get er done! :P

Planning on getting aftermarket rims, lowered... but what size of rims look nice? i was thinking 19's but people say 18's are better??

outtamymind

i would stay with 18's, and even on yours you would still have to get the ECM recalibrated for the bigger tire size but you shouldn't have any clearance issues. if you go bigger then you run into possible clearance issues.

go with a 18 x 7.5... u wont have any clearance issues, and u wont need a refalsh if u get the right size tire...

im running 18 x 7.5 with 225/45ZR18 and my speedo is only .5% off... not enought o worry about..

outtamymind

ya i knew it would be off by a small amount just couldn't remember how much. to some people it would bother them lol. im with you .5% isn't enough to worry about.

Well my new header and downpipe are on order, also I am getting a newer set of new projectors because these ones kept fogging up......and to make it that much better I am now getting the headlights with the BLACK housings!!

I am buying the AEM Wideband from Spaz, so all that I have left to get is the three pod A-pillar and the HP Tune from neo01 in the spring....and this car should be running beautifully!!!

Hey spaz...I am sure I asked you this before....but what kind of lowering springs do you have? And did you find any problem with scraping and the firmness of the ride?

spaz

Canuck motorsports springs. Fit awesome ride ok no rubbing or problems whatsoever. I would recommend these springs to anyone. cost $200 bucks if you order them off ebay.

DoubleLP

How much of a drop is it?

Also....do you have a spring compressor??

spaz

I have one at work , you don't need a spring compresor to do them. it drops the car about 1.0 to 1.5" i think there rear doesn't go as low as the sportlnes check my gallery for pics.

i believe i am goin to be the first turbo ion in calgary baha!! buying a turbo kit jan 15th

DoubleLP

You don't need a spring compressor for the front struts?!?!?

I prefer to have the rear up a little higher then the sportlines.

Any problems with the OEM struts?

spaz

I haven't had any problems. The new springs are short enough you can push them down to get them on.As for taking them off be careful. I do have a compressor at work but I have done lots without it.

DoubleLP

Well you could always help me when I get these springs. You like beer don't ya??

Did you have to get an alignment after also?

Banzai2.4

iTrader: (1)

i didnt have to get an alignment...

ive done quite a few lowering spring swaps..

outtamymind

its always a good idea to get an alignment check whenever you do anything to modify the front suspension. in the case of lowering springs its not a huge deal but still recommended
