Cars looking great bro! Hows those extended ball joints feel? Looks like it places the lower control arm at a much better angle

Thanks sir! When I took the car thru the twisties last weekend, I noticed that I could take corners a tad sharper than I'm used to. Mind you I haven't re-dialed in a new alignment yet, but from what these RCAs are suppose to do, I think it's working. Someone needs to test drive my car to validate!!

Cheers

nothing wrong with selling TE's if they fit better than the works.

for me though, not that anyones asking, if i was to do the GK, the front would be tucked 10mm from that offset u have pictured, 10mm narrower tires front and rear and a tad more neg camber on the front.. and decent power (200hp/200ft/lbs minimum) from the engine and LSD to support the stance.

Went with the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s in 205/50/16. Took the car up thru the twisties this morning, and the tires exceeded my expectations. Nice tires so far.

Awesome build man! We're very like minded in terms of mods.

can you give a review of the rv6 downpipe? Very interested to pair it with my ktuner but worried it might be too loud, what's your opinion on it, how's it sound under load?

Thanks and again, awesome build!

hey thanks brotha! Just tryna share as much as I can with the community.

The RV6 Catless DP has been awesome so far. You definitely feel more power in the mid-range that was restricted by the OEM piping. Coupled with my HKS cool style, the exhaust note is not as loud, but some folks here have reported raspiness around the 3200-3600 RPM range... I am validating that it does sound a little raspy, but not obnoxious like.. I think it would be bearable with the OEM muffler. There's a video I posted in my thread if u was hear it while I rev at standing.. sounds different when the car is under load obviously.. I actually love how it sounds.. I've been meaning to share an in-cabin video of the car in action, i should do that for Memorial Day! Haha, anyways with KTuner and Reflash uploaded, you will experience a little more "popping" noises like its running a little more lean (which i think is the case) almost like i have anti-lag haha.. the only con is the exhaust smell and fumes, if i could do it all over again, i might've just paid the extra 100 for the catted version... hope this helps with your decision. Honestly speaking.. go get it, you won't regret it! Cheers!
