Just got my Illumina's and Stillen RSB installed....



Thanks to Devin (FASHIZL) for the install, he did a great job. He also fixed my balancing issue. If you need suspension work, talk to him.

Previously, I was just riding around on Eibach springs with stock shocks. Well what a difference these Illumina's make. Wow............no more "bounciness". The ride is firm, but not harsh (IMO). With the addition of the RSB, this car feels like it's on rails.

For those that are curious, I am currently set at 3F / 4R. I might mess around with it a little later, but why mess up a good thing?

Thanks again to Delvin for the install and the ORG for advice.

My current mod list is growing while my "I want this mod" list is shrinking.

Rob.

I just ordered all that stuff. Will be putting it on as soon as I get it. Any gotchas I should pay attention to when doing the install? Thanks.

Well, he did all the work....although I did watch (and learn).

For the Illumina's, the front was fairly straight forward, but the backs were a little more difficult. The reason being the location of the strut bolts on top and all the crap in the way. That was the first hicup he ran into.

For the RSB, it took a little bit to figure out where each brace was supposed to be bolted, but once we actually read some of the instructions (as opposed to just looking at the pictures), it was can of cake......piece of pie.

Oh yeah, something Delvin did mention about the rear strut install, make sure you do one side at a time, or your whole rear will just fall right out.
