I've been running the FK8 rear sway for several months now and it really balances the car out on rotation. I ran the Tail of the Dragon in June and the car handled VERY well even with the crappy OEM all seasons. You will definitely need the brackets and if your bar doesn't come with the CTR...
Thanks for the updates! Glad to hear the Powerstop front pads seem to hold up well to your trackday. At $60 a set that's a good option.
I assume these are the front pads you used?

Yeah, unfortunately, the 10th and 11th gens do not share the same caliper design. The 11th gen Si uses the caliper from the Accord Sport 2.0.
Here's a thread highlighting the front pad issues:

Brand recognition. Years ago I heard that Rolex $10k timepieces were worse at keeping time accurately than a $60 Seiko. I'm not implying Mugen or Spoon parts are worse than other companies but certainly not 4X better in performance.
Use a plastic interior panel pry tool to separate the metal (silver) clip from the shift knob. Straighten the knob and then tighten the locking nut with a 14 mm wrench. Push the snap ring back up to the knob and you are done. Pretty easy to do.
Wish I could as you all aren't to terribly far but my weekends are pretty busy with life/kids/etc.
Thanks for the offer though! I will be purchasing a direct fit option when it becomes available.
I'm pretty sure the circled area is where the ECU is located. The Civics of the past with the ECU in the kick panel is gone. It looks in the photo like it's been pushed back and in. I would thoroughly look to make sure the electrical bits are all functioning and if there are not price what it...
I'd be worried about what's underneath the airbox and if the ECU was damaged. The transmission and lower subframe sits directly underneath the airbox and it also appears the fuse box(s) are damaged. You have to figure in if it's worth it to you to replace broken/bent parts and still be dealing...
Thanks for taking the time to compile all of this data for the forum members. It will be interesting to see the long term reliability of the 11th gen is vs the 10th. I'm inclined to think the 11th gen is just as reliable as the 10th gen with similar strengths(tunability and efficiency) and...
