Forgot to mention...

You'll need a small hex head to remove the red nob to put the top hats on. Also the nut is a thread lock type, so you may need an impact gun to tighten it.

I had my buddies garage, which had a lift and air, to do the entire install smile.gif
I figured out the hex nut on the red caps, that was easy enough to figure out haha

There's no way I'll ever be able to go back to regular springs and struts...and I can't wait to get the fronts next winter!

Just need to get an alignment to fix the camber in the rear.
I don't really feel like painting the wheels white anymore, just going to leave them how they are.
And I got the Jspeed on my car, had to cut out some sections of the supporting braces, but it's in there now smile.gif

I'm debating whether I want to drop the money or not. It's going plasti dipped though, I'd rather not paint them.


Think I might but the 20mm in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front.
Probably not, though, since I want to stay a little tucked just so it doesn't rub at all

Yeahh, I bought it from some cool dude on here wink.gif haha
I have about a finger gap between the fender and the tire, I would go lower, but I'd rather not sacrifice the performance

I'll be getting some more pictures tomorrow too

hahaha I deleted them a long time ago! I hate the USDM ones and I'm not too fond of the JDM ones, it just interrupts the flow of the body

I like the side marker delete, looks really good. The turn signal wraps around far enough to the side anyway, not really sure why they put side markers on the car to begin with.

The turn signals are actually in the fogs now lol I got h3 LED bulbs
I hate how the stock turn signals look and I didn't want the clear ones.

Well, looks like I'll be ordering camber bolts for the rears...and hopefully I can get my left front within spec before I go back for an alignment again.

Left Front
Camber:-2.1 (0.3 degrees out of spec)

Right Front
Camber: -1.7 (0.1 degrees in spec)

Left Rear
Camber: -3.5 (1.6 degrees out of spec)

Right Rear
Camber: -3.0 (1.1 degrees out of spec)

Just curious do you feel much of a difference having two different sets of coilovers on there?
