I just bought the last set yay. Cant wait to get them
that was supposed to be mine!.
yeah someone said they would have one for me when i call back and i guess someone just sold it.
im gonna grind them gooooood for this outrage!! :x
Sorry bro, I didnt expect them to have any left. But the guy said they may start making them again since these last ones sold so fast with little advertising. The new ones will be alittle different and include like a subfram brace or something.

no worries, its not your fault. its theirs. hahaha
yeah i think ill just wait for the newer version to come out.
I got mine on monday too. After my set there was 3 available. Then they called me back in the evening in response to the message i had left them from the previous friday and they only had 1 set left. 310 shipped! And to think i was willing to pay 500 for a used set.

Yeah the guy I bought mine from told me there were three sets left and he had bought two of them. I paid 300 shipped for mine.
Mine are suppose to come in tomorrow. I'm excited, although I still need some stock da spring/shocks. :roll: I hope they start manufacturing these again. great product.
Spoke to Joesph @ ST. today.The FULL kit are SLD OUT #57300.The only ones left are the Fronts(the correct # is 57100).
:arrow: Odds are they will be bringing back the full kit.He said it maybe machine aluminum instead of cast iron.Cost will be more.My guess is $400 to $700.What you could do is wait for the NEW kit.See if you can just get the rear arm.Buy the NEW rear arm & old cast fork & save a few $$$.
Just bought my front drop forks, didn't have the money for set till now but to late sold out. Oh well at least I got the fronts b4 they were gone also. Was told there were only 20 sets left in stock......
True! It really doesnt really need to go any lower but I always wanted this ST set up. I just didnt have the cash do get it when it was available. They have some front drop forks left. Imma snatch 2 sets for me and NJ2.
"Honda engineers worked hard to develop a suspension that would perform well under a variety of conditions, (mostly where high ground clearance is a requirement). The geometry design (like that of any other vehicle) has its wheel travel limitations. Cut springs, lowering springs, coil-overs (when used for lowering), drop forks and drop arms, although different to one another, all have exactly the same harmful effect on suspension geometry because the suspension is running at the very edge (or outside) of its design limit. At this point the handling gets weird and can even be dangerous. Things like "Bump Steer" and "excessive negative camber gain" are all symptoms of improper lowering techniques. Excessive negative camber is responsible for a reduced tire contact patch area and rapid uneven tire wear. Reduced tire contact patch area = reduced traction = poor cornering ability = unhappy customer." - Straight from their website
So, a friend and I got in contact with ST and they said that they have no plans for re-releasing the drop forks & LCA's. They also mentioned that if they get enough people (>100) they would consider putting them back on the market. Call 800-445-3767 and ask to be put on the wish list.
why, well for the size and make, they shouldnt need more than 50 units max for production on something they have made. expensive rims needs that much because of the tooling.

I don't believe that number to be insane. Just like every other group buy or sale I have seen on these car forums everyone will want a set of something, or want to buy something, but only a handful will actually commit to buying them.
I was a bit surprised that the casting wasn't a bit better. Pretty rough but still glad I got mine. Plus nothing a bit of work didn't fix.
Spent a few hours cleaning these up, probably could have spent some more time on them, but smoothed them out, made them shine, and powder coated them candy orange. That paint they put on there was tough though. Again not perfect by any means but they will work on a daily and they look a bit better than that grey paint.
From looking at the pics of ragenasian's arms, I would GUESS that the only difference between the arms is the placement of the sway bar endlink mount. I do not have arms in front of me to confirm this. I'm just guessing from looking at the pics. You should easily be able to make this determination from just looking at your arms.
The RT has the same LCAs as the other Civics. The difference is that the 1988 Civics (all of the models, Wagon RT and FWD, hatch, CRX, sedan) had the style of LCA that is stamped steel and uses a shock with an eye at the bottom (also used on the Integra Typer R and all JDM Civics and CRXs), whereas the 1989 and newer had the more conventional style that we're all used to seeing.

Wish I had time to save up for 3 sets.
