I'm pretty sure you're gonna break those adjusters

it would look odd to me. And I still got a bunch of thread left on them. The minimum is 50mm front and 25mm rear of thread I could still go a tad higher if I wanted safely.

God, long ass post... Make your own journal thread! lol

Anyways, lucky for me, even after 2yrs autox'ing, I haven't had an issue with studs breaking off... BUT I do have ARP studs (all 20 of em) I need to replace w stock ones, so I don't have to worry bout breaking off.

As for the coils, interesting read. Glad to hear that it's working out... Now biggest question gonna be you gonna stay w that setup... or upgrade the other suspension parts (sways, links & so on). And when you do, how to keep that balance. It'll be interesting to see your build.

jawn, make it simple, found dirt cheap yet decent quality single exit exhaust for our car. I'll be welding different muffler & tip to make it custom to my want. Currently looking at Vibrant Performance muffler... but when I did the measurement today, that muffler might not fit, so currently looking at different muffler.

Yeah, I was looking into running a vibrant resonator on a midpipe and maybe a Borla as the suitcase muffler in the back. We'll see.

Yeah, I was looking at Borla muffler as well. It's all up to if it can fit or not. When you're done w yours tag me w vid of sound, so I can check your custom one too

lol, well it'll be a while I think before I get around to it. I'm prioritizing brakes and struts before throwing more money into my exhaust.

Got 6 blanks and when I get an open CNC machine and an hour with our best programmer I will have some nice 12mm (or so) spacers. Don't want to go too far out though since I spend so much time on the highway I want to keep debris and animal parts to the wheel wells not down the sides of my car.

[soulreapersteve]

Omg.

Opened the door exiting my room and a flood of bright light came in.

I hissed like a vampire and closed it as fast as supernaturally possible.

If only I didn't have to work, I would stay in my room forever...

Btw, these curtains work. Best nap I've had in a while~
