ok i have art pipes z tube and a 5/16. i should be fine for now right?

 

You're running lean with those mods, but as long as you keep the car out of the upper rev band you should be OK. If you drive it hard like I do, you run the risk of causing ping and detonation which can damage your motor. I highly suggest you spend the $600 and get the Osiris tune from Uprev. It'll fix your A/F ratio among all the other benefits it offers. You'll also get the max HP possible by tying all of your mods together, maybe as much as a 15-20 HP gain over stock.

Just my .02................

 

Did you torque everything back to spec and get an alignment afterwards?

 

Make sure your upper strut mount bolts are really tight to start. I have a noise that occurs when the car is still and I turned the wheel to back out of a space. It's a low level pop/clank. It's my inner and outer tie rods. Ordered the parts for both sides yesterday. There's a DIY on here if you're unsure of what I'm mentioning.

 

Do steering wheel lights on 05+ dim with odometer and dash when turning the dimmer?

 

Ray after owning my car for 2 1/2 years I didn't have clue so I just went out and checked. Steering wheel controls do, but the door switches and console switches don't. Guess I don't know everything about my car.

 

No but is only the passenger side my mechanic
Cheked every thing yesterday and everthing looks good, but the passenger side is still falling too hard on pot holes, on the highway it feels great though.

Could it be the shocks.

 

Thanks for checking Tim, I put on the lighted steering wheel controls last week and found they don't dim with dash light, so just want to confirm if that's how they work in 05+. I'll look for the dimmable power source instead of the 12V power from VDC switch as instructed in the DIY.

Yeah after owning my car for 6 1/2 years I'm still learning something new about it every now and then. I guess I wasn't learning fast enough lol.

 

Most likely blew your struts/shocks. OEM's don't last long when paired with springs that have higher rates than your stock springs. What springs are you running btw? You may want to look into Tokico Dspecs or coilovers...

 

Im still on oem springs and and sport shocks and struts, this happened right after i replaced my crb's and i took a test drive.

 

Lol, sorry bud! I thought you were the guy with the noise after lowering spring install! Did you go with oem bushings or aftermarkets like whiteline? Ive heard the all metal bushings from some manufacturers get rid of the annoying squeak but can make the ride a little harsh...

 

Yea i went with energy suspension ones the ride does feel alot firmer like if i wa on coils lol

 

doesn't seem like that much of an upgrade from the 05 brakes. i was thinking about it but eh may just save up and go BBK

 

Where can i buy front endlinks and sway bar end links for a good price

18 and 23 bucks for L and R OEM endlinks cheapest around, if you have an 03-04 make sure to buy 05-06 swaybar endlinks as they were revised and beefed up.

They are easy as heck to install.
