I would like to lose the resonator and add that ktuner thing next, currently thinking of altering the grill scoop and hood duct.

Busy Morning, Koni Str.T and Progress spring install!

Also new plugs. One step colder for the Sprintex. Notice the dirty coil boot, turns out one of the original plugs was loose at 37K.

I can't help you on this. The collars go on the subframe, not related to your suspension problem.

Almost did this about a year ago, never got around to it. This should help you out, and for those who haven't seen this, check it out. Awesome and cheap. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-generation-ge-08-13/79951-diy-switchback-turn-parking-led-information.html

Could this be not enough spring preload in the back? There is a great suspension thread called suspension theory that might help you. At least it's A good read but you might find your answer.

Nice setup, guessing you're still on stock springs?

Congrats, I'm about 3 weeks into ownership of my Mugen mats too. I am surprised how much better quality they are vs the OEM's. I really like your Clazzios with the red stitching!

I have a set of nib progress springs I can get on the cheap since my friend sold his fit before installing them. How is the ride compared to stock?

Hot damn! Those are exactly the clazzios I've dreamed of, and they look really good. Just trying to justify dropping $600 on 'em. If you ever sell them lmk

Finally got around to wiring some glove box leds, they're pretty handy I must say.

Thanks! I found the mats on eBay for a price I just couldn't pass up. I love red as a highlight color so I have a few other red things in/around the car.

Haha. I just put them in, but I shall let you know. The difference in quality and feel over the stock seats is remarkable. I read a lot about that on these forums, but you really never truly understand how good an improvement they are until you have a seat. Mine were a bit over $300 because Bean Garage had a clear-out last last year and had them in stock.

That looks amazing! Still gotta do that, and some footwell LEDs too!

I would say the ride is slightly harsher over bad roads, but completely acceptable (I say acceptable because the wife has not complained). The body roll is greatly reduced in cornering, braking and accelerating. Some of the wiggle at highway speeds 65+ is gone too.
For the price and effort of the install, I should have done this a long time ago.
