Nick I told you to get 205/45 the whole time!

Kayakman 215/40/18 is closer to stock than 225/40 and you should be able to get low with them without rubbing way too much depending on the offset

I have seen that bumper cover on a prefacelift bumper and the hood bra fits just fine

Till I'm in PA again for New Years.





****. If only my coils in the front weren't so hard to turn this wouldn't have happened... you can see how high the rear is.

Driving home last night I noticed my car shifting at weird RPM's, it just didn't feel right, so I knew my tranny pan was leaking bad. Woke up this morning to my mom saying "Nick there's a big puddle under your car..."

Perfect. I think I might have the car towed somewhere that they can weld the cracks, as opposed to replacing the whole thing again. I'd rather spend $20 on a weld then $400 on a whole new pan.

And then you should spend $100 on a custom tranny pan skid plate.

I won't have to worry about it once I'm in winter mode, if that ever happens. I think I'm going to find a street sign or something and use the subframe bolts from the panzer plate to attach it to the car. Hopefully it works.

I guess you haven't been reading my last few posts about winter mode... I would be raised right now if my coils weren't almost completely seized. That's why my rear is so high in that last picture because they only took 10 minutes to adjust.

****.

I guess I'll get my o2 sensor and rear pads/rotors done at the shop while they're putting in the tranny fluid too.
