Unless you have stiff suspension, with poly bushes and aggressive geometry that needs very precise control of the suspension angles...no.
I very much doubt anyone with a standard or lightly modified Mk3 will ever tell the difference.

Apparently not worth doing from a handling point of view!

I like mine as its all chrome/shiny!

Some pics in Dub Rides or my Project thread.

Well, they look damn good. But I was thinking of getting it to complement the coilies that Im also planning on which sounds like it would be a pointless idea. Might get one anyway cos they do look nice.

It'll not do any harm...
Just don't expect it to handle like an Integra Type-R once you've fitted it.

No, I have some spacers away at the powder coaters at the moment, but there's roo much snow to go and collect them..so once I have them, the ITBs are complete and ready to fit.
