I'm on D2 RS coilovers with (I think) 6kg/mm Front and 7kg/mm Rear spring rates. The compression valving has "36-way" adjustment - 36-clicks on the valves. I 'm at 1/2 F and ~ 2/3 R

All done.

Took it out for a little spin after the re-flash and noticed immediately that the torque dip is gone. Woot!

I also noticed the engine sound is a little different with this tune.

Just installed some swift springs spec R spring on stock shocks. Seems pretty stiff so far but I've only done maybe 50 km on them yesterday and the roads are not in the best of shape haha. I also need to get a proper alignment done once I'm all set up.

anyone have suggestions for a muffler single exit axle back? I have a plm track and it's not the prettiest looking there out there

Swift was one of the springs i was debating. Any issues with height after drop?

Oh yeah, definitely sore right now.

Thanks for the info! Planning on installing my OFH next weekend and I had no idea I needed bolts.

You're welcome.

I still don't know how I missed that fact in all the OFH threads that I read.

Wasn't me! I stayed home yesterday.


Since I'm installing others' mods, I took some time this afternoon and performed a minor upgrade for my own car.

Old tips didn't want to come off but they were no match for me and my power tools. New tips look so much better.

It'll keep me happy for a while until I install a full exhaust. Priority for other mods right now.

[jvincent]

Which tips are those?

I got some bolts this afternoon for upcoming installs. Sorry John.
Not sure if OpenFlash missed them or not but I'll have some from now on.

No problem Andre.

I just assumed that the OEM header bolts could be reused, but once I pulled it off they were embedded in the flange and I was like WTF? I'm still surprised I never noticed this being mentioned.
