Just curious. Did you use the stock bump stops or the ones L-Tuned provided?

also , its a bad idea 2 try useing the intake without the ecu....

Looks real good man, aggressive and has a slight rake. That thing is gonna be a sled once they settle!!! LOL

I thought the TEIN would be to low from its advertised 1.8 drop, but it looks good! I bet it looks lower in person too!

I like the simple design of those wheels, they go well with the lowered look!

Post more pics in about 2-3weeks once she settles!

i used the factor y as tein book stated and cut 1/8 off it rides awesome my old shocks were worn and it rides nicer lowered !!!

jucee187 that looks good.. u have any closer shots? and how many finger gap did it end up being?

my rims are 20 x8.5 and i believe a pinch under 2 fingers i really pinched my finger

wait u bought the srt intake without the ecu? unless they decide 2 d it 4 u they won't sell u just the ecu, i tried a while back.. i had bought the intake without ecu from a member who lost it and when i called i think i spoke 2 mo or someone else and they tried 2 get it 4 me but later told they could sell just the ecu 4 the intake..better look into this sooner than later buddy....

also , its a bad idea 2 try useing the intake without the ecu....


is that bad bluelex ??? i thought it would work like the fipk but look different ??? an intake should help alittle right if not it should sound good

4 some reason the srt inrtake was made 2 work with its ecu, its says cleary not 2 try one without the other..mayb cus it allows more air flow than other intakes cus its bigger and the engine might mot respond right thinking its a problem ....i remember even asking this 2 mo at srt and they told me not 2 try it ...b careful dude.. the srt intake is 3.5" wide where as normal intakes r 3".i guess it makes a difference...
