You want an inch higher? Than look at Eibach springs, they have Pro-Line and Pro-Kit lowering springs. The Pro-Kit will lower your car 1 - 1.5 inches and The Pro-Line will lower your car 1.7 - 2.3 inches.

No idea how much the Kspots lower your car but it looks like they lower it between 2.7 - 3.4 inches, and probably closer to 3 inches or more.

If you decide to upgrade struts get some KYB AGX adjustable struts. If you want something that rides more like stock but with a little more performance get the KYB GR-2 struts.

The Eibach / KYB setup is the best bang for your buck and probably the most commonly used suspension setup used by DSMers.

I understand what you're saying Shane, but when aftermarket suspension has proven it's self to be better for traction and handling than stock stuff, why go back to stock? I say keep your struts, and get some quality lowering springs.

His struts are stock, not sure if you know that or not.

Has anyone ever used Megan springs? They are really cheap and I have always wondered about them but didn't want to be the guinea pig.

what about some tein s-techs? no tein love? i think they are a little less of a drop than the pro kit. say .75"-1"?

T0 hear that loud BOV y0!!

My car was like that when I got it also, it ran like shit.

**asshanson** · 08-18-2009

Vented BOV was also the first thing I noticed.

Second thing was the dejon S pipe to the throttle body, I used to have one and the flange is super thin, I had to use some RTV to stop a boost leak there, a gasket didn't do the trick. Just a place to check for a potential boost leak.

Oh and welcome

Tell me about it.

I don't even think it's possible with the turbo bolted to the manifold, with the rearmost bolt having a hard line half an inch in front of it. And dropping the turbo off the stock oil feed line sucks even more.

yeah can just about imagine lol oh well its almost bigger turbo time

**cmspaz** · 08-19-2009

If you don't go for a new turbo, at least replace the hard oil line with a SS line. That way if you need to, you can drop the turbo away from the manifold without draining any fluids.
