There is everything wrong with replicas but that is a discussion for a completely different thread. I am not about to derail Js thread with my issues with replicas.

It honestly makes the times you do drive the 6MT even that much more special in my opinion.

Yeah not the biggest fan of it in traffic but those back roads.....oh they are glorious. Think I am going to take mine to the dragon this fall. The Vagon has already been so time to change it up.

OMG, if I lived near the dragon, the S2000 woulda been tearing it up.

PS...JASON...JASON...
I hate having to guess specs etc...but I found this eibach part number...German springs, German spacers is the way to go...
I cross checked and they have it on amazon prime but it won't ship for over a month even though it says 2 day free
Autoanything has 15% off and free overnight shipping. Should give me something to look forward to over the long weekend.

Can't wait to see it all stanced out. Its going to look mighty sexy. I might have to hump your wagons tail pipe.Damn that is crazy price too. Is that 15% off everything on the site or just the spacers? If that is off anything I might need to order my springs and spacers now.
I know the Camaro and CTS-V share a lot of things. Do they for sure share the same hub size?

Well...there's a 15% off of Eibach sitewide right now...
they have other deals for 20% off but it won't apply to those items since they are already discounted.
$500 total for springs and spacers right now, shipped. Not too bad considering that'll make me not care about aftermarket wheels for a while...and the height, it's perfect.
and Yes, I searched ebay for hub bore and 5x120 and 67mm and that came up in my search, I cross referenced the part number on google and found it on amazon where there's a review from a guy specifically stating works on the CTS.
the only thing not listed is thread pitch on the studs but if all else is the same, what are the chances of that not matching.
I have an even better idea. Fuck your own Wagon's tails pipes...then take them off and put them in a box and ship them to me already.
Oh and after you do that, you might like how it sounds muffler-less and you can still cancel your exhaust order!

Damn that would be awesome if the 20% off coupon would apply. I would have to buy them instantly. Going to hold out and hope that Eibach sale last for a while more. Its been going on for like 4 months already.
Nice work. I only asked cause I had never looked up what our bore size was yet.
I wish it would get here faster as you know it is killing me. I have never waited for a part this long JDM parts included. It is insane. This damn thing better sound awesome and it also better give free blow jobs.

ahem...WE are waiting on those exhausts. 
Yeah, man...I get it, good things come to those who wait!
I'm excited for yours!
Yeah, you'll see the spacers, but stop waiting Jason...there are some expenditures that you KNOW you will make. Then there are some that you can wait it out and maybe you'll get cold and eventually your need will turn to a want will turn to a not want. That happens to me a lot...why I leave a bunch of stuff in my amazon cart for a week. Sleep on it...

LOL...they're shipping today! I'm hoping they arrive by the weekend...I'd love to install then.
I'm guessing I torque to oem specs...140 ft/lb, like the wheels?
Also...is it safe to assume if I don't rub and they look great y'all hos'll be ordering your spacers too?
Jason, I was thinking...your thud might not even be related...rather than chase a ghost why not install your springs since it's almost not even related to a shock install and see if anything changes or if you see anything out of whack?

I think OEM torque specs would be best. That is what I have always used in the past for all the bolt on spacers I have used.
I am sure you rub one out everyday. I am more worried about whether you and the two dogs sitting in the rear hatch with your wife driving causes the tires to rub or not.
It might not be related that is definitely possible. I probably should take everything out of the back of the car, including the air pump and can of tire sealant and see if it still makes noise over the speed bumps. I did also have it make a feeling like it bottomed out though this weekend making a turn into a sharp incline driveway.

There's no way...and if you are, it's not the shocks that only determines quickness of rebound, not length.
I know nobody mentions cutting a bumpstop in the back but I wonder if there's something we could trim to accommodate
the lower stance.

Only thing I can think of then is the exhaust hitting something when I go over speed bumps. But there are no marks on the exhaust.

LMAO...
you got me beat Fst...
but ain't nobody on here got your skill level!
Okay, so on one hand, NOT driving the V today made me appreciate it more.
On the other hand, driving the antithesis of it in the form of the S2000 made me appreciate the S2000 MORE.

Isn't there a guy on here stuffing a RB26DETT from a GTR into his RL? He can probably help you shoehorn that little LS into the 2k.
