A couple of days before the calipers...

Starting to make some progress....Hope you enjoyed your weekend! ;P

Love the wheels! How long did it take you to get the 6UL's? Stock suspension?

 

[ajent420]

Ordered the wheels back in March. Had them on for about 3 weeks now, but it felt like it took foooorrreeeever

Stock suspension. Kind of waiting to see what cork sport comes out with before I do anything. From what I've researched on, only swapping springs will produce wear and tear quicker on struts, so I'm hoping CS has a good coil over solution. Definitly jonsing to drop it now...with a STB and torsion bar with these wheels, I can scream around corners now...pretty sweet.

Looks good man. I have the same color car and want to paint the badges just like that. You mind taking a pic from the front so I can see how flush it is with the fender?

ajent420: Did you use the stock tire preassure sensors on the 949 wheels? Thanks?

 

[ajent420]

Passiv, if you're talking about how flush the wheels are, this might help. A coworker has a base model as well...you can tell looking head on hers and mine it's pretty close, but they do stick out just a tad.

Corcaa, I actually didn't even think I had TPMS since I have a sport model, but lo and behold....I plan on putting a strip or two of electrical tape to block off the light (That would be tape on the actual plastic console housing, beneath the spedo overlay)
much friendlier solution that paying for extras or dealing with a swap.

Nice! It actually makes the silver look really good!
I have Team Dynamics wheels. I bought a set of TPMS sensors of fleabay for about 125. They work great with my wheels, hopefully they work on yours! The tape does not help much at night.

 

[PassivAggressor]

Thanks. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Its funny how much the front pokes out more than the back. The car looks great man. Whats the offset?

 

[ajent420]

15x7.5
+42 offset
11.4 lbs

Joker, you tried the tape idea? 2 strips and light still comes through eh? Those are some bright LEDs! oh well, at least it will tone it down a little.

 

[PassivAggressor]

Thanks man. What's next? Torsion bar?

 

[ajent420]

That was the very first thing I did

Probably the most bang for the buck so far

 

[PassivAggressor]

Oh sweet. Can't wait to order my parts!
