Gonna do the powder on my wheels first then the exhaust in Nov and then look into spacers. I don't think I want to do coilovers with the FI exhaust on the car because y'know..sometimes there are speed bumps.

Good thing about coilovers is that they're adjustable

I'd want to do coils over springs for this reason, but I think I'm going to remain stock where that's concerned for a while.

speed bumps & pot holes are bad

Yeah I've looked at ground clearance with those "18 resonators on the exhaust and I'm better off not dropping the car. Even those scrape plates you mentioned are not guaranteed protection from an impact.

you've gotta learn to avoid the potholes and speedbumps! or just be very careful. You can scrape ALOT before your resonator actually cracks, but if you're not careful all it takes is one heavy impact and you've got a problem

Totally understandable.

Oh, i forgot to mention I picked up the Viper 5704 Security System on craigslist for an excellent price today.

eastwest2300 · 09-25-2012, 11:11 PM

Im thinking I start a thread for a mod party at my house, to install springs, and rear camber arms..i'd buy lunch and provide beer to all that attended.

Are you sure that's damage? It looks like you just got really really excited about how nice the lights turned out.
