you can run a smaller wheel, but way fatter..that could look cool if you slam the car. Run like a 16x10 bbs original style wheel on coilovers. that could look pretty damn sexy!

Guys need some help. I am looking into rack spacers since my car is a constant fight to drive its grabbing every groove in the road and pulling me into it. Im on FE5/Pro-Kit setup. Should i get 1.0"/1.5" or 1.5"/2" spacers? What are you guys using?

if you wanted to go standalone ecu i believe. But our coils should be good up to 500hp i think it was said somewhere.

This is true^

This is the fun part where you get to start trying different plugs and see what works best for your car. and keep trying out different gaps and different tunes to see what your car likes. Kind of uncharted territory.
I believe mine are only 1 step colder...

I tried some brand new one step colder plugs at .028 and it was worse. Is there a way to check if my coil packs are weak or something? im just over 64,000 miles

to the guy asking about the steering rack spacers:

i talked to josh at OTTP and he said on base models, you cannot fit any size other than the smallest, or maybe second size up (it was a while ago) without rotated mounts because it would cause clearance issues.

i just remember that they didnt make one big enough for my drop, and that even the biggest one they make wouldnt fit

you dont have a huge drop, but if only the smallest one will fit, that is your only option. call OTTP and ask them

I believe mine are 2 step colder at .028. And also the large rack spacers can be used with out rotated mounts (but i would suggest using them anyway) if you just shave alittle off the rear mount. I used this setup before i got the rotated mounts and pedders.
