So at 3 I will be there waiting for my car to get done, ahhhhhhhhh I feel a little better now.

I am going stay within stock range I hope if not try to max out the camber from the stock camber bolts. Not sure about Toe as I would like to have these tires last a while, but we'll see about that

I had my alignment done at Auto Innovations, I was NOT impressed. They only aligned my front wheels and did a rather poor job. They got it in the neighborhood of where I wanted (and knew) my numbers should be. Check out Roger Kraus Tires in Castro Valley. (510)582-5031. They do a much better job.

wow. completely different that my experience there.
i went there with the '04 sti. they did exactly as i asked.
took the mx-5 there. they did exactly what i asked, and even invited my under the car to show me a few things that would be of interest for me if i was planning to re-align it multiple times

i am planning to take the '08 sti there too when i feel the need to re align it.

Well I know Brandon personally. I left him a message hopefully he returns my call before I make my trip down to AI. I guess I can always call AI and let them know I only need the rear springs done. Either way I need the job done, I would go to Kraus but I do not want to put on the springs and drive too far w/o aligning the front end and what not. Either way I will have it done somehow or somewhere and if I need to I will have Kraus re-check their work after a few weeks.

interesting... although i don't feel that i need more lights. the stock HID's are plenty bright

i wonder what the two openings in the bumper lip are though. brake cooling ducts behind those?

^^^hmmm.i'm not sure, maybe they are just for looks, kind of like the bottom of the wrx's bumper holes(just kind of like those) but i'm not sure....sure looks sweet though

esqdgg · 06-30-2008, 12:31 PM

will those fit on say an 05? i guess i will have the room to put em in with the jdm bumper going in...

KiTsuNe · 06-30-2008, 12:36 PM

I dont think it will fit on an 04-05, you would need to cut the bumper itself to get it to fit.

jdm ion fogs ftw!!! i love those...ion fogs+vlimited=sex!
