    Rear brake lights arew barely engaging

    +1 Especially if you've been parking your car upside-down, such that the rain and mud can get to the switch, which is located near the top of the lever-arm for the pedal, behind the dash.

    White Smoke / Car Is Smoking White [Merged 7-9]

    Maybe I'm too late to this party, but unfiltered and uncontrolled open crankcase ventilation was outlawed in 2007.

    Enter a DESCRIPTIVE thread title here

    He said winter, so I'm thinking he wants AWD which rules out NA "DSMs." The ad has already been pulled from Craig's List, but it seemed entertaining; I especially loved the idea of having thick wheel spacers on a "rally car." In any event, the OP should probably just get a 15 year old Scooby...

    I'm a noob

    No text was needed, dude. Your thread-title was all the introduction we needed.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    It's not necessary if you don't lower the nose too much.As to availability of 17s ... maybe things have changed, but 17" R-compounds were a serious issue back when I autocrossed. We wanted something around 275/35/17, but they didn't exist.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    If you get them from True Choice, then, yes, they can be shortened before they are sent to you. You could also have them revalved, if you wish.Note, however, that you have chosen the worst time - by far - to have this work done. Most good places are totally backed up at this time of year.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    Just don't. Wait for the Konis and do it once. 750s would shred GR2s in a day or two.And, yes, with 750/325, a heavier rear bar would be nice.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    Yes. It's the rear springs and shocks that are key to ride quality. Another option, if you don't mind the risk the car-sickness on the highway, is 750-800 front and 300 rear with only the rear swaybar upgraded.

    Bent strut

    In general, weird camber won't cause wheel-hop, but a blown/ripped suspension bushing can cause both.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    My Avatar is the car on 17x8 +40 ASA IS6 wheels with 245/40/17s, lowered about an inch on Konis. I don't know if I have any other pictures. The car is long gone.

    Koni/Ground Control Questions

    It was something like $75 per shock to get them shortened. I think I used True Choice.As to 18"s ... wheel gap is from tire to fender, isn't it? The wheels are a side issue. Plus, when you lower the car with coilovers, that will take of it. Why make the car slower and less comfy just so a...

    How to install RRE lower tie bar??

    One of the cool things about having a huge skidplate is that it acts like a lower front tie-bar due to where it attaches to the car.The thing I said about a whole degree of camber was an overstatement, but I do remember losing a bit when I put it on. But you're only losing camber that exists...
