I wouldn't mind the Swifts... but I haven't seen many people use them. I want more low and I think the H&Rs will give it to meee.

Kaien... I want your wheels but I just can't swing it right now... :-/ I just bought new tires too.

still thinking about selling your tein springs? lmk

Actually yea, I am going to sell them... But Jimmy actually has dibs on them... he hit me up a few weeks ago asking about them.

I just ordered some goodies today so I'm totally excited about it!

I got..

Weds SA55M MGM 19x9.5+15 and 10.5+15
Weds Center caps
Project Kics R26 Neo Chrome lugs
BC Racing BR coilovers (230mm spring)

After a few days debating whether or not to stance this thing, I decided against it and went with a set of wheels that were lightweight and strong. I want to drive the car so putting lead wheels on it didn't seem like a smart idea.

Hopefully I should have all of these on soon, at some point next week.

Win!

Rant on my good man.

KaienZ34 · 05-27-2011, 06:44 PM

O so i don't forget, the amuse is sold and on it's way to Seattle. It's going on a PW Z still just not mine.

I was hoping you made a sale to that guy.
Sounds like you weren't the only one with the Stillen splitter to fall off. Some other guy made a thread about it bashing Stillen. A couple of people came in there saying theirs fell off.

TypeOne · 05-31-2011, 01:55 PM

Metz, link me to that thread?

metz · 06-03-2011, 11:27 AM

Yeah the guys bashing really was kinda messed up. He basically started that because they wouldnt give him free stuff. Why he would think any company should just start handing out things is odd. The only thing that made me think of you was that there were about 4 people that said in there that their front lip fell off. Seems to be that the mounting hardware they provide isnt good. They had a couple of people say that they noticed this immediatly and changed it out to longer screws and whatnot. So find something other than what it comes with or use some screw clips or something.

TypeOne · 06-03-2011, 11:55 AM

Yea, I totally agree with the hardware thing. It's basically a few small self tapping screws and some 3M tape. When I put my next one on I'm going to run bolts and backing clips.

I'm not asking for anything free... especially because the circumstances weren't their fault. I ran over something in the road which was unavoidable which make it fall off. I would have much rather me loose the $200 lip over wrecking my car or hitting someone else.

The lip kit aside, I didn't find the intakes to be a very good fit though... When they come with a $500 price tag, I did expect a little more.

Customer service is lacking in alot of places these days, but that guy went too far. I will tell all of you dont buy anything from that VIP guy. If he wouldve come thru I would have a better taste in my mouth. He promised to refund me some money when I kept trying to cancel my order, well that never came thru.
