I used a super brain 989 for all my reconditioning. I did 4 cycles on most. (I know it should have been more consistant, but from what I read on other forums, 3 was plenty, I just wanted to be extra sure.)



It sounds like I should be set with just replacing stick #3 then. I hope it helps. There feels like theres a lot to do in reconditioning...

Thanks for the help, if no one else replies to this post I'll try to update it in a couple months. (Still have a foot of snow in my backyard so getting the Civic out for another few weeks is not going to happen.)
