Happy turkey day everyone!

Thanks Eric for the steering column. I installed it last night with no problems. Yes, the air bag in the steering wheel didn't explode in my face.

Thanks Dan for setting off numerous car alarms in my neighborhood at 1:30 in the morning.

BTW: To those who may have forgotten, the mods are going on tomorrow. Hopefully going to order Pro3i CC plates, LCAs and steeda pullies tonight. Should be ordering shocks, struts and tower brace within the next few weeks. :banger:

I've decided to not get pullies and spend the money on something else. I guess if maybe I got the T/A, too, it might make a difference, but I don't want to run premium gas. So, I was just looking again in partshopper, what about subframe connecters? Worth the $70 or so bucks to get them?

Alright, so subs are worth it. Should I go with pro3i again, or someone else, like Griggs? Also, it's showing either Full length, tube or round subs, what's the difference?

i think griggs or some body like that i have no exp, with pro3i
you are lowering your car right i would go with the square tube type just for ground clearance . i have steedas on my hatch they have braces that the seats bolt to i dont think they have them for your car? full lengths are nice really needed im not so shure

Blah, it's too late to decide on this. I'll just go with the CCs and LCAs.

If your going to even bother with SFC's, get the full length. The short ones don't really do a whole lot and cost almost as much. If you want to save some money the Mathis book has plans on building your own. I used those plans to build the full length ones on my coupe and they work great.

Well, as Dan mentioned, I have my exhaust on. My car smells hideous, but sounds great! It finally sits right with the springs, too. Didn't have much of a chance to lean into it today, but it feels like i lost some low end, but it pulls strong above 3k. More reports to come.
