THE RZA Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 i never put them on because they drop the car so low i would need to get new struts as well, I ended up going with the BC sports coilovers instead and 18 x8 Ultra Leggera's and i havent decided whether to put them on yet or just wait until the spring when i'll have either my summer tires for the Leggera's or when if i get the LGT in the spring, putting the coilovers on and off isnt fun. If you want to go coilovers go with the BC racing they're 900 for full set and i have heard nothing but good things about them. But if you really wanna go Springs go with Rallitek, Cobb or Swift they're a better spring for handling than the S-techs are, S-techs are more of a lowering spring, thats why they're so cheap.

Ahhh I knew there was a reason for the price gap thanks for the info. I have spring compressors and pneumatic tools on hand so coils won't be that bad of an install. I put a set of coils on my Grand Am back when I was in college took about 3 hours total and another hour for adjustments etc. That was my first set every installing since then ive put on or assisted in 2 others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in a Municipal Government is private with that said plans to a generic Walgreens can be posted all day on the net you can even buy the same set from the firm that drafted them:lol: Im a Planning and Zoning Economic Director for a small locality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Why did I buy a header and Im the guy that started this thread in addition to another thread pertaining to UEL exhausts??? So when it is all said and done we will have all three trains of thought RS style, LGT/WRX modified, and custom built UEL as a bolt on for 06+ And the EJ20k manifold I had cracked and isnt usable so I have to find a EJ255 one this time so in the mean time this will do.

GEE-OTTO Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 trust me, I've gone too far to stop now. I will continue. Quick Question what gauge wire did you use when you spliced the O2 sensor to extend it ???????? you got a pic of that if not just the wire details will do???

shtbxr22 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I had a spare engine harness and O2 sensor lying around. The rest is pretty much self explanatory. "snip-snip" whatever the guage is, it's identical to the sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shtbxr22 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 it might be the lightweight pulley/intake spacers/exhaust combo. still feels slow, but we'll see the video when I get some laughing gas. yeehaw!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massdrewski Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think it is the hog-zaust fumes that you are looking for shtbxr22. in the end it all comes down to how you drive it. He has it in Sport and slamming it to the extrememe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1218 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 That is a really nice sound with XO2 cans, sounds better than my car did with XO2 cans, don't take resonator out. I have Greddy Evo2 now and I'm thinking about welding resonator in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I have been meaning to ask you but since you use the second cat again as the primary now do you think it is sufficient ??? Im gonna chop up the mid pipe this weekend and use the second cat as the main cat upstream of the resonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
