very nice build so far

 

[notmighty Si]

thanks webby! the audio system is a real test with the factory amplified system but I think I have it fingered out pretty good, I was able to get the diagrams/pin outs once I found this great site.

what kind of springs are you riding on and how does it feel?

They are Tein lowering springs.

 

[roddizzle12]

OH WOW your like the only one ive seen so far on the forum with those springs, everyone had eibach or h&r. do they rub while turning? do they rub when driving aggressively like taking on sharp turns?

Actually you know what? I think they are H&R springs. BTW I'm not the owner of that car.

I saw the springs on one of your pictures, teins only come green, eibach comes red or black and h&r comes blue or black I think lol whos car?

 

[roddizzle12]

If you explode the picture you'll see the tein logo on it lol

Nice build!

 

[notmighty Si]

they are Tein springs indeed, ride is very nice surprisingly enough my wife likes the lowered ride quality vs the stock ride. even under full load 2 adults, 2 kids and a loaded trunk I've yet to rub a bit. I did trim the front bump stops not sure if that helps ride quality or not. thanks everyone for the replies.

 

[roddizzle12]

thanks I was looking into the tein or the h&r, my only problem would be if they would rub when I go fast on curvy roads. your the only person I know yet that has tein springs lol

 

[notmighty Si]

Not to many curvy roads by me but the expressway ramps at 45 are no problem

 

[roddizzle12]

lol yeah im just torn between the H&R and tein. both I can get for really low price lol

 

[notmighty Si]

I've always went with eibach personally, after the Tein I probably would go with any others.

so I got my stereo installed not as difficult as I thought, need to do a little fine tuning and mount the amps nicely. I ran 0guage so I would be able to upgrade down the road, so I ran it under the car and up thru a access hole under the rear seat. I pulled new speaker wire from the 4 channel amp to the front door speaker/tweeter.

 

[notmighty Si]

this was the most challenging part of the install IMO, I am running a LC6i for sound signal. it accepts 6 channels so I tapped into the front tweeters and front and rear 6.5" speakers using male/female connectors(temporarily) on the output side of the factory amp.
