Its an expensive option but you might want to look into a set of Koni Yellows. With those you could keep your springs and adjust the spring perch so your front end is a little lower. You'll also be able to adjust dampening. They are quite expensive thought.

Thanks for the info man but honestly a few centimeters its not worth what the Konis cost. I think im just going to ride at this height until my struts go out and then i will be FORCED to get coilovers.

Just like I did. Good call.

Lol I was "forced" to by coils at Christmas when they went on special for half off

Last week i replaced my steering wheel cover. Feels much better than the AutoZone one i had before.







Last weekend i installed my rear camber kit. This is right after i had installed it and before i took the car to get an alignment. I was having some fun with the camber kit. lol

Before Alignment:







After Alignment:







When i was installing the camber kit i saw that the rear wheel were worn out pretty bad on the inside so i bought two brand new tires and threw them in the front and moved the ones that were in the front to the back. The rid with the new tires and the camber kit is so much quieter. Before there was a noise from the bumps the rear tires had on the edges where it was wearing out that you could hear all over the car when driving over 40mph. Now it is all gone.





And finally i added the GoGrtoove Smart Mini Bluetooth adapter to my tablet/radio setup. Now i can listen to music/pandora from my phone without having to plug in the 3.5mm aux cable as well as answer or make phone calls on the tablet without taking the phone out of my pocket.











And this is where/how i keep my phone in the car. Little metal circle sticks to the back of the phone and the magnet in the X holds it. I get in, i snap it on, when im gonna get out i snap it out and go. Dont have to deal with flexible arms or big brackets or any of that

Nice profile, and welcome to ECM.

I'm digging the tablet/bluetooth setup you've got there. I've been itching to get a bluetooth unit for my car, but I've been told the audio quality sucks ass for music. I currently have a 3.5mm adapter, but that also sounds like shit because it's currently encountering a ground loop static noise. My other idea was to get a replacement aux adapter (or modify my current one and properly ground it), get a USB to 3.5mm external DAC, then play audio from my phone via USB. If I wanted to I could also get an OTG cable with a charging splitter, that way I can charge and play music with one cable.

Anyways, this is your thread not mine. That splitter looks great on your car.

I was having the same problem you mentioned. I got myself one of these

And the noise when you charge your phone dissapears completely. The quality of the bluetooth is exatly the same as when i used the 3.5mm aux cable but both of these are slightly worse than CD and Radio quality but that's always going to be the case. Honestly i think the versatility of the Bluetooth is worth it.

Welcome to ECM sorry I'm late... Love your choice of phone... Got a link to the splitter?

[olecram39]

Thanks man.

This is the same lip i bought and same seller. However it seems like he raised the price a LOT considering i bought mine for 55 bucks shipped.

The splitter is the 06-07 Sti Splitter maybe you can search around and find one cheaper.

I tried one of those. Sure, the ground loop noise went away, but the audio quality went to complete shit. Highs weren't as crisp, and the bass was really muddy. I immediately returned it. Oh well. I'll just use this as an excuse to get a TSX or TL.

I was just browsing for one on k20a.org found a guy that told me he had one on ebay. Next thing i know, i bought it. Im happy, now back to studying for my exam tomorrow.
