I am expected to be there at 10am. Will be there for a couple of hours installing things.


They go to the meet sometimes. Doesn't have to be at a meet where they can help you out though. But again, I would advise you get professional master mechanic insight. None of the members that go to the meets are master mechanics.

 

True, I will be just dropping by RBMS to check out the place to see if I like it and see maybe they can just inspect for me real quick while consulting with them about future work. I was actually thinking of heading there around 10:30-11 so I may catch you there.

 

Word.

Not saying they'll do it again, but I got about 18 hours of labor last time for $700 (cash - magic happens when you pay that way) b/c it took longer than quoted. They good, they damn good.

Shop around and see what others have done, like Jourdan's 22mm rear para exemplar, and the guys at Speedelement can steer you right (cue drum kit) on the matter too.

The install is pretty easy, just gets a little dirsty going under the car. If I bring ramps and tools, we can do it at the meet even. Two people, might take half an hour tops.

 

That would actually be pretty awesome. I do plan on getting sways and new brake pads this week. I'll see what people are selling whitelines for.

 

Need to buy 09 downpipe with cats, have cash, need asap

 

Check the classifieds.

 

+1 on that

 

So, after visiting RBMS and having a good conversation with Mert, I decided to go home and start ordering my parts He said to order both sway bars and if I dont like the setup on the front to get rid of it. Pho, was that your car on the lift? Looked nice

Heres the list I am going with.. still trying to look for the dampners the springs are supposed to be with.



Before I buy anything I will come next meet and talk it over with everyone and see their opinion but, as for what I am seeing this build seems to be pretty solid for the suspension and what I want to go after but I am always open to suggestions.

 

That looks like a pretty good list. Do you plan to change wheels and tires later? Also, what did Mert say about your problem?

 

List looks good to me too.

 

oshrizak, I would also see if Swift makes Spec-R springs for your car. They would be a good option if you decide against or can't get RCE Yellows.

 

Mert actually mentioned those! But do they keep semi stock height? He said my problem consisted of due to stock springs. As for wheels I don't think I'll be changing those soon neither tires. I still have like 20k life on my stock Dunlop's and plan to upgrade to the Zii's. Maybe with tires I'll change wheels too.

 

Swift Spec-R Springs WRX 11+, STI 08+

 

Was just reading... Swift seems to drop the car similar to rce blacks. About 1 inch or so. Does 1 in really feel different? Edit: woops seems they are like rce yellows!!! I'm excited. I am wondering if anyone who goes to the meet has them so I can see

 

The spring rate is what will make it feel different more than the drop, unless you mean you don't want to also sit lower. You said you didn't want to lower at the meet, but as mentioned, with aftermarket springs that's not real likely. Only less lowering vs dropped. IMO, 1" is about right.
