Default Update... FInally Slammed!!!

The front still needs to drop 1/2in and the back fenders need to be rolled.

Just some camera phone picts i took today. I'll get some decent photos this weekend.

Looking good bud It has a similar stance to mine, mine needs another 20mm drop in the front.

So how are you finding the Megans?

Have not really had the chance to break them in yet. I just installed them last night and the alignment was so bad i couldnt drive it. I felt like i was in a mosh pit. The car was pulling in every direction lol. Aligned just the front this morning and was trying to get it done before work so its no where near perfect but the Toe and camber match which is good. I think they are around -2.4 in the front for both sides. The toe is almost perfect and the caster is all Fked up lol I'll get it squared away saturday. Then i'll hit up these back country roads i live around.

So far though they are real nice. I have the rear Dampers set pretty stiff because my fenders arent rolled and there is only 1/2in between the tire and the fender. That kinda sux because its real stiff in the back.... The front are about 4 clicks softer than the back.

Should I Boost it in the next 90 days... or go this route for 90 days....

Superstar Customs is going to do a custom airbrush job on my valve cover and a few interior pieces... gonna do a reflective Gunmetal for interior and valve cover.

- I need Projector headlamps because my HIDs are blinding lol
- small damage on right rear quarterpanel (hardly notice it) needs 2 b fixed
- AEM Rotors (Bigger rotors, stock calipers, and they r Black )
- Megan H-Brace (Front)
- DC Front and rear upper strut bars
- Progress front/rear lower sway bars
- Iridium Plugs
- B&M Short Shifter
- Black Grillcraft upper/lower grill
- In need of Trunk Latch (Mine is zip-tied shut right now lol)
- CarPuter - Courtesy of my buddy Chuck

I would honestly boost. just by thinking of your options and nothing else. I would get the engine and suspension done before a paintjob. paintjob is more vulnerable.

Well boost would be nice, but i'd get those little bits sorted first - i think you'l be much happier with the car boosted if everything else is in good shape. Plus it'd be a good idea to sort out the brakes and any braces you might want pre-boost so the upgrade in power is more controlled.

Just my 2p's.

i think you're putting it too low in the rear is all, you shouldn't need to roll your fenders.

The piece that turns in on the fender needs to be rolled up. It sticks inward 1/2in and the tire is just under it... maybe 1/2 from hitting it. Once i get home i'll take some better up close photos and show ya

if you're responding to me well i know what the fender is. i already rolled mine up. and the gap between that and the wheel is 1 1/2 finger gap. can i run 225 on +45 offset 18 in rims without rubbing. I don't rub currently on 0 camber and 0 toe.

I hope i'm understanding u correctly. i think i'm a tad bit lost.

The rear is just a hair lower than the front... u really can't notice by its stance... but there is a little more wheel gap in the front than the rear. I would have fixed it while installing them but a bad storm knocked out the power to the shop while i was adjusting the height... so i was in the dark w/ a flashlight trying to adjust them on a lift lol
