did you ever fix your tire problem cause i cant believe that no one mentioned that all you need is a camber kit i have had 4 slammed cars from some a little higher to 2 that were just slammed lower then urs
you have so much negative camber that your really only running on the that line in the tire rather then the whole flat bottom
a camber kit would fix that instantly
also is there anything else to and inspire then the badgeing and the front grill i thought the bumpers were diff to

yeah i fixed it, it's on the second page
and my rears weren't getting fucked up, it was my front tires
in all honesty i would much rather have the camber wear than a camber kit, i like the natural camber
as for our cars being different from the JDM version... yes, there's quite a few things that you can add like intersection lights which a member here has (JDMinspired)
headlights are different
IIRC these also have bumper poles in japan...
the jdm spoiler has a rearview camera
and other things i forget

finally put back my FF1's after dealing with 2 blown shocks, and went lower.... not as low as n1njai 
, but close to it, can't fit scissor jack under it anymore. I'm most likely gonna stay at this height
I'm rubbing like hell, but imma deal with that tomorrow

i know right? lol, yeah i was still under warranty, not even close to a year on these bad boys. I'm just gonna assume i got a pair of lemons.
and being where i live.... i just dropped off my coilovers on thursday, and picked em up the next day haha. the drive is only like 10-15 minutes
and if all goes well on ebay, i'm hopefully gonna have a new exhaust within the year :3

I first bought the small one, then i found a better deal on the new one, which was for a 98-02 passport.
It's way better to have that new OEM look to it. Looks way better IRL and it is centered, the holes on the trunk fit thru the space in the back of the emblem perfectly
Different angle, I'm still working on my rear fitment for the 3g wheels, been busy lately
for anyone that wants to know, this is all you need to pull ur fenders
and an upcoming mod
2.5" inlet 3"outlet, and 18 inches long
was a great deal on ebay

having ff so close is one of the perks of living in so cal haha
and i dont even think 18" is long enough, i want these guys to stick out quite a bit, like 5"-6"for that bosozoku style (which not a lot of ppl on here like).
imma take it to a shop hopefully within the next few weeks and get it on the way i want to

lol it's fine, the looks i'm happy with, but knew a lot of others probably won't.
like the owner of mike's mufflers said "its your car". and as i said, bosozoku style
they looked rlly subtle if they were not out as much, but i'm not about that.
anyways, removing the rear mufflers made me happy, the car sounds awesome!!!

got new tires recently.... had to raise the car cuz i rubbed just going straight, and so much more turning.
went up 2.5cm in the front and 1cm in the rear. i used to be able to lean on my droid 2 on the front bumper and side skirts of the car, but not anymore
at wheelhouse tire
before the new tires and raising the car

I sure do miss being low. I was really surprised after seeing this, I wonder where that subframe would touch on the key if I was on the ground again. I installed my rear camber kit and boy.... it's so much better knowing I don't rub!
Anyways, I just wanted to show the difference between the Ingalls camber kit, and the stock arms. Note: I did not max them out when I installed them, I still have a decent amount of camber, but now it looks like the whole tire is getting in contact with the ground.
Yes... I am one of those who loves cars being on the ground.
