[APEXistud]

I've been waiting to see this stuff for a while. Sadly, prices have not been made public yet. But please keep in mind that this is top quality equipment. Real Carbon Fiber Strut Bars, Fully adjustable coilovers, high quality exhaust systems. I got to take a very, very, close look at the each one of these pieces and I must admit that they payed a lot of attention to detail and craftsmanship. TIG welds and all. These pics do not do these product justice. If you're in NorCali and want to see these in person, shoot me an email Ok here are the pics....N'joy

All these parts will be available for the Protege in the coming months. Those of you who would like to know more information, please reply to this post. As I said before, pricing has not been determined just yet, so please bare with me. initialRES......if you know of any Integra/Civic people who are in the market for a Carbon Fiber Front Upper Strut bar, Carbon Fiber Rear Upper Strut Bar, lower rear tie or Coilover kits, please email me. Hope you guys like what you see.

i want a 2.5 exhaust! and i bet spoolin wants one too!!! please more info!!!

 

[APEXistud]

OK, I'll try to answer all your questions that best I can. For TightMP3, since I don't have an answer for the your first question yet, I'll have to answer the others. These are different from GC's because they are fully adjustable coilovers. JIC offers 3 different Coilover Kits for our MP3's. The SF-1's which is perfect for hard street driving are height adjustable, twin-tube 36mm shock design. It comes with a progressive spring. The FLT-2's which has a thicker 45mm shock to handle more abuse. These are ideal for hard street driving and occasional track/auto xing.The FLT-A2's are the top dogs of the 3. They are 15 way adjustable to dampening. Some come in an inverted strut design. A bumper on the bottom of the shock absorber to prevent bottoming and damaging the suspension. I'm 80% positive that they'll have a rear upper tie for our proteges. I'll check and get back to you.

The exhaust system is available in both full catback or rear muffler only. Pipe diameter will most likely will be 2.25. Most NA apps use 2.25 inch piping. The tip will most likely be a 4 inch tip. The exhaust in the pic is for an RX-7. If you're looking for better quicker spoolup on a turbo, then 2.25 will be fine. But, for better top end flow you'll want the 2.5 or larger. The exhausts are called the Bullet Spartan 505 Sus and Bullet 505 St. The Sus of course stand for it being full stainless catback. The St is partial stainless in that only the rear muffler is stainless. I have some pics on my Clubphoto page in my SIG and I'll be updating it regularly with pic as more stuff comes. Thanks for showing interest guys. I will have pricing on Friday.

I am very interested in the Exhaust.. probably just the muffler... i would like to see more pics and some prices... thanks.

 

[MP3-Owner]

I would like to know the price ofthe Muffler section, I have the Bosal piping so I need this muffler to fit up to that. Please give a price when it becomes available

 

[freekwonder]

did i hear front AND REAR sturt bars. how would we even get a rear strut bar in there. when will the strut bars be available. and whats the chrome piece.

 

[mazdamp3_18]

im guessing that crome piece is the lower front stress bar. thats what my old VW's lower stress bar looked like...

 

[APEXistud]

The chrome piece is actually for EK Chassis Honda Civics and won't be available for our Proteges. It's a lower rear tie. I will have pricing up today when I get home from work. Hang in there

Another nice product to have would be some camber/caster adjustable shock mounts. Those would be a nice addition to the coilovers! But those coilover do look like they're sportin' some serious quality.

 

[wheelguruuu]

Carson we are able to get adjustable uperstrut mounts contact Rishie at ARD MP5 they are available! good job Apexi only one correction though the St on the 505 exhaust stand for Semi Titanium not Semi stainless! even better!!! and you will have to see this suff to really apprieciate it!

Nice sutff, just some info for you...

First we don't need a rear upper strut bar...It is already built into the frame of the Protege sedan...The Protege 5 on the other hand could use one.

We do not need lower tie bars either, the Protege's suspension design is better than a Civic which benefits from lower tie bars. The Protege doesn't need or use them.

The coilovers these guys make look a lot better that Ground Control's. It looks like a complete set-up that uses shocks and spings, instead of sleeves and springs that comprise the GC kit...

Here's a close up of the uppermount on the coilover kit.

And here's a closer shot of the Carbon Fiber Strut bar.
