According to the specs there should be something between 2-2.5" of adjustment and that includes some UP believe it or not but I will probably drop it around 1.25" + or - another 1/4"

I know this is probably in this post somewhere but are your taillights aftermarket or did you modify the stock ones? Thanks

They are indeed aftermarket. They are smoked DEPO LED tails off of ebay. So far they are amazing and not that expensive at all.

Last email i got from A'PEXi, they were coming down to a final choice for springs and then putting it into production. That will probably take a week or two and then the are being shipped to CA, then to all the members of the GB. So i am guessing as an estimate, I should have them in hand mid may???

I am really hoping i have time to install before my trip down to the East coast tuning meet in june.

Thanks! There is definitely no power loss but instead I feel a little more pull in acceleration. It isn't much but I've noticed it which is pretty cool.

Updatesss:

I just received all of the new parts to REDO my Custom SRI in order to integrate the new catch can i bought. I also got some new Rad hoses to install along with various sizes of silicone hoses to replace random engine bay hoses. I look forward to it when the weather gets nice enough to work outside for a good period of time.

Stay tuned for updates and pictures!

BTW: Installed Cheap Advance Speed C-Pillar bar and it was an EFFIN PITA! for 20 bucks i didn't expect anything else but it took some adjustments to just be able to install it.

If your thinking about installing one of these and need help, PM me for info on what i had to do!

Worth it, buy it ASAP. Great mod for sure! You're mileage might go down a bit for a few days, just a warning

What do you mean by both? o.0 I saw your post on Panson's ETC thread and he offers the Race version and the standard. They both cost the same and I believe the harness comes with it...I remember paying $130 shipped? or $125...nothing close to $300 lol.

Standard version resets the ETC to Normal mode after you turn off your car and the Race version leaves the mode to whatever you had it on last. I have the standard version, only because the Race version came out about 2 weeks after I bought mine lol.

I just got my ETC from Panson today, updates and such in my thread on the FI section..

I am gonna write a short review here after I finish a bit of HW.

Then a follow up in a few days.

I have the race version and spent most of the Day in SP7.

SP8 or 9 turn the throttle into a lightswitch and at say 15% throttle in normal mode where the engine might be turning around 2000rpm if you bump it up to SP9 it shoots to somewhere in the low-mid 4000rpm range!

So that makes anything but a tire spinning start a bit tough. But fun.

I like how much sharper it makes the throttle response. Between the ETC and being able to mess with VTEC settings when I get the FIC it should make for a ridiculously responsive turbo setup! For which almost all the parts have arrived..

The ETC lets me really take advantage of the few mods I have done so far (light wheels & tires, cold plugs and premium fuel)

The ETC lets us get to higher load at lower rpm, where the premium will really shine.

Only problem is I can't run my OBD2 logger while I have the ETC plugged in so I don't know what my timing/AFR's actually are till I have the FIC!
