I really like it. I am not a huge Invidia fan but that sounds pretty dang good. I still need to install my Motiv HFC Front Pipe

This ^ any runs coming up in Austin soon? I have been kind of out of commission and will start to have the ability to get back into it here soon, so I want to start planning!

hey guys, i have a question about alignments.

so i just installed a set of eibach pros and fitted my new wheels onto the car. however, i am worried that my wheels will be scratched/marred during the alignment process.
if i were to switch to stock wheels to get the alignment done and put the new wheels back on afterwards, would the alignment be less accurate/effective? or would having the new wheels on for the alignment give me the best results?

sorry for being such a noob.

Unless the new wheels are much wider or 18's, I wouldn't worry about it much. I know when I went from stock wheels to 18X9.5, I didn't need an alignment and everything was fine. When I got my coilovers though, lol...

Second Sunday of every month. 10am - 1pm/2pm. I recommend getting there around 9:30 am if you want to get spots and park next to each other. It fills up quickly. These meets are typically larger than the Leander show and the Texas Mobile Dyno comes out sometimes as well too. I'll be going if the weather isn't cold like it was yesterday.

Ok good it isn't super early, otherwise the girlfriend would kill me. I should be out there then this week, will be good to put some forum names to faces.

Damn, I work every Sunday morning.

Let me know if you post pics of your Pro-Kit. I went with Sportlines myself but am thinking about going to Pro-Kit instead. Sportlines look a bit too low for me and I don't like the harshness of the ride now.

haha well, it's not just the wheels but lowering springs installed too. anytime the suspension is tinkered with i should get the alignment done. my wheels are 18x8.5/9.5.

so in this case, should i put the stock wheels back on to save myself a potential wheel nightmare? lol

they're settling in but are low enough for me already. this is my daily driver and couldn't imagine it being any lower. my wheels are also 18s, so it looks perfect, well at least to me that is.

I still want to see pics!!!
I feel like Pro-Kit with 18's would look absolutely perfect, but I had seen so many pictures where the Pro-Kit just had too much space still. The Sportlines I have look like they sag a little in the rear. I hate that saggy look. >


I don't know if it's worth the money to swap out my Sportlines for Pro-Kit though. I really have to see better pictures than what's posted online in order to really decide...or even better...see them in person.

I'm still up in the air going between rpf1's in 17x8 or 17x9 +35... You guys don't want to even hear the internal debate I'm having over suspension bits.

i'll try and get a clear shot today. i mean, you can sell the sportlines if you do remove them, so it's not a total loss. i purchased my pro kit from autoanything for $200 + 10% rebate from eibach. i did the install with a couple friends and saved a ton on that end as well.

I'd becareful with rubbing with a square setup 17x9 +35 offset. I'm on a similar setup with +42 and 245 40 17. The front rubs when I reverse down an incline at full turn. I also have coilovers. + I'm not an expert just giving you heads up think about advice.
