The 18x10.5 +22 will do for now, I guess...

ah, makes sense.. looks decently low as is.

i have a pretty conservative drop also and i can't imagine going any lower for a DD.

I already have to take off the front mount license plate when i go up my parent's driveway

yeah so i just went through like 3 DYI's on custome intakes and I think some of them are not such a bad idea!....and cheap...but i will still want to get a AEM/MS intake...they are the same ****...but yeah because a AEM intake u can always re'sell on the forum...so thats what im leaning towards.....AEM.... or the mode of remvoing walla and 1 screen with the RAM DUCT from Racing Beat... either one or the other...and BTW RENESIS YOU ARE GOING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROJECT! and also...I think the 2 wall mod+screen removal with the REVI RAM DUCT will look way way better....however....what about the rain? with the duct? Keep in mind i already have the KN drop in filter...

edit: Just found out that RXDOOGONE might trade in his 8 or sell it!!! OH NOES!!!

I did a custom duct with a pvc pipe lowered my intake temp by about 40 degrees I also put in a k&N panel filter.

Don't worry about rain unless you drive through a puddle about 2 feet deep.

little sprinkles of rain are fine they will turn to vapor before it even hits the maf.

as for intake choices you wont need any ram air duct if your not utilizing the stock box or the RB box its essentially pointless.

you'd gain more by taking out the vfad and all ducting with it.

I can help you with whatever to, we can do your intake and springs in the same day.
