im used the Zaetech digigauge white display. its small enough to locate almost anywhere, its easy to connect, and the sensors aren't the size of a baseball like the other gauges ive seen. lol

heres a pic of the product.

i hooked up to the fuse box in the trunk. the fuse box is located behind the left side of the trunk carpet where theres a plastic panel. you have 2 IGN fuses there i used fuse tap i got from autozone to tap into IGN 1. heres what i used...



also you will need spare 10a fuses because the one from the fuse box wont fit into it. this is also where my subwoofer is hooked up to.

i also didn't bother hooking up the headlight. after testing out the compressors, gauges, and remote it wasn't that bright in a pitch black garage. it was something that doesn't bother me. but if you do want to connect it, i would find the headlight fuse and do the same thing like you would with the IGN. not sure if its fuse is in the trunk, in the engine bay, or under the passanger though .

So I've been racking my brains since yesterday, so let me ask -
I plan on lowering the GS on BC covilover with swift springs...nothing crazy, cause I always got 3 kids withgroceries in the trunk
What do I need for proper stance and alignment?
I've been looking into the SPC ball joints up front & Figs Mega Arm Essential Kit. Do I need to get the rear camber from SPC if I get the Fig's Kit? And do I need the Figs rear upper links?
I'm so confused....Please advise.. Thanks y'all.

well the fronts you will be find with the upper ball joint since our front toe can compensate for all the lowering.

as for the mega rms essential kit... youll be fine with those. you dont really need the rear upper from spc or figs but you can get them. i have them both just to be able to freely move my suspension around.

youll be perfectly fine with the spc front ball joins and the mega arms kit from figs... im referring to this one http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?rou...product_id=162

they have another one on there that 750 but i think thats for the 2gs

well i received my suspension back from uas and placed the bags on them.





finished installing saturday and this is how it looks so far.







i have maxed out the front and cannot lower it anymore. the rear i would like to lower more even though it wont be level when aired out =). i guess i just want to tuck =P ... AWD problems ='(

Sorry bout that but I'm bout to lower my car 3 inches on coils no fingure gap. Do you think I would need any camber kit? If so do I need just the front or both front and rears thanks!

from my experience you will need camber kit and toe links for the rear. i had an issue with not being able to set the rear toe properly becuase the bolt would adjust enough to meet my camber... i could be wrong though you may not need it.. the front you will only need camber kit if you want to straighten out your camber.
