suspension setup i went...

#1. Tein H-tech on stock shocks.
smoother ride than oem typeS suspension. lowers about a inch. very comfortable. brake dive reduced a bit.

#2. Eibach Pro Kit + Koni Yellow (Neuspeed version)
much firmer ride. more brake dive reduced compared to #1. lowers little more than a inch. cuts corner much better.

also i have progress rear sway bar too.

Ah the mysterious suspension setup finally comes around!

With the rear sway, have you seen this issues people have had with the mount breaking off the chassis?

------------------------------------


So when i clayed/waxed my car last friday, i noticed some "bubbles" in the paint on my rear deck lid... Im shocked it took me this long to find this, im not saying that it can be noticed when looking at it, but when you run your hand over them they are def noticeable, and visible. Short story long...i went to Tualatin Auto Body and let them look at it. I was hoping it was just some over spray...or dirt in the clear, but they feel its dirt or air bubbles in one of the base coats.

Told me they would need my car for 2 days to repaint the entire deck lid to be sure that there wont be any other issues elsewhere. So ill be calling them soon, probably set it up to get fixed after Thanks Giving, loaner car and repairs free of charge.

I did try and work a Type-S lip out of them, because that would cover up the bubbles instead of having to repaint. But they want me to have it repainted to fix the problem. Hard right over easy wrong.

So why, do they owe you repairs free of charge? Did they paint your rear deck lid after an accident, mod, or what?

Min - yeah already, starting to get a bit bouncier on typical bumps on my ride to and from work, car feels a bit unsettled under moderate cornering with a slight bank. They aren't blown yet, but are showing signs of abuse and I'd much rather just stick on the new coils for a new look and keep my OEM with H-Tech set up as back up.

I don't know why but I thought you had S-Tech's at some point too? Oh, and I love my LV wallet, any signs of damage and they give me a new one, can't beat that service, damage a cell phone and if you don't have "insurance" they laugh at you till your contract expires.

Kyle - ever since your accident that rear end has been bad luck eh? good deal that the auto body shop will replace it for free. Good rep for them.

Sorry, Yes they did the repairs to my car when i was rear-ended back in June and have a warranty on their work for stuff like this.

Yes i love this shop. I point everyone that needs work to them. The warehouse they have is MASSIVE, and constantly full of awesome fucking cars. It helps that they have a SO-CAL Speed shop in house, but when my car was there they showed me some of what they had in the shop. They had a couple Porsche Race Cars that had found the wall, several Ferrari's, handful of older HotRods, and even had a Pantera...When was the last time you saw a Pantera !?!?

No, I may be wrong but isnt the part with the Progessive logo there because it attaches to the Lower Control Arms?

I already have a full exaust.. if anything the header would be an improvement but not by much.. 2-3hp over the DC I am guessing.

the hood has a few ripples and the scratches are in and past the paint =( i tried to cut and buff with my buffer and it didnt help =(

mustache before turbo obviously, once the mustache comes in consider a magnatomitron. It will get you way further than any turbo.

agreed.. i havent heard complaints on fiberimages or seibon hoods.. but VIS and carbon creations i hear mixed thoughts.. so i guess i would avoid those
