Welp, the 6gunracing hub swap is complete! The car is now running another set of 17x8 FN01RC's. Now, however, I can run more width than ever before on the 04 bolt pattern. Say hello to 17x10s baby! I wanted to help outline some of the project for everyone to know exactly what went on. Unfortunatly, my camera is borked and I couldnt borrow one in time for the swap Friday. A big thank you to...

Hey Alex, Just wanted to say thanks again. The rims were exactly as described, they're already on the car. :bigthumb:
A few pictures from the 6gun site... Hoppe's gear puller to remove the speed sensor and apply their machined collar. the collar with the speed gear el hub y knuckle remove the pin to allow knuckle housing to seperate throw it all back together and tighten the axel nut to the proper torque
Sounds like the PMs Ive been getting on iwsti lately :sx: But you've got an 06 and nothing to worry about
For additional information, please check out my replies to my camber plate thread and clay's RCE spring thread. Anyhoo, without further ado I do believe this is the setup I will be pursuing over the next month or so. I'll be throwing on a set of 05 sti takeoffs with RCE springs, RCE camber-plates (non-lowering), and group-n rear hardened strut mounts :wiggle:
i guess the passenger side goes faster than the drivers side then... it'll be like 2 AWD bikes racing
Much to my dismay, the springs are still NOT here. Brian and I have been attempting to get in touch with them and to no avail; if we do get someone, we request a tracking number and it never seems to make it back our way. This is frustrating and discouraging. Additionally, as more and more of the owners are picking up these springs there seems to be a hint of "too-much for the stock strut" in the air. I cannot atest to this as I havent received my springs yet; however, I had a nice chat with Ross (spazegun) and he feels quite the opposite on the issue. He's lovin' them. Also, I pulled the RCE camber plate order for now, I just dont think its necessary...yet p). Nevertheless, I just wanted to share my frustration with everyone. Hopefully, this week will be the lucky week for the car. I am also putting together a christmas list for the car. None of this is set in stone of course, but its fun to think up some new things to do.

Yeah I know this, the majority of them were out with SEMA...but what I couldnt understand is if we got the invoice already and they claimed they were shipping...why its been something like 10 days at this point?
We finally got in touch with kelly at rce, and after an unexplained 2 week delay, the springs will either ship out today or tomorrow!
Welp, springs arrived at RCE today and hopefully shipped out (forgot to call them to confirm). But, until then, some new goodies
Hah, so called up RCE today. Springs didnt arrive Friday (but that was what their tracking no. claimed). Myle's is expcting them in on Monday.
That's crazy man. Sucks, sorry to hear it. I know it's "out of their hands" since customs is holding things up, but the time that you have had to wait is reaching the ridiculous. I'm not 100% sure if I'm in this batch or not. I checked the status of the order in my GTWORX account. It still reads pending.
