It's a lot louder now with the intakes, especially at WOT. Will try to make a video of them soon, probably sometime this weekend.

The intakes at WOT between 3k-4k rpm sound so damn mean and awesome, but I haven't heard a peep out of my intakes since I put the exhaust on :icon17:

I can hear the difference even with my exhaust, but my exhaust isnt as loud as yours :icon17:

Getting my alignment done in a little bit so I will have updated pics of the drop probably sometime later this week.

Glokwork 09-27-2011 04:59 PM

Haha yes everyone says mine is really loud but I want it louder! I've heard great things about the berks and the swifts are great man you gonna love it. Little tighter overall but not a bad ride at all, the bumps are more harsh but that comes with the territory.

Yeah definitely love them. Scraped my car for the first time since getting dropped while pulling out of the driveway of the dealership :(

Gotta get sideways man. Yeah sometimes people get pissed when you block an entire entrance but it's not worth tearing up the whip

Never driven a lowered car before so im still learning and getting used to it. Good thing my front bumper is already ****** up :icon17:

Glokwork 09-27-2011 07:17 PM

It's all good man, it takes time. One thing I did when I lowered it was I took the front air guards off the under side of the front bumper. Before my drop I scraped going up my race ramps, after the drop and taking the air guards off I don't scrape :tup: 3 x10mm bolts on each one and cuts wayyyy down on the scraping!

My car never came with them installed :icon17:

Just scratched the passenger side skirt a bit.

Haha I want to see you get in/out of my driveway now that you are lowered... We know what happened last time when you backed out and forgot to angle. :rofl2:

In all seriousness though - I ended up having to buy some new curb ramps so mine could make it up the driveway. I left my front splitter and air guards on so I knew when to take it slow.

Yeah that would be fun to do :ugh2:

I never really have to deal with drive ways since I park in the lot at my apartment complex. The driveways that I do occasionally deal with are no where near as steep as yours. :icon17:

Yeah it was done around 9. Took like 2.5 hrs to do the alignment and resurface my brake rotors. Cost $50 for the alignment and $60 for the rotors. Definitely loving the new alignment with the zero toe setup, thanks for the recommendation Dan :tup:

Here's a teaser pic from right after the alignment, you can definitely see the drop now.
