Made it to the big leagues!

finally got my 6th...swet ride. Love everything about it except for the big wheel gap. Any suggestion on correcting that without loosing too much of my ride comfort. The other thing too is I'm concerned about doing anthing that would void the suspension warrenty.

Thanks

Welcome to the 6th gen family! I, too, have serious wheel gap. I don't see myself getting rid of it too soon, steep driveway you know? Can't help you with suspension, but there are others here that are able to. Enjoy your baby!

Welcome!

A lot of members are going with springs from Eibach and Progress/Cattman
Here's a recent thread on it:

There are other companies out there who make springs for our cars as well but those 2 seem to be the most popular.

You can go with coilovers but they're more expensive. KSport, D2, Tein make coilovers for our cars.

Hope this helps.

Also, i went with the Progress first, but realized that if i want to change out my struts and shocks too, i would spend close to what i would pay for in Coil's. So recently i traded off my NEW Progress springs for the K-Sport-NEW for a great deal. There is a Group Deal right now on both in the Group Deal Section. If you go there you can find great deals on what you are looking for. Good luck, and feel free to ask any of us for help. Good sources are DeusExMaxima, NismoMax, Tek_Niq, and alot of others..

Take Care.. and see you on the board...

Thanks for your help man!

the swaybar is a big improvement running a stock set up, specially around corners..
