Really happy with how the car is sitting now. Still perfectly functional and can get up driveways and over bumps, but handles like a go kart and looks low. |

installed my sportlines today, corners MUCH flatter and i can take some turns up to 20kph faster than before without really getting into it. Ride is slightly stiffer but far from uncomfortable I won't go into depth cuz its the same as other members reviews it took me way to long to get these on as everything was seized up thanks to our lovely canadian winters and road salt, took me about 3 hours, would've been easier on a hoist and more rom in the garage. Im waiting for the springs to settle before i take and post a pic

I really did just pop it out (just pushed on the grill). Maybe it was extra easy because my bumper was recently replaced and I assume they re-used the grill. I also had no Styrofoam in there either so maybe that's in the way for you?

Looks great! I can't wait to try driving with those wheels. What is your tire size?

got my sportlines installed, I'm pretty sure they've settled by now its been 4 days. Ride is good, slightly stiffer but very comfortable and the height is perfect, it closes up the wheel gap without making it impossible to drive over moderate bumps. best $350 I've spent on this car by far photoshoot will come soon

I went with stock size. Doesn't look stretched at all on 8 inch wheel. Hankook evos 215/45/17 19lbs with 16 lbs wheels saved 6lbs per corner rotating mass
