^^^ if you are not getting a camber kit and dropping on springs i dont think you should waste $$$ on lifetime alignment....

I have coils and I mess with the ride hide pretty often and am running a camber kit....I have the firestone lifetime alignment which i go for every 5K miles....

my advice to you if you were going/aiming for a mild drop using springs i would not recommend lifetime alignment or a camber kit....

Looks good Steven! And to Anil's point about the filter wrap...you really don't need it with a SRI. I have one on my filter on my V2, but that's because it's a CAI and my filter is inside the bumper but still gets wet (or could) from time to time. Gives me peace of mind for sure, plus I can't feel any difference in the flow. I've been running that filter wrap for a while now.

Steven, how's this coming weekend look for you? Depending on how hot it gets, may I/we borrow your garage?

If you're talking about Sunday, July 15th, that would be fine, David!

Thanks Zach, and thanks for the clarification on the filter wrap.

Thanks swoosh, I'd say you just saved me some money on that alignment issue. I'm thinking I might need to do something with the fenders though if I want to use those spacers, so the money might end up going there instead. Sick TLS has Tein S Techs and was having issues rubbing with 15 and 20 spacers, but then someone else was telling me that they had 20mm spacers all around with tein s techs and no problems rubbing at all. I'm confused as to how there are differences, but who knows. Like you said, I guess I won't know my exact clearance until the springs are on anyway.

And Steven, sorry to have this discussion in your thread. If you didn't have the nice stance that you do it wouldn't have gotten started though, so I guess its kind of your fault

You're right, Tyler. Are you talking about OakTre?

If so, since he is kind of like our MidWest Photog, I want to get with him the next time he is in KC for a rolling shot and some Glamour Shots.

I know I know...but as most can probably guess, yours will be much, much bigger and will drag on the floor (due to the car being lowered, NOT your age!!!!)

How south are you in Florida? I might be down in Miami within the next year as my brother and his wife live there and I am itching to visit.

Well, I can tell you that it's not a new AEM sticker.


And no Turbo either....I wish though.


And I'm so bad with mods, but this is one mod I actually will not need assistance with....thank God! I feel so bad everytime I have to call guys over to my house for another mod.

^^^I'm looking forward to the review of that, if that IS what it is.

Does anyone know if the base of an H8 bulb is the same as a 9006?

Tyler, I'm usually on AZ at work and I can't access FB or I'd hook you up, bud.
