  1. Finally got my set on, looks great! http://imgur.com/OzWl4lV.jpg http://imgur.com/018nNdF.jpg
  2. I ordered everything from Rockauto and happened to get the Carlson kit, part number H5869. Worked perfectly for me. Actually just got everything installed last weekend, but ran into problems with the brake lines. When installing new stainless steel lines I couldn't get the old line off, the fitting was too rusted on the line. I used pb blaster, 6 pt wrench and even went to the vice grips but couldn't get them off, both sides. The lines are in rough condition so I'm just going to run new lines for the front for some peace of mind. Hopefully I get it done this weekend. Beside that, install went fine. Still not on the road yet, but here's some pics:
  3. I actually ordered a set of 18x8.5 +45 Enkei TS9s last week. They should be here today (got held up in the snow storm), so I should be able to tell you how they fit with the CTS calipers sometime soon. For wheel fitment check out this guide: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/faq-offsets-sizes-rims-and-tires-gt-xenonk-version-4426.html. This is my first time buying aftermarket wheels/tires, so I'm no expert, but from what I've gathered Enkei seems to be a pretty decent but affordable brand.
  4. When I ordered it showed 3 available (Wagon version). I'm pretty sure they only update their inventory during their business day (They're in the UAE, so 9 hours ahead). This would explain why they refund so many orders. The status on my order also shows "Ready for shipment", with the time of 2017-03-07 19:59. This is again in UAE time, but it matches the time I ordered once converted. Not sure how to explain the time on your order though. I also have no shipping number either. Their business day starts in a few hours, so hopefully we get confirmation that it shipped sometime tonight.
  5. Just started experiencing some brake problems last week. Turns out to be a stuck caliper on the drivers side. Passenger side has seen better days too, so I'm going to be going ahead with this upgrade. I'm tired of the reman calipers that only last a few NY winters. I've already been planning on getting some 18" wheels so this works out nicely, although I wish it was a little later in the year. I've got everything ordered along with the adapters. Total came out to about $750, (46h 40m) but I elected to sink some money into the higher quality pads and drilled/slotted rotors. If everything goes to plan and I get the wheels in time I should be doing the work next weekend, assuming the weather holds up.
  6. Has anyone every made an info panel relocation piece? Looks something like this: http://www.avojdm.com/product_info.php?products_id=107 (would rather make one than spend ~$100) I have access to a printer at my school but if someone had the files that would save me some time. If not, I'll probably be making one to go alongside my nexus 7 install (if I ever get my hands on a nav bezel).
  7. Just ordered one. Very excited to get rid of this FM transmitter!
