so i replaced both my rear endlinks .. and installed my hotchkis sways finally lol

went to get the whiteline lower control arm bushings but they couldnt install them right away or do my alignment and i couldnt wait or go back that day.. so i bought the whiteline bushings ..n came home .. thinking il just get em installed locally ..

decided id go to a local good year for their free alignment check. figured why not ..

they said i needed a few adjustments to be back in spec and my stock L.C.A. bushings were in good shape . so i had them do the alignment and the car feels great . guess il install the L.C.A. bushings later on..... whene i upgrade more of my suspenion ..

=)

on a side note im getting that mysterious sound from the suspension .. probably the sways ...

You can take the 2 screws and clip out your fender liner shouldn't hang down. Mine stayed in place but part of it is missing now from rubbing my tire.

Is it just MY sedan or does our trunks SLAM every time it closes? We do have heavy trunks.

But does anyone else have this problem? Are are my dampers busted?

Dampers are probably effed.

Or at least with my coupe. The trunk didn't slam. I could actually keep it hovering open.

^2 1/4 inch, but they're really hard to find in that size. Most projectors that are close to that are 2 1/2, and that's just too big.

i found this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/50mm-18...s-optics-12834 which they have 50mm available and 66mm...i know they ususally have a little lip that can be shaved down if needed (around as a border)...i would like to put it in from the inside of the housing and have it sit flush with pressure

^Trouble is, it's closest to 60 or maybe 58mm.
I'm not sure you could trim enough off the 66mm to get it to fit.

I would be interested to see what you come up with though.

^From what I've heard, some of them grind them down

I know Papa Chris tried that route with little success, but he may have found another option... we should hear from him soon enough.

I have 2.5" TSX projector lenses in my turn signals. The opening of my turn signal housing was dremeled out a bit to make it larger. We installed the lenses from the inside of the housing vs placing it on top and secured it with some pretty strong glue.
