I'm interested to see if anyone has my specific spring/shock setup and where they are setting the shocks. Anyone here with SP080's/Konis combo? Where've you got the shocks at? I've gone anywhere from dead in the middle (1.25 turns off full soft) and full soft and some settings inbetween. Still...

Are there any all season tires with grip comparable to a summer tire? I want to replace my AS Pirelli tires which aren't doing me any favors, but I don't want to have to buy 2 sets of tires for summer and winter. I live in the DC area so dealing with snow is reality. I can't hookup when going...

Anyone break their stock rear shock mounts after installing aftermarket shocks? Thanks.

Ok I'm looking for some help. Recently I installed a JLT CAI and tune - I was out the other day testing the car out - I'm in advancetrac sport mode - I go WOT in 1st gear and shift just back 6500 RPM - As I go into 2nd, the engine cuts power and I see a yellow light flash and then the car...

Since there's been a lot of exhaust talk recently, I thought would share my experiences with the Gibson catback. I chose the stainless model. First off, I think this exhaust looks amazing. I am very happy with the overall fitment and quality of this system, except for the clamps weren't good...

As some of you may know, I installed a Steeda CAI not too long. Initially wasn't too impressed with it and thought my car was actually slower than before. After driving it for awhile and after receiving a tune revision - I think I can feel a difference. It's seems to be happier to rev and and...

I have the BMR SP080s and I am not sure if the shop that installed them trimmed the bumpstops. But anyway, hypothetically, if I have these springs and have not trimmed the bumpstops, what would happen? Just a harsher ride perhaps? I'm just trying to understand.

I've read some threads on here re: the vaccuum boost gauge for the V8s, and I have some questions. How can I determine if I have normal readings? How would I know if I have a slight vacuum leak? I've read some articles which leads me to believe that the vaccuum gauge can tell me some...

So a few weeks ago I posted about a clunk noise coming from my right rear. When I would take off from a stop, I could hear a loud clunk. Took it the shop that I had the work done, and it turned out to be the LCA bolt had worked its way slightly loose. Fixed. They re-torqued everything and I was...

I have a question about the JLT CAI. Does this system include the full air box with the air duct that connects through the hole in the grille? I have a Steeda CAI and am interested in trying a JLT to see if I like it better. Only problem is I had to modify the stock air duct in order to fit it...

So, I've pretty much decided I am going to get some RTR Tech 7 wheels either in charcoal or in black, leaning towards the black. I want to go with 19s. What wheels should I go with? I want a square setup so I can rotate my tires. I've been running Pirelli AS 18s since I bought car. 14,000 miles...

Right now I am running the stock Pirelli 18x8s and am considering 19s, maybe 9.5-10" wide. My car is also lowered. Will I need an alignment for bigger tires and rims? Thanks.

I'm trying to datalog my tune. I created the datalog files using Livewire II, but when I use the SCT updater software, I can't transfer the files to my SCT X4 device. Every time I go to transfer it, the program stops responding. When I go to gauges/datalog on the device,and then configuration, I...

Ok guys, so after much frustration I was able to install (I think) the Steeda CAI. I had a heck of a time getting the intake tube into the MAF housing and getting the hoses in. Those rubber grommets are a PITA! My god. So I loaded the custom Bama tune - I let it idle for about 10 minutes...

Ok so I have a Steeda CAI waiting here, and I don't know what tools I need. I didn't see a list in the instructions. Can someone lend a hand to a noob car guy? Pretty confident in installing it, just want to make sure I use the right tools for the job.

Hi all, as some of you know I did some suspension upgrades recently. Car handles great but I have recently noticed a clunk/thud noise coming from the rear suspension. It happens occasionally while hitting the gas from a complete stop. And by hit, I mean not hard. I'm not abusing it. Any idea...

I am wondering, how do I adjust the rear shocks with the Konis? I assume I will need to jack up the car in order to get at the adjustment. Any recommendations for an inexpensive jack?

In the description. What do I need to do to install this? Is it straight forward?

I am looking to get a CAI but am having a hard time making a decision as to which one. I am sort've leaning towards the JLT, but I have seen some accounts of owners having water getting onto or into the air filter. I wash my car myself frequently and also it rains a lot here, so I do not want to...

On my way home from work I noticed that my battery voltage gauge was fluctuating. At times, it would go as low as 12.2 or 12.4 stopped at light. At certain times driving it would go back up to 14.1V but it seemed to fluctuate from 12 to 13 to 14 and back down again. I had a catback exhaust...
