Word, maybe the new clips are hopefully better. Im sure I will see ya soon so I can check em out.

for these new suspension parts you got chris, do you need an alignment? I know some parts, after you put them on, it is "advised" to get an alignment. Just curious so when I get to my own suspension upgrades, I know.

Yeah under your car looks cool w/ the blue, black look.

Looks good Chris!

Chris05STi · 12-21-2006, 10:39 AM

Thanks guys. Yah I am going to get an alignment. I may try and sneak some more suspension parts in there before the alignment. I may have Ian do a quick alignment, and then after my suspension is completed...or near completion with the other parts I have up my sleeve, I will go to EuroTire and have them do a complete alignment with corner balancing!

I sent Chris's turbo out to Deadbolt today, but before boxing it up I took some pics:

This baby made some nice power for me (396WHP & 419WTQ on XX's dyno), i'm sure it's gonna make even more with the changes Chris is making to it.

JJ18Sniper · 12-22-2006, 10:56 AM

Turbo looks great Al... Chris is going to make it into a monster sized 49

Yea, I cant wait to see. How did your retune go?

Chris05STi · 12-24-2006, 01:17 PM

Got these a couple of days ago from a fellow member here....Cusco Zero 2E with E-Con, they are very nice.....the E-Con looks scary to install, but its just the wiring to each coilover plus the normal ground, power, and ignition wires for the unit...comes with a black box too! Should be installed sometime next week hopefully!

Ikon · 12-24-2006, 01:19 PM

that is awesome.. looks good

***evilSTi7*** · 12-24-2006, 05:14 PM

ah you finally got them, sweet. Just don't make them too low or you're going to loose that body kit of yours (and don't forget to get the car corner balanced).

Chris05STi · 12-24-2006, 06:01 PM

Thanks Jake. I am going to get it tuned at EuroTire

.

***evilSTi7*** · 12-24-2006, 06:30 PM

thats where i went. It's going to cost you $350 for the alignment, corner balance, and height adjustment. I would measure how high the car is now (from the middle of the rim to the fender) and not lower the front and rear by more than an inch. you also might want to have them do 2 camber set-up's for you. one for the track (like -2 front -1.5 rear) and one for the street (like -1.5 front and -1 rear).

Chris05STi · 12-24-2006, 10:32 PM

Thanks Jake for the info. I figured it would be that much. Yah, Renee and I were talking and he said that -2.2 in the front and -1.0 or something in the rear is the best setup for the street....we shall see!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
