Beautiful hatch.

[@JCYT]

Appreciate it mate!

[@TURBOTRISTO]

[@JCYT]

Cheers mate!

Should do roll center correction too since the car is lowered. Can get the full kit from honed. A bit on the expensive side though

[@JCYT]

It was an option to do the roll center correction when i replaced the lower ball joints a few videos back but it was something i haven't had before nor found it completely necessary. I think in a time attack build they may be ideal but still not completely necessary.

[@AlanSD1904]

Picking a ek up soon will be my daily want to build it from the ground up

[@JCYT]

They're awesome cars! Build it how you want

[@maks_kanjoboy]

Nice viideo! Can you tell me what suspension settings you use in the time attack. Camber and toe front and rear?

[@AznKhangTrann]

Nice!

[@JLM85_]

Hey Jon, surely you'd wind more than 2degrees camber into the front end for a track alignment right? I'm at around 2.5-3.5deg on my evo depending on circuit corner speed with as much caster as i can wind into it. All the best for Honda Nats this weekend

[@JCYT]

Hey mate! Just had it aligned at jdmyard yesterday. I should have been more specific re alignment but my setup has always been the same/similar Front camber -3 deg Front toeing out 1mm each side Rear camber -2 deg Rear toe neutral For FWD I find this the easiest combination to drive but everyone has their own preference. I have run -3.5 deg fronts before in my turbo B. But this is far too aggressive for a street car which probably has about 50kw 😂

How is the fitment on the crankz seat rails? do the bolt holes line up?

[@JCYT]

Hey mate The bolt holes line up but fitment is average. Part 2 coming out this week explains it better.

[@nathanau1421]

@@JCYT Cheers man. Look forward to the video as im about to buy the same for my ek haha. Keep up the ek content.

[@BeautifulRain100]

how are they holding up this day

[@JCYT]

Hey mate Everything is holding up amazing! 6 trackdays since on the same braking, alignment and suspension setup. The only thing i've changed is the springs due to the semi slick tyres. I've changed the spring rates from 12 6 to 14 10 and added preload all round. It's dialed in and im very happy.

Dunno if i should get an rx8 or old scool ek civic.

[@JCYT]

Definitely an EK!

[@salembabban4622]
