[sawatsky]

[lax22pearl]

welcome!

whats your fender to ground measurements?? that shit looks nice man

we talked about this, we need to start measuring from the handle!

[goon punch 3]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and comments. Right now its about 23inches all around. I wanna get some 8mm spacers for now. And imma take the front collar out when I get this corksport skid plate. My oem one is dragging

[joshb]

Looks good, looks a little high for 23", prolly just the wheels though.

Suggestion, Corksport plate sites something like an inch lower than the stock one, you're gonna drag that one alot more. I'm at 23" too, and just run without the stock tray. No problems...Yet. Haha.

[AustinY]

I'm at like 22.5 and still have the stock tray lolol

[lax22pearl]

i'm at lower than that with the stock tray. hahahaha 22 front fender. 22.5 rear fender

[bigblazer87]

If the Corksport one sits 1" lower than the stock tray, I definitely want one now, lol. I'm at 24.25" and it would make me in the pants to hear that thing scrape going over dips/bumps.

[joshb]

Fuck you all. Lol. Mine ripped off getting out of my apartment yesterday.

Bigblazer, I'd have one already if it was steel, i want to spray sparks more often hah

[bigblazer87]

I snagged mine pulling into work the other day and stripped out the front center bolt, lol.

Yeah I'd prefer a steel one, but I'm not sure how much having one custom made would cost... I might try going around to a couple local fabrication shops, but I'm skeptical.

[AustinY]

fuuu Brad just wait!!!

[mazdakevin]

yooooooooooooooooooo, welcome homieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[goon punch 3]

My oem one its all bent up cus of me hitting stuff when I was on springs and all my bolts flew out the other day when I hit a bump so its just pushed up for now cus I only drive it on mondays and its not exactly 23 its a lil higher

[joshb]

I took the front part of my OEM one off today, turned out two of the bolts had ripped out, but it had dragged and snagged so much that it wasn't usable. Haha. Diggin it though, nice to see more sedans getting into the game, especially 3i autos like me haha.

[goon punch 3]

Joshb I really like your car plus autos are baller lol. I think imma just buy another oem one soon hopefully its cheaper. Also I think imma go staggered 17x8s upfront and 17x9s in the rear. Anybody got any suggestions on a rear sway bar? My autox friend with a 3 want me to get overkill tri-point but I was gonna just get progress or racing beat. Any thoughts?

[ihartmyhatchie]

I know a couple of local guys that have the RB rear sway bar, and they seem to like it.

[lax22pearl]

lolol i honestly dont know how mine is still there. i have bigger problems like over heating

[dnick454]

Why you worried about sway bars and handling stuff and then putting a staggered setup on a FWD? Put 17x9 all around

[shaggylemur]

i second that!

[wonderment]

what he said.

[goon punch 3]

Only because right now I want a staggered setup later on ill do a more functional setup cus I still want some rpf1s.

[XCNuse]

Because "Stance" is boring with people that buy coilovers (or cut springs) and buy wheels....

[goon punch 3]

Nuse what type of rsb do you have? I really like the fitment and roll bar. I've wanted to get to front racing seats and harness bar myself. Oh size are the wheels too? Your car looks so clean

[XCNuse]

I have the hotchkis set, front and rear both set to stiff, they are great. Under steered like mad when I had just the front on stiff and no rear lol! I just got hotchkis because it's a kit including front and rear.

I'm getting corbeau fx1s, which I'm about to call the business back as I was supposed to get a confirm the seat came in this week.

Wheels are 17x8/9 no clue what offsets are though.

yeah.. i want rpfs on the side too if when i want functionality ahaha

Next time you have the wheels off measure the backspace and then use this converter to figure out your offset.

[XCNuse]

Yeah, I could, I just haven't done it yet lol.

I'll do it tomorrow and get some measurements.

[goon punch 3]

Actual height is 23.25 fronts and 23.50 rears. Few goodies coming too. Should I go with a hks carbon muffler, blast pipe, or a nice tip?
