Rims went on today. Blue lugs! I love it more than I thought I would. Needs more low though. I'm thinking Eibach but I can't decide if I want Prokit (1.5") or Sportlines (2")--I don't feel like a 1.5" drop is enough...







i went with sport line springs and i love them! the drop is just perfect and the ride isn't as bad as i thought it would be. As far as camber plates and bolts you need to factor in expenses vs the price of actual tire wear.. For instance, if you purchase a set of tires around $800 so lets say $200 a tire and you lose 10% of the tire due to the degree of camber. thats equals to $80 over the life span of your tires (avg 2 to 3 years) ORRRR would you rather dish out the cash for a set of lower control arms for the rear, due to the lack of adjust-ability and camber plates and bolts etc... could run you close a grand... depending on the brand. So my opinion on this matter is that i would rather spend $80 on tire loss than hundreds of dollars on something that might not be worth it in 4 to 5 years when you decideto trade the car in for a next gen version lol.. just something to think about. I hope this helps

How'd you get them off? I saw this mod a while back and they had to take their bumper off. I've been wanting to do this.

lmao take their bumper off?! 3 clips in the fender liner, peel it back and undo TWO 10MM bolts. Unplug from the fog light and then from the wiring harness and you're done.





People are dumb.

HOWEVER I will say that when I took my driver side off, the bolts kept spinning and I couldn't figure out why. Then the light just kind of fell off and hung there and as it turns out the freaking molded-in-bolts had just ground their way out of the light housing. So I had to deal with that. Some JB Weld later and problem was solved but seriously I was pissed. The passenger's side bolts both came off with a loud pop when I first loosened them, but the molded-in-bolts held. It was a weird ordeal but an easy fix.

I had my Passenger tail light replaced under warranty a couple weeks ago--condensation issues.
End of last week both of my fog lights and my Driver's tail has condensation in it. So they're getting replaced too. Yaaaaay. #annoyed

We had an FT86 Meet Up at one of our Member's shops near Detroit on August 16, 2015.

A bunch of transmission/diff fluid changes, a Perrin exhaust install, and my Eibach Sportline Springs.

Mid-swap:
