Installed the 1" Subtle Solutions spacers today. A piece of cake and not as hard as the FSM made it seem (minimal interior panel removal).

 

The 1" spacers give the car a very subtle rake, which I like - preferred to the saggy butt. I was shooting for equalizing the front and rear wheel arches and I got a little bit more than that. Remember, the spacer height on the strut does not equal the lift at the wheel 1:1 because of suspension articulation. I got a little more than I was shooting for. I'd recommend a 3/4" spacer if you are shooting for equalizing the wheel arches (which technically would give you a rake but probably unnoticeable). Subtle Solutions was out of stock on those at the time I ordered.

 

I'd also recommend the aluminum spacers. They were a breeze to install. Everything bolted tight, no washers, no sloppiness. Easy as 1-2-3.

 

The lower control arm removal and replacement was a breeze. This is really a very easy job and - first time - took me all of a couple hours from first tool out to last tool away.

 

Recommended: Subtle Solutions 1" aluminum spacers to fix the saggy butt.

 

Off to get the wheel alignment tomorrow, just because.

Did you have to change the studs?

Link on the front page is dead, Teaser. Got another?

What about using the door edge trim they sell at the auto parts store? It has a u channel shape and very flexible. It should work! It's cheap too..like $3 for two pieces.

Or the trim they sell now for the lip on rims and you can get them in different colors.

Did you try WD 40?

Spray some on let it sit and then spray some more and try to wipe it away.

He had it wrapped..........

Benny,

Can I stop in at the dealership and pick up the parts or do I have to order online to get these prices?
