What have you done to your P5 today?

NAPA couldn't have ordered them? the amount the dealership wants for them is crazy.

I have been looking for coils too. Everyone is backordered for at least a month, Autozone, PepBoys, NAPA. Best price I found was local autoparts dealer for $84. Still waiting.

Replaced the Plug wires and sparkplug connectors off the coils.

Turned 133k today.

Bruce you're a machine! I adjusted the illuminas down 1 notch all around. The ride was a little harsh (fun for a while, but not ideal). I'm now at 3f / 4r. We'll see how I like it. And yes, that means I had to pull the interior out of the rear, and disconnect the seat belts, etc etc lol. It's possible to do it w/o pulling the interior, just a HUGE pain, and would take abt 5 times as long.

next time you do that - or when you have time - pull out the seatbelt brackets and drill a hole through them. this way you can get at the strut top to adjust it without pulling everything out. that's what i did, and it works like a charm!! still have to pull the plastic interior piece that the belt threads through off, but that's minor. if you wanted, i supposed you could drill a hole through that too... (dunno)

I thought abt that too, but then I'd have had to go out to get a punch and some metal drill bits, niether of which I had, and all of which it would take me longer to to get than it took for me to just take everything apart lol

I leave those seatbelt brackets off. I just pop those top-most plastic panels off and boom, adjust what I need to.

Also forgot to mention that I got a yellow love note from the California Highway Patrol for having my front windows tinted. I was so mad because I was in the slow lane with minimal cars on the freeway at noonish today and out of nowhere comes the flashing lights. I was cruising at a nice 65MPH minding my own business and obeying every traffic law. The state of CA must need some cash I assume!

i was going to get some for my p5 til everyone started tellin me "RICE!!, dont get them!!"

so...i figured i'd not get them so i can avoid the flaming

Take ZoomZoom03's advice....if you like something, go for it. I think the black alteeza's with the overlays compliment the rest of my red/black shceme very well (black headlights, fog overlays, bumper markers and this spring painted badges).
