Official Lame Thread. A bit late to start a build thread...so im not. My car from 2010 on. Suck it.
Summer 2009:
Now:
Decided against blowing all my money on new wheels this year and wanted more bang for the buck.....should be all installed with in the week.
Hotchkis front/rear sway kit
FCP Groton Option 3 control arm kit
Meyle rear tie rod end links
034 High Density strut mounts
ECS 10mm + 15mm spacers
034 wheels studs + nuts
oh i agree. but i just couldnt find anything i liked...and am tired of feeling like i drive a marshmellow. haha
this!
I have started to collect suspension pieces too.
I am waiting until I have a bunch of stuff though so its a big, noticable change instead of really small incremental ones.
Nice. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
How much did the H-Sports, end links, and strut mounts set you back?
h-sports..$470 ish
strut mounts..$50 ish
rear end links..$60 ish
dont remember he exact costs. but yah forum has been super slow lately. lets pick things up ladies and gentleman!
yeah when i looked at hsports many moons ago they were in the 525 range. it will feel like a new car, just upgrading to a 19mm neuspeed rear sway made a hell of a difference

^miss this guy.
but yah got them from purems.com cheapest place around...well that i could find.
Yeah they always have had the best price as far as I remember, but it wasn't THAT good. Good to know they're dropping in price. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Guess I lied....picked up C5 vette wheels for $50 two nights ago.
Now the real question is... Polished vs. Color ??
Double staggered:
fronts 17x8.5
rears 18x9.5 should be interesting
How exactly is that going to work? Won't quatto/your ABS take issue with the fact that they're going to see your wheels moving at different speeds?
Nope if i run 205/45/17 and 205/40/18 there will be only .8% difference. Well under the 3.0% recommended max staggered difference.
so i should be in the clear.
someone want to help me out on the offset question?
big high five to FCP. they got thier **** together.
yah im pretty excited for the sways too, Nic. haha
