I actually got my set of BBS for free. A fellow racer posted on the local FB page and said free to good home, must go this weekend. I drove 4 hours to go snag them up.
Yeah I've cut it too much before like a 1/2" too much cause I misread the instructions. A friend welded the entire piece back for me and I started over with it.
Actually, when l was doing my Koni upgrade, l wondered if l should do a spring upgrade.
I found that in testing that the weak link in the stock strut is the strut itself not the spring, so l went with the stock spring with the Koni setup
Mine only works when I open the trunk. I figured it'll be pretty cool if we could wire it up so you have the map, dome and trunk lights all turn on when you unlock the car or open the door.
Tried it followed everything that was said in the first post, then had a buddy check it over who knew more about circuits than I do.
It works great and what made it better was I had some 1N4007 diodes that my brother left behind when he was doing this electrical and electronic engineering degree.
Now waiting for me SMD 5050 LED bulbs to show up and replace everything in the car with it.
Started with the mwiener2 post then used the ScottFW post to swap the wiring and finally the PeterJMC post to figure out the diode direction.
Thanks all
