To those of you who currently have coilovers or experience with coilovers:
Would any of you be interested in trying out the Pro Street coilovers after I have them installed this Thursday?
I only have experience with stock suspension and Eibach Sportlines. I'm sure the community would love feedback from those of you who are more knowledgeable about coilovers and have experience with other brands.
Let me know! I'm just looking for 1-2 people.


FYI, this isn't by request from SPD, I just think the community would appreciate more feedback other than just mine. I will not post your opinions in my personal review. It is up to you if you decide to post your opinions on the forum in your own posts.


Thanks again!

UPS says Thursday for my oil, so y'all let me know the when and I'll make sure I've got a lift (I intend to make this as easy as possible lol).

I really need to change my transmission and differential oil too. May do that after I install the KW V3's with the Whiteline LCA's and toe arms.

You should join us the weekend after
next when we're all getting together to do this and that to our 86's. If you don't have your oil yet, you might want to order it soon to get it here in time.

Depending on the day I can stop by and help (hangout). Been reading up on the V3 installs myself. I usually am pretty bored on the weekends need a reason to do stuff.

Worst part is getting the stock tophats off the old, and on the new. Once you're past that, easy. I'm wondering if I should use that recommended height setting to begin with in the one review thread.

You would have to talk to DTS. I can do it anytime, since I work from home, so week or weekend works for me. I will have plenty of free time starting next tuesday (25th). I just have a busy week and will be in Dallas Thurs-Monday morning!

I would love to see those Whiteline's. I am looking at a set of AP LCA's and really love AP qaulity, but the whitelines look nice. I definitely want to get some and would love to have a new pair when I get DTS's BC's. That way, I can get the coilovers in, new control arms AND the diff brace (all kind of in the same boat haha)

I do not see anything wrong with this statement, at all! lol I really need to build a new PC as the one I have now couldnt run Titanfall for shit and I have a PS4. The only thing i'm super jealous of the XB1 about is titanfall :[

Texas Mobile Dyno uses Dynojet which is the most accurate (and often the lowest numbers, but they're the truest numbers tho). I would recommend using them if you're at all concerned about doing engine tuning at all down the road.

What's the benefits of doing the tranny oils so soon? I assume its better quality, mostly just cleaner shifts?

Yea, I have some extra crunchy shifting on my odd gears and on 4th, fifth is the worst though.

Ugh, spent almost my entire evening trying to get a stripped bolt out from the seat bolts. Why did they use some horrible bolt pattern...

pro tip for those ever removing your seats - make sure you buy something like this

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QW6K8I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Irwin Industrial Tools 394002 Bolt-Grip Expansion Set, 5-Piece - Amazon.com[/ame]

you will strip the bolts. it's inevitable. you'll definitely need that 5/16 extractor tool

So in a little bit of a predicament. Got an offer on my stock wheels and tires that I can't refuse. Problem is I've yet to choose the wheels I want or something I can use in the mean time. I'm scouring the forums both ours and nasioc and even trying to get wheels through discount tire. So my question is those of you are on aftermarket wheels and tires with there stocks still laying around would you mind letting me borrow them for no more than 2 weeks? Also if anyone know anyone selling anything in our bolt pattern for around $800 lmk please!

P.s. I promise not to live the hoonigan life on your stock wheels and tires lol
