yea, just came from their shop to do the install...I tell you, those guys do a great job! The toe kit install is NOT an EASY job to do and they did it...

I will vouch for these guys and most certain coming back again. Been looking for a shop near mississauga since versatile racing and I def found it!

Big UPS!!! to Andrew and Chris!

For anyone else reading this...

Its really easy to install both these parts and both the toe kit and the reinforcement brace can be installed in under 2 hours if you have tools.

Do some research and DIY!

Typically yes it is easy to install both these parts.

But not when the bolts are already rounded and very seized in there b/c you're working on a 15-18 year old car.

Having the proper equipment such as acetalene torches, hoists and proper air tools with a good compressor (not some little home garage thing) is the difference between getting the job done and messing things up worse.

Anyone who works on older civics knows that the rear suspension parts ALWAYS seize up and require special attention.

He went to 3 shops before and they said they wouldn't touch the car.

Believe me, it wasn't 'really easy'.

I've been to these guys a few times with seized bolts. Having the right equipment is the key, and having a strong knowledge of Honda's doesn't hurt either.

Dood, trust me , if i couldve "DIY'd" it, I would've. I know that its somewhat easy to do BUT the bolts were seized up HARD..I'd like to think i know a thing or two when it comes to cars. I do most of my own stuff on both my cars and did some of my friends rides as well, BUT, I know my limits.

If i started to mess around with those bolts, I probably would've done more damage to it. Two of my buddies work for different licensed shops with proper tools and all that but they still wouldnt do it for me. Tried another and same thing.

Again, these guys helped me out, easy to deal with and they did good!
