Yes there's a little bit of camber from being lowered. I think it was adjusted into the negatives alittle when I first got my coils installed too. I'm going to lower the car some more so it sits closer to the wheels.

I'm not knocking the hood, but I've always been confused about why people would put a CF hood on a car that already has an extremely light weight aluminum hood. Wouldn't the trunk lid be a better place to start?

I did it for the vent and design. The cf hood was weighed at 13lbs compared to the stock 17lbs so it did save alittle weight but I was more after looks since I'm working on a show style car.

how much of a drop did the bc coils give? or whats the least and greatest drop they can give? thinking of getting coils when i get the car but i need some that will drop about 1" for street use and about 2"-2.5" for track

and car looks great! exact same color combo i want, only diff is im debating wether i wanna get the Seibon CF FA hood or not. The one on this pic but i wouldnt be tinting headlights might get CF trunk and diffuser to go along with it too!

I believe im at about a 2"drop. I've got my car sitting right on my wheels and cambered out some. I think you can go from .75" to 2.75" on the standard kit from bc racing. I think the FA hood would look sweet. Its a pretty mean looking one. I'd say go for it if you want

...sounds like you've got some awesome plans for yours

I really hope they do the 2.5l, that'd be pretty awesome. I'm not too worried about it because this one can be upgraded to. But maybe more will be revealed later this year

:drools: how can it be upgraded! Wouldn't you have to do an engine swap?

oh i meant just modifying the current 2.0L.. it has alot of potential especially for just doing street tuning

Ahmeda · 08-24-2013, 07:38 AM

That's true. But with the modifying you could still do that to the 2.5l and get more bang 😁 I guess itl all depend on the features and body style the 2015 comes in weather I get it or not lol
