Alright guys my question which has been asked a million times but i cant find it anywhere... I am purchasing BC Coilovers today and intend on keeping near OEM ride height during the winter (need snow clearance), but SLAMMING in the summer (April or so of next year).
My question is with the BC racing maxxed out on the low side, will i need a front camber kit? I know the eibach is like half the price but will it adjust enough? Do i need the SPC or SPL kit (which one?). Also, would you guys recommend doing sway bars at the same time or waiting? Thinking about going coilovers then when i slam for summer going with some sways and the front camber kit. I have an alignment connection so i can get aligned whenever i want for free... Also endlinks are a concern. I can grease the hell out of everything but i am VERY annoyed by squeaks/noises. I have slammed many cars without any noises, just want to do the same on this car!

I wouldn't recommend you getting the SPL front end links cuz I still hear squeaks but definately the the camber

There's nothing wrong with getting a custom exhaust from a shop, provided they do good work. Something like a Magnaflow is much higher quality than the Megan crap, and you can also design it however you like to suit your tastes.
I say go custom!

I guess maybe I shouldn't say it's crap, but the quality is pretty questionable. There's usually a reason why the stuff is so cheap. It's definitely not the quality of a company like Magnaflow that has been around for a long time and has a lifetime warranty on their stuff.

How smooth are your cars on the highway..i drove 4 1st gen sedans (trying to buy one)..all have light grinding vib in wheel and seat at like 75+..are they all like this? wtf
It seems like all the tires on the cars i drove have heel to toe wear on outside..my 07 X has the same thing..is it just the AWD on these cars?

Its pretty hard to tell anything over the web, if 4 different G's did the same exact thing then its probably normal and you just need to stop thinking so much about it lol

What car did you drive before the G? 60-100ish feels pretty much the same. The Passenger seat does vibrate a bit but does it matter? Almost every car I have been in passenger seat shakes if no one is in it. The person sitting in it does not feel a thing. I have sat in the seat too no differences from the Driver seat.

One of our members (Danny, AKA thescreensavers) actually put his phone in the engine bay to record the sound.
It's the ABS pump priming... for some reason it doesn't do this until you hit about 10mph

I had it done when I installed my tires, and My mom of all people noticed how much smother my car was compared to my Dads LS430, why? Its all in the Balance. It means a lot.

This is perfectly how it sounds like. But, this didn't use to come before. it just started a couple of weeks back. Why would that happen. Is it pronounced in winters and not in summer?
