Quote: planning to go coils next year. My tires are brand new and dont want to swap them out either. What is odd is that w/ springs (S-techs), my driver side tends to have more camber than passenger (both are the same camber)

Is it bad to run a touch more camber on one side?
as far as i know my rears are still at -2.6 and -2.0

any issues with handling? I am at -3 now. Need about 3mm clearance so will probably go to -3.3 on the passenger side.

Quote: Quick question... How do you remove the top two corners connecting to the bumper on a 05 sedan grill? Do i need pliers or screwdriver?
Yes. Pliers and a screwdriver.... and a hammer and a wedge and some TNT and possibly an M1 tank.

Ok srsly, they are a pain... I did mine with two flat-blade screwdrivers. YMMV

Perfect. I was going to go down to 5mm spacers. But i will stick with 10mm and run more camber on the passenger. Thx.

After installing my cai part onto my intake i noticed now that while the car is just sitting there idling at around 23-4 hundred rpm its starts to feel like its about to die and the rpm move around +/- 150 rpm, when i give it some gas its all fine but just at that low rpm it feels like its about to stall on me

does the stillen gen 1/2 exhaust provide any noticeable power gains? Or is it really for sound. The reason i asked is cause i saw somewhere that gains are about 20-30 hp.

It's based on the direction of the internal vanes of the rotor. If they are straight, it doesn't matter which direction they go in but most face the slits going towards the front of the car ///

This is important for the cooling of the rotors on those rotors that have directional vanes, espeically if you track the car

Here are some examples I found online
