I need to fly back down for fresh rolling shots since you changed the ride height. Looking at flights...

Back for round 2 with my 2nd S!

15/20MM...after driving around last night a bit and today...I didn't even have to roll fenders. I'd rather take the fender approach very slowly if need be, this time around.

With a push from my buddy Dennis...gave DMV motorsport spacers a shot...great quality...fixed center, 17MM nuts on the 15 and 19MM on the 20...
Had to sand and apply some bearing grease (I always do for ease of removal later). Also, a little trick I use to put the spacers on the front by myself using a breaker bar.

Absolutely perfect...not too aggressive, but pretty flush!

I'm slightly less low than I was on the Sebring one...I can still get the jack under the sides without 2x4.

Looks Nice trick. I usually insert a long screwdriver in the holes on the edge of the rotor

Damn...that's even smarter! No chance to damage threads...although at 80 Ft/lb...not much pressure.

Thanks Dennis...and for all the info.

Aww yis, new fitment looks great, J. I think I like those wheels better than the ones that were on the Sebring S.

Funny thing about that Van...it's a van that's converted for a kid that lives there that is in a wheelchair. But it's been defunct since we moved in (and judging from the mold on it, probably years)...from what my other neighbor told me...it's where they stash their pot.

but I would totally buy it dirt cheap and get it going and pick up some blow pops and swing by the nearest schools at 11mph around 245pm though

Thanks Austin!
Funny...me too!
Initially, I did...then I compared to the Sebring one that was lowered on spacers and was like, FACKKK I want V2 wheels! Actually, my buddy Mike offered to swap with me when he sold his white one the day after I bought this one and I turned him down.

Now that they're spaced out and lowered too though...I agree! I really LOVE how they look very much!

Holy rusty rotors Batman!!



Haha, i'm sure your solution is already in motion but i couldn't resist. Spacers look great (i use those same sizes on my Aspecs). I think your conservative approach this time around is great, it maintains a bit more of the heritage of the car and that is a good thing.

LOL...

I'll address that eventually. I'll probably remove and paint them and the calipers . No need to spend extra scratch on new rotors since these still have tons of meat! I might go with a silver or gunmetal instead of the black I did last time.

I was conservative with the silver one though...you should see what some of these crazy kids are doing!

That's true, many S2Ks are way over done. You and Machine are keeping it classy.

Nice, nice car....I'd love one, but will have to be content with the TL, RDX, Civic, and Accord. With 3 kids, two of them driving now, I can't afford any more car deals....sad, but that's life. Very pretty car. Thanks for sharing.
