So i have a question. I read that the front sway bar needs to be loosened and then tightened while under load to reset proper tension. Is this correct? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Still have the height adjustments to make cuz it's pouring right now but when I'm done it would be nice to have everything perfect
PS. Took her for a ride at her current height. Had no issues going over bumps and into parking lots. No weird noises that I've heard yet. Just scraped my exhaust a little coming off the driveway. But as long as I go on/off at an angle I'm fine.
Other than that, the ride is stiffer than stock but feels more comfortable being low. Just my opinion. Maybe a little less bouncy compared to stock

I think I got it dialed in to where I like it. Could probably go a little higher in the rear but I'm not scraping or making any noises. Slightly scraping my exhaust backing into the driveway straight in but other than that no issues. What do you guys think? Besides dirty lol. It's been raining and snowing here. Haven't has time to clean her yet.

To raise the back more I may have to take the rear apart because the adjustment wasn't working the greatest on the drivers side. Mustve got dirt and crap in there already. As for the front, the roads here can be really bumpy and I don't want to risk rubbing or damage to the fender/ fender liner

Took the rear apart today. Adjusted the camber arms and softened the dampers. Ride is amazingly smooth now!!! Updated the coil install progression post (2 posts previous to this one). Think it looks damn near perfect. Maybe a slight drop in the front but the rear is perfect now. No scraping whatsoever anymore.

You're selling your house?
It's not my house, I rent a room here with one of my coworkers. My coworkers friend owns the house and it's a really good rate for rent in a very expensive small town

Got this FW1 cleaner/ wax from a friend and was able to wax my whole car this afternoon. It looks great!! Minimized appearance of any scratches and gave her a smooth and shiny finish. Almost as good as the day I got her.

I love this colour so much. If only it would stay this clean hahaha. And too bad it was cloudy today. This colour lives for the sun!

Tried wrapping interior door grips with Carbon fiber but there were too many sharp edges and didn't turn out well, so I painted them Pearl Black with left over paint I had from painting my lip

Update on the shift knob. The 490 spherical knob is out of stock everywhere that ships to Canada. Everywhere else charges as much for shipping as the knob itself, so I'm going with the 440g 6 speed knob in torch blue.

Hey, did you ever got them muteki lug nuts on yet? I was thinking about getting a set but get them in burnt blue or neo chrome.

Congratz on ROTM! Did you try using a heat gun for the wrap? Is there a link or possibly a quick tutorial on how to remove door rail
