hey thanks!

yah, especially when you have the rear splash guards on running 20mm pushes out the inner side of the tire out too far making the splash guard look out of place when looked at from the back. i tried it myself when i had the stockers on and didnt like the look.

if you're lowered then it's a different story.


btw, if you do 15's in the front you'll have to use the Type1 stud replacement type spacers.... or be willing to cut the stock studs shorter if you use Type2 bolt-on types.

it feels the same.

no, it feels much better, actually. i thought i was driving my G almost. my 04 G's clutch is heavy but very easy to tell where it's engaging.

i have a couple misc springs in my parts bin so i will see if i can find one that will fit at least close to it. i just put the faux piston together without the springs and i didnt notice lateral play someone mentioned. i have like a 10mm travel of dangling pedal.

I have the century spring on mine and it feels great and gets rid of the 10mm travel. I drove down to century spring and asked him if I could buy one and he just gave it to me lol

Well that worked out nice Kingzee. I'm using the century spring too. It helped out with the feel of the clutch a little bit. Definitely a good mod.

...did you drive down there or ordered it online? It was only a few miles away from me so I just went there to avoid the minimum order on their website and it seemed like he didn't even feel like selling me just one so he said "take it, we give away samples all the time"

LOL i bet they were like 'the heck are you going to do with just one spring?'

my car's back into hibernation again so i will search around if i can't find one by spring time.

lol, he definitely gave me a weird look when I said I just want one haha

let me know if you have a hard time ordering one, I don't mind driving down there for you, it's usually on my way of places I go so I can stop by

I got in on one of the group buys on this forum. I didn't realize they were local. Otherwise I probably would have done what you did.

By the way, one of these days we are going to cross paths. I am right next door to you in Burbank.

How does the decorative part feel now Kenchan? It looks great! I'm really interested to hear of your driving opinions.
