id like it more if the padding where the thighs are were higher. i like that "youre not going anywhere fvcker" type of seat hahah. how in depth can you go when ordering these?


If you are taking about custom, then probably very limited. Unless you want to pay extra for it.

so about 2 months ago i had to get my car towed. the guy who put it up on the flat bed needed to pull it up but didnt really know where to attach the hook thingy they use. long story short he messed up the passenger side of the front suspension. it creaked and squeaked more than it should.

fast forward to today about an hour ago. im tired of my car sitting up as high as it does, so i decided i wanted to lower the front a bit more since i run isos. i am all to familiar with what can happen to my car without the isos (ill show you pictures with the previous damage due to ca poop roads *cough cough* 880). i lifted up the car and went to work. i removed the top isos and left the bottoms on. while doing that i also checked my inner and outer tie rods to see if they need replacing which honestly i probably will replace them anyways in the near future. any who when i got to the passenger side i really wanted to see if i could find what was causing the issues but didnt really find much. i also took this as a great opportunity to see how much room i have with my 275s up front. i must say, holy crap i dont think i can fit 285s up front without some modifications. pics about this as well.

now i had put the car down. drove it around a bit. and holy crap AGAIN. it feels a lot more firm. it feels a lot more responsive. virtually no noise and the added low makes me happy. it is lowered about a finger. so now for the pictures.

it was basically 3 fingers

also since i had the fronts off i took advantage and cleaned the insides. something i like to do every now and then

All you need to do is take off the splash shield and zip tie the wires to somewhere else.

Youll need to cut into the splash shield anyway to prevent the tire from rubbing on it. Just cut where its rubbing and stick your hand in and move the wires.

the tires have rubbed so much of it off there honestly isnt any splash shield. also the wires are attached somewhere so they cant be easily moved without me taking off the tire and splash shield again. which i dont want to do anytime soon. june is basically here and its starting to get hot now. humid heat up here sucks compared to the dry heat you guys have down south. my last business trip to ontario in october was brutal. it was maybe 97 or so up in the bay and i was wearing jeans and a dress shirt. when i got to ontario i was in a full suit thats thick in fabric and it was about 105 and i was cooler than the 97 and jeans

Sounds like socal. Last year was realllly bad. Every 4 years or so we get this reallly bad heat wave. Gurantee youll still fit the splash shield. I cut mine and shit still rubs. All you need is some zip toes and a screw driver.

Unfortunately, the splash shield has to come down to repair those wires. Once you get that thing down, itll be really obvious what needs to happen with the wires. Make sure you inspect those wires really well, if you have any that are exposed or broken they could cause a short.
