometry issues aside, coilovers will have shortened, uprated dampers to cope with the spring rates you need to run that low.

This is all very interesting, I never knew you could match the LSD steering force with castor angle. Know you've mentioned it though it makes perfect sense. Would explains why the Quaife in my EK felt so 'alive' (i.e. you had to wrestle the wheel) and yet you can't notice the effects of the OEM...

Are you sure you are not confusing the torque vectoring effects of the Torsen with a weak self centering? Because you are applying different amounts of torque to the inside and outside wheels coming out of a turn the effect is similar to tank tracks where the car actually wants to turn more than...

Hello chaps, my name is Dan and I'm a Hondaholic. Some of you might know me from the EK9/ITR and ATR forums, I previously had a fairly modified EK4 VTi which I used for various duties from pootling to work, to trackdays, autosolos, sprints and the odd road rally. She was a peach on the handling...
