It looks pretty good. Not as aggressive looking as the Sports front lip but I like it. Where did you order yours?

We actually have quite a few options for side skirts on our cars. I have Carbon Signal Side Skirts on mine, but there are many other options out there.

rears are 26 in from ground to fender.


hit a huge pothole on the way to work and the 12k spring rates have no give. I thought for sure i broke something. Going to order some 10k swifts to replace asap.
Are your running the 12 kg/mm springs up front or in the rear? That's about right for the front, but probably too heavy for the rear. I've found anywhere between 9 kg/mm to 10 kg/mm rates seems to work the best for the rear.

I have a real CF grill I got off ebay, but I'm still trying to make it fit! The fitment was terrible. Luckily I got it for free.

Are your coil-overs adjustable for damping? If so, what settings are you using.

It's a custom one off full carbon fiber grill from Carbon Signal. Fitment isn't perfect like the OEM grill, but it's not too bad. It is starting to fade a little bit so it will probably need to be sanded and re-clear-coated sometime in the near future. I have a another grill I am working on so I may end up selling this one.

I'd try the dampers at the softest setting before giving up on them. I say this because my coil-overs are 10k/8k and I think them too soft. It's way too easy to slam the sway bar mounts when dealing with driveways.

Got my new hubs yesterday, so today I:
  • Installed the Stillen brake duct baffles
  • Installed the hubs
  • Installed the Z1 10mm studs (no impact)
  • Installed the Z1 front 2 piece rotors
  • Installed the front reman Akebono's
  • Installed the brake pads
  • Installed my SPC cambers arms from my X to my RWD
  • Installed new SPC balljoints for my camber arms. Only one was bad but I wanted to start fresh
  • Had to buy a 27mm socket for the SPC camber adjustment @ Harbor Freight

Tomorrow I'll have to get a 1/2" torque wrench since I currently only have a 3/8's and it only goes up to like 80 ft lbs. Tired. Good news is most of the non-body work is done. The body work I'm more worried or dreading more.
