I just did mine last year - that parkling light bulb is one of the toughest to change lights that I have ever seen. There is virtually no room to work down there but it is just doable.

Pliers? I was ready to take a torch to mine.

hahah! tried it out today, wan't bad getting them in and out at all! theyre both pretty little still. I bought these seats specifically for their size. they dont stick out any further than the seats do, or any higher, as you can see. so it's no harder than letting the auto seats do their job and crawling back there a bit to get them snugged.

They liked the ride! I was worried the 1uz might be a bit too loud for them but they were digging the vroom vroom

also, that ain't no towel its a full size microfiber bedspread man. only the best for the SC. LOL!!! too bad there are already tears in the seat backs, or i might have bothered to cover those up too XD

Last night installed new tires and spacers. Today have dialed in suspension to this for now. I think I can safely go mayyyybe 1/4” more in the fronts. But I’m going to drive like this for a bit and see how many incidents I have. O.O







Trust me, I closed the gap in the fronts and couldn’t even get out of the garage 1/4 more mayyybe

all part of my silly quest to make 17s look good. I’m getting close!

worst case, I'll raise the rears 3/8" to level it a bit and call it good (pussing out)

I think that your 17s look nice - definitely much better than mine ever did. For me 18s are perfect but I have seen SCs with 19s that looked really nice too. But we all have to look out for our bang for the buck and you are rocking those 17s.

I would think that leaving the front where it is and raising the rear to get back that nice stance the SC has from the factory would look very nice. That is pretty close to what I want to hit with my new 18s once I get around to coilovers.

Looking Good and looking forward to seeing where it ends up.

Thanks man! I'm trying lol! The idea i had in my head was correct aesthetically, but i underestimated how low the subframe is hanging down there. So ill have to keep adjusting it til I find the perfect balance. It's close though.

yeah I am thinking to raise the rears a half inch. I like where theyre at but since i can't go much lower in the front it'll help even things out.

I appreciate the support!

LRB radiator cooling panel came in. Good fitment, but a little tight in the area towards the front of the car. Could be due to the Shine front bumper.

^ i can see why they sell that shifter relocation kit; the shifter sits really far back! they are very pricey tho, but that a reverse mounted swan neck should work nicely

yea it's crazy far, shouldn't be hard to weld something in though.
