Fourunnerguy's 2013 GE8 Sport

Just wanted to say hello! Picked up my 2013 sport with 35k on 6/22 and am loving it so far!

I’ve already done a few things to the car as well as bought some parts.

Upgraded all front lighting using Auxbeam LED headlights, Nokya bulbs for the fog lights and some leftover LED for the parking lights.



Also had new coilovers arrive last weekend!



I also currently have wheels on the way from Japan!

sweet find! not sure uf ur aware of spark plug issues with our cars or not...if not research within fitfreak.

long story short..the spark plugs can potentially back themselves out..

id buy replacement plugs...then check torque values of the ones currently installed. if they are loose id replace with fresh ones vs tightening existing ones. i personally am treating the plugs crushwashers as a "one time use" item.

Dang, great find! You must have had the same owner that I bought my minivan from. It's a 2013 that had less than 34K on it also.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to look into it!

Thats cause it is! I was in a hurry that day to get done and didn’t read I needed to raise the rear. Since then I’ve adjusted the shocks for the height and plan on lowering the front a bit.

Thanks! Yes, I’m in shock how well these ride!

The spring rates really soft for the Flex Z; I mean really soft. I just picked up a set for my own car and the rates are 4 kg/mm up front and 2 kg/mm in the rear.

I haven't installed them yet, but I would imagine a compliant ride due to the soft spring rates and valving.

I'm definitely loving these so far! My last car has suspension limitations so I'm really only looking for something super comfortable right now. I have zero complaints with these!!

More progress!

Weds came in from Japan; going in a different direction so these are currently for sale.



Also got JDM tails on and lowered the front a little more!



Got to test fit the Regas and got my SPG in!




Last but not least, more goodies going in soon! Waiting for the ASR hub to show.

ASR hub came in so I got to install my hub + spacer and GReddy x Boost Brigade wheel! I’m already selling this wheel and should be picking up a Mugen Racing 3 this weekend!
