Here are some new pics of my car after new ASA 17x7 with 215/45/17 PZero Neros and front Tein SS coilovers with 1.5" drop.

Problems that arose during the installation, after years of being exposed to snow and salt, my lower control arm bushings had seized to the bolts. Shop didn't have parts in so they couldn't complete the rear coilover installations today

Additionally I didn't realize that the original front strut bar wouldn't fit with the new SS. Aaaugghhhh, I've been dreaming about this day for years now, so close but still yet so far...

Anyway couple of questions.

- for the front strut bar, which bar would you pick specific to my current problem
Cusco, Tanabe, DC, Megan, AGP others? Read all the threads but could not see any favored bars. Any help from folks with Tein SS would be much appreciated?

- After the front coilovers were installed, noticed that I have a lot of "play" in my steering. What might be the cause and fix for it?
Wasn't used to it and found myself almost losing control during an evasive maneuver on the freeway (avoiding the usual garbage on LAs freeway, this time it was a tangle of cables!!!! Good thing no sofa... ) .

I like my APR strut bar , works fine with the tein SS. I dont know if cusco makes a front upper strut bar for us, if they do that would look nice

OK thanks,

A suggestion for the NOOB guide for Tein SS section that might be helpful,

"Stock Strut Bar will have to be replaced!!!!"

Play in the wheel means you probably need an alignment, did you put a camber kit on it as well?

Klepto, do you have a yellow turn signal bulb? Legally arent you supposed to have an amber?

DD2Ack

No alignment yet, will have it done once the rear coilover are on. No camber kit put on either.

I'd recommend both after you get the rear fixed
