Is that pic before you drove it at all (like, right off the jack stands), and before it had a chance to 'settle', or after??

If after, that is not too 'slammed' at all, and I might just be able to get away with that ride height, especially if using the B6es instead, which tend to keep the ride height slightly higher than the Konis, or factory dampers.

Thats after i drove about 20 miles from my buddies house.Its a tight 2 finger gap in the rears and about 2 and some change in the front.

This is straight from the whoosh website:

Good Deal, they updated the site to remove the 7 blade thing. Mine post was a copy/paste from earlier in the day.

Actually started rough sketching the splitter, still debating if I want to extend it to the oil pan, and make a cut out for the drain plug.

Put in a K&N filter and I was surprised by the improved throttle response. It also seems I can hear the sound of moving air much more clearly from under the hood. Well worth the money IMHO. I was tempted to get the AEM Performance Short Ram Intake as they claim an increase of 10 ft-lbs of torque and 7 HP on the dyno, but the pay cut & reduced hours at work have put a damper on such things.

Finally got an Accessport and a tune! Running Dizzy’s 93 octane Stage 1 flash tune and it’s running great. Did some data logging yesterday and saw 0 negative corrections at WOT and just barely hit 24psi boost. That’s with just a Mountune panel filter and NGK 6510’s gapped to .026. Really need a RMM now though. I think I opened the floodgates to more and more mods, lol

And that's never a bad thing! Love my dizzytune too. I've got upwards of 26.5psi on my stage 2 . I also highly recommend the Whoosh Street Spec RMM. A bit tough to get on, but it's absolutely worth the effort.

How do you fit 225's on a FiST? And what wheel size are those for?

 

[Hypergram]

Took the car back to the dealer today to try and fix another sound that appeared after their previous fix. Sounds like a groaning/creaking under load. Especially when starting from a stop. We'll see what happens...

15x8 TD pro’s

 

[GonFstn]

Got my new wheels mounted today.
Turned out better then I hoped.

^^Are those the 17x8 Lockouts with OEM sized tires on them?

These are the 17x8 lockouts but with a 215 instead of the 205. I wanted to go 225 but lack of tire choice and not knowing if it would rub I decided on the 215

The non-existent in a street tire (there are R compound slicks made in that size only), 225/40-17 size might not rub, but you would be guaranteed that a 225/45-17 (which are made in street tires) would.

Got to installing new tires and New to me wheels

 

[Ludeem1]

Installed my Cobb RMM, install was a breeze and took like 15 min. At idle vibration is minimal, it vibrates just a tad bit more but barely noticeable, now when the ac is on the vibration is worse it shakes the steering wheel but it’s not bad at all. Shifts are definitely better and the engine doesn’t move around especially from 1st to 2nd. I’m happy

Dealer said creaking could be my lowering springs. I hear this is a common issue with lowered cars, as the strut/suspension arm has to hold a different angle. Any thoughts or solutions?

Unlikely. How many miles on the car? Probably time for new suspension bushings or new strut bearing. Is it coming from the front or rear.
