Hey dude, I saw your car in a Lincoln technical Institute commercial last night

 

Ive done 2 or 3 installs, I dont have air tools though so we ran into problems on the last install that Myardor was talking about. If you have a 2006 or newer the bolts should be able to come off by hand, but these were practically welded on with age.

 

mines an 07...when would you be available ross?

 

I can do it if you don't mind coming to the DFW area; racing on Saturday, but free on Sunday

 

yeah I didn't even know about that until a few weeks ago, Sema gave them permission to film those clips and all, but nobody ever contacted me personally so I was like "huh?!?!" lol

 

You probably signed some type of release to get into SEMA right? They probably have rights to realease it. Still funny though considering you did not know, haha.

 

Took us a record 7 hours to do the install lol

Car's looking good though Chris

 

I am glade to see this I am in Springfield MO right now and there is no 8 help around here, but the Army is sending me to Ft. Sam Houston in SA in March for 2 years glade to know there is a good crew.

 

Pics?

 

PICS TOMORROW...couldnt have done it without ross' super human strength! lol

 

Yea he looks like he has wiry strength. I would have helped if you had done it next weekend. Sorry. Are you going to need spacers now? Don't forget it will settle more over time and be a little lower/more negative camber. Also, don't forget to get your car aligned soon after it finishes settling.

 

oh should i not get the car aligned immediately? and yes im gonna pickup some spacers haha..whats a good brand again?

 

How much are you needing to space them out? 5mm spacers are less than $20 for 4 of them shipped off ebay but 10mm-25mm spacers are ~$110 for a pair. I'll help you out once you tell me how much you need them spaced out.

 

5 in the back 15 in the front i think

 

8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back with +36 offset? 245/40 in the front and 275/35 in the back is what you are going to do right? I think 15mm in the front is a little extreme. Start with a 5mm spacer and if you want more, then go 10mm.

 

you said 275/30 and 245/35 last time didnt you? if the front are way more sunken in than the back and im putting a 5 on the back shouldnt i at least go with a 10 in the front?

 

I forgot those are 19" rims. You can try 10mm spacers in front if you want. If they are too aggressive, then you just have to switch it to 5mm spacers. Not a big deal at all. For 10mm spacers, look on evolutionm.net for 10mm project kics spacers with the bolts built in. They should be $110 or more preferably $100 shipped. Mitsu Evolutions have the same size hubs and everything so it's the best place to look.

For 5mm spacers (aka 3/16" or 1/4"), get some cheap set from a tire place or ebay. Just make sure the hub size is greater than or equal to 67.1 and will fit 5x114.3 studs. I swear I got my 5mm set off ebay for like $7 shipped but I can't find any that cheap anymore.

 

Its awesome you got them on! I have been too busy. I have three exams this week, work and I barely have time to work on my own car. Sorry buddy

Get an alignment after a good week of driving or so. Enough time for the suspension to settle down. If you need a good place to go for an alignment there are two legit shops in Houston specialized in lowered cars (SW Alignment & One Stop). But if you don't care too much...NTB has in ground alignment racks with unlimited visits for 5 year plans or less. Firestone has lifetime alignments.

 

yeah true that, they have it listed on their site so basically it's a nice way of saying, "come to our show and you're our bitch for a week" lol I wish I could go back this year as a spectator but it's not very likely, oh well, maybe next year or somethin'.

 

What? You did not tell me when so I could at least watch?
And to think I had my digi ready.
How do you expect me to do mine if I do not at least see how its done?
I still have to do mine. .....sooner or later..no rush.

 

Ah my bad man. It was kind of last minute, otherwise I would have posted to see if anyone else needed help.

Here are complete DIY though which are helpful: Front; Rear

i texted you dude =[

 

What size tires are on there now? My one gripe with s-techs is that the rear isn't quite low enough. It'll look really good with the wider tires later on.

 

235/35/19 on there now...lol
