Hey, whatup!? I met married04wrx (John) over at Sub Gwinnett on Tues while I was getting my new cusco zero2r coilovers corner weighted by Scott S. He referred me to the board - and I thought I'd register and see what's up! I have an 04 blue STI, running vishnu exede (tuned by :bowdown: shiv ), a catted TBE, cusco zero2r struts with 10k/8k springs, cusco front and rear swaybars (22mm/24mm), 18" ssr comps w/ falken 245/35 FK-451, a seibon oem carbon hood, and some jdm rear valences.. John told me that your always getting together to help people work on installs -- I'd really like some assistance clearing my headlights; I guess I'm just worried about putting them in the oven!! I live close to where 92 meets sandy plains rd.. anyone nearby? thejackal (Matt)
hey welcome aboard, sounds like you have a beast, any pics?? and im sure someone can help you with your headlights seeing as that was what everyone did the last "install" day.
Here is a pic before I installed the coilovers... this weekend I'll clean up the car and take some better shots ->
hey Matt welcome to the club! i live close to ya.we have a few members on this side of ATL. actually i know of 2 guys that still want to do the headlights on our side of town. ill keep you posted. we also have a install day in the making also. check out the Get 2 gether section of the forum. hey so SOG has the ability to weight balance your car? that has always been my fear of getting coilovers. i didnt want to lower and then be all off balance and handle like crap.
yep SOG has a nice lift and Scott uses scales to make fine adjustments to your ride height... he'll put it up on the scales and check the balance for like $75, then if you need major adjustments, it can't go past $150.. mine was only 20lbs off from left to right, and with one adjustment to the height of the front right, it was under 10... pretty much perfect for me!
Hehe sweet looking car, but i must say the carbon fiber hood makes it look like a rice macheen. ^.^. Welcome aboard.
ok now i can see it..very nice man..im thinking about getting a carbon hood..do you have to have hood pins for one or does the stock latch work fine?
I am pretty sure that hood pins are optional, but highly recommended for safety reasons. Pretty much has to do with getting into a front end collision.
whoa keep up off the cf man! J/K hood is lookin good. i was lookin into a groop buy for us bugeyes on the cf hood if anyone is interested.
yeah, hoodpins = safety... the hood doesn't bounce around or anything, uses the same latch as the stock hood.. your right, there is something about the carbon in person -- sometimes I look at pictures, and I'm like, yep, it's coming off.. but then I walk by the car and it's like dammmmmn that's hot
