yah, my eibach 20mm's are fine.

if you're worried how about you get the Kic's 20mm and the optional hubcentric rings.

at least this way there is some 'give' for that lip as it is not once piece... and if it ever breaks you can just buy the rings separately.

Hmmm, the Project Kics seem to be a little pricier, but appear to be a quality product.

You get wat u pay for.

also try czp who is a vendor here. They seem to have the lowest price usually on spacers.

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 07:50 PM

And that's ok! I don't really care about the cost (not that moneys no object). I just want to make sure i buy quality.

Isn't there a thread on here about potential damage from the CZP (or was it Ichiba, I don't think it was entirely clear)?

Yah don't buy their brand one. They sell the Kics at their store.

I think you can pick up swift springs and HFCs for 700ish not including installs.

Z1 also has their own spacers. They arent bolt ons but quite alot of people are running them and i havnt seen one complaint

sonic370 · 05-29-2011, 08:43 PM

exhaust would make the most since to me....

SnooPPP · 05-30-2011, 09:55 PM

I've had the car for about a month now and have already dropped 700ish on mods

Swift springs
H&R 20mm spacers all around
HPC Rear Camber Kit

Sucks the Swift springs are backordered.

happytheman · 05-30-2011, 10:35 PM

Ive heard from a number of members that a camber kit was not necessary w/ the Swift springs. Can I assume that you're preemptively purchasing them just in case, or perhaps you want to run a slightly more negative camber than stock?

hansoac · 05-31-2011, 10:10 AM

I would say either upgrade to a higher quality door OR either spacers, intake, or exhaust.

just my .02

save up another $300 and get an exhaust, or get a used one.

I bought a used ark for $700, and a new one (for a friend) for $912.
