What springs were they? And how much of a drop was it? Kind of tempted if the price is good enough, though I'd rather get better shocks... who knows though.

I scrape bottom going in and out of my apartment if I have someone in my car as it is, so I'm hoping to avoid too much of a drop.

They are Tanabe's. Nice springs. They are less than a year old too.

Well, it looks like the springs would be a bit much of a drop unfortunately.

Welcome aboard!! Looking forward to meeting you. We can definitely help you install all those mods. But save your money and skip the pulley unless you just want it for bling.

You think these are really 10 pounds? I couldn't find anything but I don't think there is any way.

The Mazdaspeed is pretty quiet but expensive. 8maniac (a local member) had the RB catback with midpipe and it sounded good. Vids can be deceiving so you wanna try and hear in person.

In our group we have HKS single side with RB midpipe (8maniac), TurboXS catback and mid pipe (tbk), Borla custom no mid pipe(cornholio135), Stock with Magnaflow tips and SR motorsports midpipe (me), Borla catback (roland w/40th), Juan #2 (vr with Agency power catback), Juan #3 (VR with Greddy SP catback). I think that's it. All the others are stock I believe.

where it lists dimensions, it says 28 pounds lol

It's not listed on the wheel weight database so it's hard to say for sure. Since it's shipping dimensions, that might be the right shipped weight and most likely a little closer to 20 pounds on its own. Not much though.

Yeah 28lbs is a bit heavy (not much) but definitely not a track wheel. Thanks, I didn't see that.

I was actually telling Grungepup I wanted blue rims but he and Hoss told me I was nuts. I'm not sure how those colors would look with PB.

Anyone have the rubber accordion part of the intake they want to sell? Started up a thread in the FS section but figured I'd ask here. Thinking I'm going to get the throttle body spacer finally.
