IDK what is normal, but my end links had no resistance in either end. They freely moved around and made a squish noise.

I think the bushings have rounded out inside, the little grooves are almost flat, leading me to believe the lubricant is seeping out.

If that isn't it, maybe one of the control arm bushings, tie rods, upper shock mound

 

Good recommendation for anyone doing this in the near future. That's what I did, installed the zerks first.

As for your original clunk noise, about a week after install I had a clunk over speedbumps in my neighborhood. I went back under and found that one of the rear end links loosened itself (I couldn't tell it was loose until after I put a wrench on and tried to check tightness. It wasn't physically loose by hand). Once I torqued it down better I've had no issues and that was over 7 months ago and about 8,000 miles ago. So before you go insane, just double check tightness on all four corners. You may have done this already but I'd just double check again for the hell of it. And FYI I also have Eibach sways, springs, and the Moog end links.

God damn spell check.

 

I was worried about you, Rochester. Thought you might have fallen and bumped your head.

 

Hello everyone,

Not sure where to post so i'll start here.... First time posting on here long time reader!
Yesterday my rims and tires came in and well it wasn't a plug and play kinda thing.
My back tires are 305-30-20 and my front are 225-35-19.

I had to roll the fenders a lot and even more tonight when I get home. I think I did an OK good.
Let me know what you guys think

 

What............so why the mismatching *wheel size? And how did you end up at those specs? huge in the back and skinny up front

 

Looks like the rear fenders need some fine tuning, but you gotta do what ya gotta do if you run wide/aggressive setup. Pulling the rear fenders is a tough job to get right, even for experienced body shops.

 

Nope. You did not do an OK good.

So now what? Get wheels that actually fit your car, and hope a body shop can repair the damage? Good luck, buddy.

However, that matte wrap is kind of attractive.

 

Wrap doesn't look bad - please address that shark fin antennae though...I'd also suggest going all black window trim and doing something with the rear trunk lip. Wrapping those reminded me of those body suits you see people wearing at Halloween...

 

I was thing I was the only one that had not heard someone say "cucumber" to something.

 

I applaud your creativity and desire to make your car your own, but having everything wrapped reminds me of the old "Peach" paint jobs where they barely prep the car and just spray everything but the windows.
I love your rear tire size (MEATY!) but wonder how much thought was actually put into the specs you chose (offset, width, etc) because those fenders look terrible

 

You really want a SMH moment, look at his front end.

I've never, ever seen anything like that on the forum in nearly 8 years.

Kids are getting younger, man. Every freaking day.

 

Yeah, just peeped that on the other thread... So much for the Luxury Sport sedan, eh...

 

Our ever tanking resale value made it possible
