Sounds good, I'll add you to the list. We can try installing them together at one of our many parties, lol.

I'm working with Radium to see how far we can share this promotion. It seems they're pretty open about it.

Yes there are actually many good LCA out there already. Now if you can get a group buy on the coils I'm in! Love how their local and if anything happened its a quick drive to their shop.... Let me know what's going on tho with them if you do ask anything

I tried an infinite baffle application in the rear drubwr side panel. Needs tweaking or a small box built into it.

I could probably get a group by... I just did some work for them and updated their site for their new pricing they just switched to... they just dropped the FR-S pricing to 1050 MSRP.

What kind of pricing would you consider "ideal" for a group by? I don't need a set as they already owe me... my set has been sitting on the warehouse shelf for a while i just dont have time to install them . But i am all for tryin to help the community out!

P.S. I do not work for ksport and just incase anyone is thinking im one of their sales guys trying to sway people :P They just hired me for contract server & web work and im friends with some of the staff.

Would be sweet to swing a 25% discount if we got enough people, but they'd likely want over 25 people, which would be tough. Would they come with adjustable top hats?

the front is camber adjustable, its either +/-2 or 3 i forget. They also sell "advanced" top hats for front that allow 1 or 2 degree's of caster but i haven't asked if they fit on the 86 or not. Rear as normal is non adjustable top hat.

I mentioned something and it looks like a dealer has to set one up, but i am sure i could probably figure something out if there were enough people. (they only allow so many dealers per region, and they dont undersell their resellers so i would have to have to talk to someone and figure something out).

AFAIK its a roof cap/cover, so while it'll look cool, it's just going to add weight, thereby negating the point of going with CF (and dry carbon at that).

The fenders look like replacements, but most roofs are going to be caps. Disappointing, but understandable given the structural loads placed on a roof.

Well just let me know what they say. Maybe we can meet up and head over to the shop and talk #'s. But it's cool you do web work and what not. Going to school for my CCNA. But since they owe you take the car down and have them install ;p!! But honestly if your looking for LCA's I'd wait till whiteline comes out with theirs. Should be up for sale within the next couple months from what they said at sema.
