Mine had the rubber strips still attached, it wasn't until I took them off and properly cleaned underneath them I saw what they were hiding. I got the products direct from
Bilt & Hamber and followed
this guide on s2ki.
I've had my gearbox oil changed, but noticed it doesn't feel as smooth as when it went in. Might have to look at the shifter assembly if it's only ~£35 for parts.
I don't even want to think about sorting the geometry out yet..
Just grabbed it all from tegiwa, the pivot ball, the other larger plastic piece, spring and Honda grease, I had a discount as know the owner but was like only 10% off and at like £30 ish might as well do it, like I say my car drives perfect, but in my mind after 50k miles and 12 years fresh fluids are not going to do any harm and I am putting in Honda original fluids.

That is what I went for, car has new disc, pads and calipers all round, its pretty spotless and will treat arches as per guide and drive it.
