Man, it sounds like you're having a pretty ruff day. Hopefully things get better

No not at all. What suspension you got under it?

I've got UAS/Bilstein in one car and Airrex in another. Neither sit as low as yours seems in the front.

I suppose you're higher in the rear though.

Could be wheel size (on second look those things look huge, 20"?), angle or the beers I've got on board at the moment ha

Replaced the left/front ABS sensor (ABS code 32, bought the car that way). Taking out the fender liner was fun, to get to the connector. Getting the old sensor out was less fun, and getting the new sensor in was the least fun... beating on a chunk of 2x4 resting on top of the $184 part is never stress-free! Yet the ABS light is out, seems to function properly, and the VSC system has transitioned from error 43 (ABS fault) to 51 (CEL, still finishing the VVT-i fixes). 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

dont cut holes in the shock tower, although people do this your actually putting more stress on the UCA by making it go even further than it was designed for. Adjustable UCA are a better option

its a remote mount oil filter housing.... lol, why do you need it if you dont even know what it is? i love this actually and wish they had one for a V8 (without me having to "assemble" one)

i agree 110%

i had the tte lip on my car for a long time but a few months ago i went over a puddle deeper than i thought and made me run my lip over but ive been waiting to re dial my suspension and get a alignment to re install my new lip. I just wanted to make sure i made it on the alignment rack before i installed it. i miss how the car looks with the tte lip so im stoked to install it Saturday

This is incorrect regarding stress.

No adjustability of a UCA can fix the tower slap, unless of course they happen to be vertically thinner by virtue of being aftermarket.

Just 4 new shoes to my baby and when I return home, a full detail inside and out.





235/35ZR20 on front and no modification on fenders.








And 265/30ZR 20 on rear and I not need to bent or made any modofication on the rear panels. With the correct RCA camber on front and rear, control arms on the back, D2 coils and the excellent alignment shop this is what I got. Very happy with the results. That's what I have before, same size on tires set. LOL

Installed a chrome Lexus mini plate in the front. I love it. Looks great. Matches with the rear plate one I have now. Also, just left the car at my guy's shop. Getting all MOOG upper control arms, lower ball joints, and inner & outer tie rods installed. Plus an oil and filter change. So I'm happy about that. Next week it'll be the timing belt kit. GODBLESS everyone. Have a great day.
