Nope...brake fluid:

Ate super blue or motul? Seem to have similar boiling points and I probably won't track the car. Is one better than the other for street use?

Installing springs this week got me thinking, as I'm considering getting coils next spring if I'm not happy with the drop or if the front struts on the x blow...

1. Is there any way to "plan" your height adjustments with coils or is it all trial and error with repeated jacking up and taking wheels off and on?

2. Any trouble with the shock mounting points on the rear handling the extra load with coils? (since oem springs are separate)

3. Are people leaving empty rear lower spring supports on or taking them off to save a little weight?

The y-pipe does not control emissions so why would your car not pass smog. I'm guessing that if your exhaust is carb legal you should be ok, even in cali but I'm not sure.

1. Not too sure, maybe someone else can elaborate. But if you know how much it drops the car, you can measure upward to figure out how much of a drop you want. Ex: If it drops the car 4" and you want a 3" drop, measure 1" up from the lowest setting point on the coilover. Other than that, trial and error.

2. You mean with a true coilover setup? If so, I haven't had any at all and been driving with true coilovers for quite some time now and I've even had a few bigger dudes in the backseat (no homos)

3. Leave that spring bucket there. It's VERY light. Only time you take it off is if you're replacing it with a toe arm. If you remove it, there goes your toe.

RLQT must be on first page at all times (though not sticky, because nobody reads those )

Heyyy guys, I tried to fit the jack, it still didnt work


BTW the other day I was admiring my car, then I realized how boring our lower vents look on the 05-06's. Maybe someone should make us some inserts for those vents kinda like the nismo style. Anythoughts on this? or other options? Please no billet grilles. lol.

I would like to see other options as well. I'm not a big fan of the honeycomb black plastic.
