Front or rear?
Only got pics of the front.



Do they make a difference?
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.

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.
