Also, panties are now unbunched. I just so tired of hearing what I need to do with my projects. You didn't even take the time to ask what was already done, just jump to the conclusion they are stock. Also the black is NOT debadged there is most definitely a badge on the front
I'm going backa nad forth from Google images, and I don't think it a Legacy either.
The slope of the headlights is wrong. Could be the angle of the pic though.
OP will post the results though.
Seriously though, I wasn't trying to **** anyone off.
I'm actually a bigger fan of Volks/Audi, than JDM tuner cars.
What I know about Hondas and such, I learned from my best friends kids.
They buy, "build", and break, alot of Civics, and Integras. Guess who got to help go on parts runs, because I had an F150.

OK, I change resolution on my monitor, and found the Mitsu badge.
Still don't recognize the car though. Early Evo?

Well to get back on track. The race jeep is launching even harder than ever. Along with the new sway bar setup I also moved the lower shock mounts in about 3 inches. This serves 2 purposes. Gives me lots of room to run a traction bar, all the ones on the market interference with factory shock locations, and second gives me a more vertical shock. While that may not be best for droop and suspension travel it's gonna help a ton with keeping wheel hop under control

Finished up some of the other projects early, so I went ahead a built my limiting setup. This should help keep the front end stable under launch.
Ignore the surface rust.

Thanks a lot. Support from the community is the only reason I give any of my time toward outlining my build. Here's the layout of my frame mount for my limit chain, all grade 8 hardware
Is that chain strong enough for what you're using it for?
Why so far forward of the axel? Why not directly above, so as to limit the amount of travel? Or is this all just temporary/mock up, until you get the proper goodies?
How much does this monster squat in the rear when you launch it, anyway?

Yep its strong enough. In the first pic all the weight is held by the chain, the axle is suspended. And it's forward for 2 reasons, one it's opposite of the control arms, so when it reaches its max length that's all that matters, and 2nd there was a very convenient existing mounting locations.
As far as strength my custom setup is about 100x stronger than any universal kit. Each chain is strong enough to hold two axles, but in reality it only is holding half of one
