If we have this install day, I wouldn't mind having people show me what I have to take off to get to my CAI filter...so that I can clean it.

If you have the money for coilovers then thats the best way to go, if not springs are a good alternative. It also depends on what u do with ur car - track/show/or just personal taste.

Strictly for my own personal taste. I just don't want to purchase just springs and bottom out every time I hit a pothole or what not.

Wil, save the cash and get coilovers. I was completely shocked at the ride after having springs for a year.

Will do. Good to hear from you Matt. How are things going? Anything you don't need on your car that you want to sell to me for a good price? hahaha.

so I installed some LED turn signal bulbs in my new 06 headlights... and they now hyperblink (blink way too fast). I know I need some load resistors:

But, I'm a total noob when it comes to anything electrical. Can anyone help out? How can I find a ground wire? I really hope I dont have to take the bumper off for this again...

i think we need the load resistors... unless that's what u'r talking about. but i could be completely wrong since my electrical skills are non-existant
