    Took the day off and took some new pics...

    I have those badges too. BigChiefSmokem-Yes those are his (and my) badges in the link you posted. His just look a little lighter because of the angle of the pic or possibly the flash from the camera. They are textured too so that could have something to do with it. I ordered mine directly...

    Exhaust Tip Loose.

    I'm willing to bet you are hitting the sway bar. Lots of people have this problem, myself included. I was able to adjust the tailpipes to make it a little better, but I never got rid of it. I ended up selling it and got something else.

    18x11 wheels...can i do it?

    I have 18x11 CCWs on the back of my car. My car is lowered with the Eibach Prokit. I don't have any rubbing (even with the quad shocks still on) but I only have 295/35s.

    please dont yell at me.. need a quick response

    I have that same combo on my car, but the rears are 18x11. I have pics in my sig. Oh and to the original poster, that will fit fine. I used to have 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear with 275s and 315s and it fit with room to spare.

    rear swaybar hitting exhaust

    I had the same problem when I had my Magnaflow. I got it to the point where it would only hit on large bumps, but it got to the point where it would loosen the tips after a while. Annoyed me so much I got rid of it and got the Steeda catback. No more problems now.

    Tire height question

    335/35/17= 26.2" I have 295/35/18 which is 26.1" in the rear and 275/35/18 in the front which is 25.6" and I have no issues (I have ABS too). So for you a 275/40/17 which is 25.7" would work without any problems. Hope thats helpful.

    Plenum and Throttle Body

    I have the Dragon combo which is a bit cheaper than the Accufab, I think I paid around $360. Didn't make a huge difference, but I'm very happy with it.

    JLT RAI Question?

    Mine was a tight fit too. Try loosening all the clamps and mess around with it until you get a better fit. It was kind of a PITA at first but you'll get it.

    Need to lower front another 1/2"

    Hmmm, well I'm not too sure what to do. Lets look into the coilover route. My car is a 04 vert. If I got coilovers I would get MM for obvious reasons. I currently have Tokico HPs. I see they have a coilover kit for Tokicos, I'm wondering how they work with the HPs (I have the fox HPs as MM...

    Need to lower front another 1/2"

    I could do that, I really don't have anything against doing that, but I would like to see if I have any other options first (aside from coilovers). I've read through a lot of topics on that and it seems that, if done right, its ok on linear springs, but with progressives its a big no-no. Or is...

    I need to lower the front of my car another 1/2" over what I have now. My car is a 04 GT convertible with the Eibach prokit, No isolators. The rear sits perfect. What are my options?

    Steeda Pulleys

    I'm going to be installing my Steeda pulleys this weekend and I have a few questions. I noticed that the pulleys came with 2 bolts. The one that you use to start the crank pulley with and another bolt thats a little bit shorter and has a larger head on it (kind of like it has a washer on it...

    Steering wheel clank victims come in for good news

    So is the "clank" you refer to the creeking noice (seems like a creeking noice to me) that you get when you turn the wheel? If so I'm definatly going to try this. Thanks!

    Help, one side lower than the rest

    Check to see if the pigtails on the sping are both pointed to the drivers side. If one is in the wrong direction it would make the car uneven (not sure if it could be 1" uneven, but its worth checking into).
