Any spring will settle some. Preloaded means once installed the springs tight. Unloaded you can hold the strut in your hand and move the spring around. I'm sure the OEM is tight too since its compressed about an inch under the top hat, but the swifts 10kg vs 7 something OEM.

Also, i am unfamiliar with how traction arms work - do they replace the need for new toe bolts?

Selling these! Please buy! +15 in the fronts I think is a bad call. Check out my pics. You can see its already passed the fenders. Another 15mm I think will look bad.

Let the porting begin!!

you should replace the stock diff cover with a finned diff cover. that should also help a little.

If I got one for free I would. It'd be nice to drive it and see what the temps are, then change it and drive again. I don't think I've seen a back to back like that. If it didn't work and I paid that money and labor I'd cry haha.

Did you get around to installing the SPL rear diff bushings yet?

Yep. Biggest ******* pain ever! Used a bolt in the rear bushing and a plate on the other side with a nut and a 3 foot breaker bar on my 1/2" drive to suck the rear bushing into the subframe after it was in the freezer for a week. Took hours I think (lost all sense of time) mm by mm because every turn was like turning a few hundred pounds. Not to mention all by myself 3 feet off the ground and that god damn diff weighs 100 lbs! O and up and down, up and down to set the rear brake so I could take off and tighten the axle bolts and drive shaft bolts.

I hear and feel zero difference (but very loud exhaust). I'm glad they're there though because the OEM stuff is very soft. The whiteline rear bushing being poly will be a breeze to install!

Vrg37s · 03-02-2014, 09:36 PM

Glad to hear you got them installed. I know every DIY I ready shows its a huge PITA to change these things out. So your saying that you hear no difference in NVH cause of your loud exhaust? You do feel a performance difference right? Such as reduction of wheel hop (if you were getting any in the first place)? Just an expensive and intense mod if your not really feeling any difference over oem. Were your oem bushings blown btw? Thanks

After MONTHS of trying to figure out who was the member that made a DIY CAI....FINALLY!!... ok heres my questions, What Diameter is Z1 Post maf tubes not sure if they're 3 or 2.5"?? Also using the stock Air Box MAF location tube and having 3" in diameter before and after of course may require a tune but is there any gain with going 3" or sticking with a 2.5" diameter is a better option??

They fit a 2.5" OD pipe. So their ID is probably 2.65".

It shouldn't need tuned since the car will add fuel based off the MAF in the smaller tube. Will 3" add power? Idk. I'm boring out the TB's, manifold and lower runnings to increase air and hopefully power so maybe it will.

First exhaust sounds.

Hope your speakers are better than my ipad because its way deeper and better in person. Hook it up to a tv.
