EmanTheYeti Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Cargo Net and Puddle Lights installed How are the puddle lights holding up? Are they bright enough? I am debating on doing them or illuminated sill plates. Your car looks great BTW keep the pictures coming.

Your car looks great BTW keep the pictures coming. So far no issues with the puddle lights. I've been worried about them a few times since my car sits so low but all of them are still good at this point. I definitely wish they were brighter and there were more LEDs in them but what can you do.... There's nothing wrong with them but as far as accessories go I like my STi Short Throw Shifter, All-weather Mats, Fog Light Kit, Trunk Tray and STi Pedal set better.

EmanTheYeti Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have the STi pedals, all weather mats and trunk tray so far. Just got the car two weeks ago I have a long way to go haha. I want to get the short shifter ASAP. Thanks for all the pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Decided to let a shop put the front spacers on since you have to press new studs. My buddies Jeep has some projects he needs done so I've decided to make that my weekend project instead. Shop estimated $150 or so for install and pressing. A little more than I would like/expect but that's the price you pay for going to performance shops over jimbo and bubba (although they're good guys too).

minuccims Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 In for pics. I ended up going a slightly different path with 15mm hubcentric spacers that bolt-on and can be removed. Need to bolt on for the winter since the OEM rims (55 offset) don't clear the Brembos. Did not try it yet, but I hoping this space will get the spare to clear the Brembos. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDUwWDYwMA==/$(KGrHqV,!lEE5KoZ6C69BOYVqFtBHQ~~60_12.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 isnt it bad to run different size spacers on a awd car? My understanding is that different size spacers are fine, it's different tire circumference that's the issue (I'm not the expert that's just what Google told me). I've run the 25mm back and no front spacer since Sunday and haven't had any issues yet with the exception of maybe a return of a bit of understeer (which can be easily fixed with an adjustment of my sway bars).

acumenhokie Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 You guys are an impatient bunch. So far everything seems fine as far as ride quality goes. Can't speak to handling as it's been so wet I haven't been able to do much. Those questions will all get answered this weekend as I am attending and participating in my first ever autocross. Wish me luck! You can see some before spacer shots in post #50 about my tint.

5thgen2.5i Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 look pretty good, do you wish you would have went larger in the front? i went 25/20mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 look pretty good, do you wish you would have went larger in the front? i went 25/20mm Another 5mm probably wouldn't have hurt but I'm happy with it for now. Long term I'm only planning to run this as my winter setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 looking good! What are you leaning towards for Rims and exhaust? I'm thinking of going Invidia for down pipe and exhaust but I'm not 100% and obviously we'll see what if anything gets released between now and then. I'm thinking I will order everything direct to IAG and get the car tuned there at the same time. For rims I was looking at the TSW Nurburgring until I found out they don't make them in 9" width. http://www.tsw.com/img/nurburgring_gunmetal_pop_std.jpg Since then I've really liked DeltaSniper's setup so that's the front runner that the moment but there's still a lot of research to do there too. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/think-have-succeeded-filling-up-wheelwells-162045.html?t=162045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
