killer bee coils are bad!!!

they do not have good seals so you will leak oil and they have a tendency to fail prematurely but only as soon as the warrenty is up.

get the buddy clubs or possibly the showa strut/spring combo. that would suit you better.

t1r b52's break too easily and the skunk2's are for looks.

i did not install an intercooler cause that comes with the turbo.
i got the weapon r intake. dam it makes a cool noise and it helps pull really good.

the turbo will see 8 psi or possibly 10psi but no higher than that. this is my dd and im not tracking it yet.

i have been researching the crap out of all aftermarket stuff for the fit.

i have some time on my hands.

mike you should just get the j's or spoon or mugen showa suspension setup in that order. these are the best setups for a non track dedicated fit.

guys who actually race their fits love these suspenion setups better than the coils for the fit.

Yeah I actually had totally spaced the J's/Showa setup.

You and I need to start building up together.

move over here then.

hmmm.... i have been researching suspension setups alot lately and i think im gonna stay with the skunk2 springs cause of their spring rates and just add either showa struts or t1r struts.

turbo will take car of my power delivery. then will come the light weight mods and maybe a custom rear cage.

mike just upgrade your struts, brake pads, lines, and rotors in that order. it will help your car completely. go with the t1r struts or if you got money then do the showa.

bigg kidd i just checked and it is the m10 bolt.

Thanks Kyler. I know what I need. I just can't decide on what I want to buy right now. My plan is for the Showa's and project mu. I just can't decide if i want to spend the money right now.

True but remember too that this car is not just a street car starting this spring it will be also used on the road course come April. Mu's are surely overkill right now but i'd rather not buy pads, lines and rotors just to swap them out next season.

I need to call Ben and see what the eta would be on a set of J's dampers.

just go with upgraded pads and lines for now since they are cheapest.

i agree on the not replacing parts over and over.
