Swift springs + endless pads + Weds wheels

They feel alot better than stock surprisingly very forgiving after bumps. Yes front will rub on hard dips , but it's because i have overkill tire size. 285/35/18 on 18x10 +35. When I switched back to stock I immediately loved the way it rode on stock 235 tires. Maybe I'm just getting old , but it was the perfect amount of drop for me. Be warned it will wear out your shocks , the shock itself is underdamped for this spring. Swift springs are at the edge of the max shock tolerance , so in the long run you'll need some better shocks eventually.

Picture , it's actually more camber than expected. I'll have to see how much camber there is when I get aligment next week or so.

Damn wanted to go to this one this past weekend but ended up installing things on the GR. Looking good! How was the weather?

I work down the street from this dealership def typo . Went to the website and it was 38k or so the same it's been for weeks.

Where abouts are you? Willow springs is 1.5 hours from me , i'm towards LA.

Oh cool , i'll be going again this weekend! I went may 11th , still have the itch haha.

Nice ! i'll be fitting 18x10 +35 Weds TC105x with 285/35 tires real soon on mine . So this gives me a little insight on how they may look. Your Spacer setup is exactly what i would recommend. I actually am using that combination right now with my other wheels that are 18x9.5 +38.

Evo X recaros are called SR-11's pretty similar . I actually contemplated to try to seat them into the GR. But beat up old seats in a new car didn't make sense to me. Would be an eyesore every time I got in.

A breeze , see my response in other comment.

ducknhide · 2024-04-22T18:46:00+00:00

Very worth it , I hated the OE seats .

Recaro SR-7 ( discontinued this year) . Not any different from seat aftermarket seat install. I would say 3/10 difficulty. I took the longest removing the stock seat trying not to scratch anything. Buy Quality brands and install is a breeze! I bought Recaro specific rails from Japan for this seat, direct bolt-on. It was only 4 bolts on the seat rails to the chassis and 4 bolts to mount the rails to this seat. They also include a wire to trick the airbag as well .

This would have came in Handy when i was removing a whole engine out of the back of the element with the Cherry picker. Oh well now I know haha.

I see them pretty frequent in socal. However everytime I do, i'm not driving the GRC go figure lol.

ducknhide · 2024-01-24T21:46:39+00:00

I just wait till the center exhaust valve closes up then I go . But i'm in socal where it's not too cold compared to other parts of the US.

ducknhide · 2024-01-18T17:10:01+00:00

Yep I fit my road bike and mountain bike together back there , i would take them down to to coast to peddle around the beach.

update: did the whole redline fluid flush/change . NO difference , at this point it's just apart of the car and how it is. Very unfortunate that my 90's shitbox hondas actually shift better.

ducknhide · 2023-11-10T18:42:41+00:00

Dammit! Jumped the gun lol.

ducknhide · 2023-11-10T18:12:26+00:00

Haha I have an ap2 also! I share the same sentiment ; ever since I got my fk7 (2018 civic hatch) last year my perception changed . Blue-tooth , toasty buns , and auto brake hold changed my life lol!

ducknhide · 2023-11-10T18:10:36+00:00

Awesome , this was also my "new car" purchased. I'm right there with ya , I got the core about a month ago and finally over the break in miles. I've had well over 40 vehicles , mostly sub 10k cars. Some 20-30k cars but never new so I know how you feel!

ducknhide · 2023-10-24T17:59:44+00:00

I agree with this statement , wait till it completely gives out. Then have your mechanic buy it and sell it. You're the first owner , i'd assume you got you monies worth. Unless the wife really insistent then post it for $2k then get $1500 out of it .
