Tell us what you bought, and you woulnd't have haters lol. It's that easy...

Damn, you think you're so cool with secrets. Those of us here in the "stance" scene know what it takes to make a certain look on this car. You're going to have a hard time, i'm just trying to help.

And i know, i asked Mikey, he wouldn't tell me. Which is fine, but youll have to deal with our extreme skepticism until there are pictures, and proof of size lol.

Those are HRE's right, the last set you posted? Can I haz when you are done? I mean with all this money floating around here, I suppose you could donate to the less fortunate...and maybe have them drilled for 4x100 before shipping them to me?

Sorry this isn't the right thread, but just figured it would be noticed here.

Will, here's a question I can't find an answer to...maybe you can help...

What I've got: Pedders springs, SS/TC struts/shocks, Moog shorter 10" end links, FE1 sway, FE5 SC control arms

The spring/strut/shock combo is less than a year old as are the end links. The control arms are less than 3 months old.

I have horrible, horrible creaking/clanking/whatever (mainly at lower speeds it's worse like pulling in or out of a driveway)....I'm going to order an FE5 24mm front sway as soon as I have some money...first thing...do I need 1 or 2-hole clamps?

Anyway, I'm hoping the sway bar fixes some of this problem as I think the bushings are shot on my FE1 sway. Secondly, in one of your posts in the suspension and brake facts thread, you mentioned don't get the Moog endlinks...why is that? I know you recommended the PowerGrid endlinks...I couldn't afford those before and I'm leery to get them because I don't know how to adjust them properly.

Lastly, you told me on FB that I wouldn't see any better handling with coilovers than what I have. I'm not looking for better, but equal or close to as good as what I have...doesn't have to be as good. My car doesn't see any type of racing or anything. It's just a street driven DD...would you suggest the Pedders or anything else besides the KW Variant 2?

Thanks.

I'm still thinking I might switch to coilovers anyway, but mainly for less wheel gap...kind of starting to like the low look....too bad my LS can never look as low unless I do fascia and side skirts.

Possible preview of my car for CED (if I make it....just copying the ideas from this beautiful Porsche):


Seriously though...thinking about O.Z. Alleggerita HLT in orange and painting my stock mirror covers to match (I have a set of black ones that came on my car that I would paint and I have my silver ones I bought).

1. Only reason to switch to coilovers, is for you to go lower. Nothing is going to be equal to what you have, or better.

2. You need 2 bolt clamps.

3. Moog links are fine, not sure why i would have said not to get them. Probably because they have zerk fittings which are a pita.

You could have pm'd me lol

i did. you bought more because your impulsive and impatient.....are you going to be doing body work? 18x9.5 WILL NOT fit with any sort of lowering and no body work FYI

many people have come on here with secrets and nobody gives a rats left nut anymore unless you can back it up...i have cheap knockoff pieces of **** and i will post pics to prove that; you should do the same
