I believe you have the wrong thread??

Anyway. The tires are great, but really showed that I need a front splitter. Understeer coming out of the corners, but it's better than massive oversteer, and I was able to keep more speed through the turn.

The driver side isn't as bad as the passenger, but they both still bug me. I can't seem to get them to go in any further.

Next up is the turn signals and the tail lights.

Whats wrong it looks good. What paint brand? did you top it up with a clear coat sealent?

Yes. I fixed it the next time I had it off. There are clips that the bumpers sets in, and you have to get it just right or it doesn't fir right.

Eibach Pro-kit. I can turn full lock on both sides that I know of. I haven't heard anything wrong, but I haven't pulled the wheels and checked yet. Those tires should fit, but it will be close.

No, just the springs. Upgrading the sways aren't recommended until you have changed everything else and need to fine tune the handling. Pretty much for hardcore track cars. So at this point, it's wasted money.

I really like the feel. There is a "tipping" feeling with the rear suspension though. It was the point that the stock tires would let go in the rear. These tires stick through it(from what I have felt). I haven't pushed it too far yet, as it is still kinda cold out. I hope that the coilovers fix this feeling, as it is going to take some time to get used to if they don't.

Oh okay i see what u mean. Guess that will cause some takig used to. Im thinking of getting Hankook RS3 all around. But ive looked into like toyo r888 or nt01 or nt05. But those r mainly race tires but would be badass on the street in the dry haha. Also, love the diffuser, trunk lip and window spoiler. Getting all those because u pulled it off so well haha
