I’ve had a few suspension/wheel arrangements since taking ownership in 2015. Finally settled with the H&Rs on some TL take-offs. Oem+ look is just cleaner than my prior pair of rpf1s (imo) and the ride quality is much more bearable for Orlando daily driving (whole city is under construction...always).
what muffler and spacer size u running? Rolled fenders?
Thanks - The spacers are Dynofit hubcentric 5x4.5 20mm M12x1.5 64.1. Fenders are slightly rolled, but occasionally rub due to +size rubber/switching back to coils. The muffler is just a 2.5" downturn off the stock piping.
Sold the 16' and picked up a 1st Gen with the k24z7/6mt. Haven't done much yet, but really liking this platform. Currently on Skunk2 springs/Truhart shocks and running a 3.5" Ktuned SRI w/ Ktuner.
S2 manifold installed, running the PRL Motorsports RBC swap adapter kit. Upgraded the lower mount to a Hasport 70a as well. Would've swapped it far earlier had I known how dramatic the improvement would be over the stock mount. Everything feels tighter, smoother, and more responsive.
Currently waiting on a few additional goodies to arrive:
-AP2 S2k Wheels (in keeping with the oem+ theme), pieced together a full set of fronts in great condition
-Hasport upper mount
-Acuity short shifter
How does the car feel with the new manifold? Ive been debating about getting one installed on mine.
Pulls like the previous gen si up top, but with considerably more torque than an 8th gen on the low/mid end. Sounds great, but Is definitely in need of a comprehensive tune. I'm still running the K-Tuner base map while I look into e-tuning options. Installed with the PRL manifold and TB adapter which seemed like the easiest route, but it was still a bit of a hassle to sort out the air intake fitment and wiring to the maf sensor.
I swapped both the factory upper and lower mounts (Torque Solution 75a upper/Hasport lower) at the same time I installed the RBC. The mounts offered the most significant improvement of any bolt on to date - traction, shifting, handling all greatly improved.
K-tuned crash bar arrived this past Friday. Not even a day later on a nearby street...talk about timing. Not a single scratch to the oil pan or other downstream components underneath. Well worth the peace of mind.
Ouch,....i worry about hitting my underbrace all the time. The crown on that street is huge.
I know, typically try to avoid brick roads at all costs but didn't have a choice here. $140 for the bar vs. replacing that oil pan was a no brainer. Might pick up another just to have a spare should k-tuned discontinue it.
Whats the offset on them? Going to have to raise the car a bit or add some camber.
+22, and yes, I was running spacers when I had the tires mounted in the pics above. Pulled them off and added a camber kit before realignment. All sorted and no longer rubbing.
