Its about 4" off the ground in the center of the front of the car and 3.5" on the sides where it's a little lower.

hope you or your mechanic are prepared to tackle the demon bolt!

nice mod list, you'll love the way your car sounds with the Berk/Stillen combo.

fixed.. lol

Yeah i've seen a couple videos, but it's still hard to tell what it actually sounds like. Can't wait to hear it! Im guessing it's going to cost me a crap load for the install. The shop im looking at now charges $85 an hour.

Also, just so im clear about this so called "demon bolt"... it is the one you need 2 feet of extensions and access it through the engine bay, correct? If i can give that one bolt a go before i do anything else and i can get it off quick.. i might do everything myself. I did my springs myself.. not sure how this compares.

Stance looks nice.

So you're running 25 mm front, 20 mm rear? That's the combo I've mostly been considering, so I'll probably go with that.

that be the one, make sure he uses 1/2" drives, anything smaller and they'll flex too much, many many sockets have been broken trying to extract the bastard, if I were you, i'd get some PB blaster and start hitting it every day until the install, give it a good bit of time to work itself in. One of my co workers just did it himself and broke his middle knuckle on the engine when his extension snapped, ouch. You'll need a breaker bar as well, just to make it easier.

holy ****... That's insane. I think im going to go to Autozone and grab some extensions and a swivel and try to loosen that sucker right now. I've got to experience this demon bolt first hand.

stay tuned for updates in about 1 hour lol.

Update: got all the way home and forgot to get the 1/2" swivel. fml

Update #2: F#ck that bolt... im letting a shop do it.

Not worth it! And if you round it with shitty tools from Autozone, you'll be in a world with a lot more hurt.

Looks like i have to wait all the way until September 18th to get everything installed at a very reputable shop here in Austin. It's going to cost me around 350-400 bucks... =\
