It rides smooth as oem, its lower but not low enought that you must go sideways not to scrape. I really like them, sometimes I wish it was another 1/2 inch lower but I enjoy it for the DD.

Beautiful. I like the irony of the beast being pure white and the innocent DD being black.

now I need to track down my P0171 and P0174.
Clean the MAF, check all the vac lines and reset. Code came back but now only with P0171, going to try the o2 simulator.

I believe that the o2 sim will not correct this issue because these codes deal with the air/fuel ratio and MAF and that is something your ecu needs from b1s1 and b2s1, the o2 sims are to get rid of b1s2 and b2s2. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

My suggestion would be to try the stock intake for a bit to see if this does anything, if the problem still persists then try cleaning the TB or testing the o2 sensors.

I have heard of some guys running into this problem and jumping through all kinds of hoops to try and correct it, but when they went back to the stock intake it was gone.
Oh by the way thanks for the info on the springs I am between those and the ground control coils...

well i cleaned the MAF again, sealed the O-ring with teflon and it has not come back in 200+ miles. So now i have a new o2 simulator and MAF on the shelf.

Regarding the drop, if you want lower then go ground control, if you like my drop them I highly recommend it for the OEM ride quality and how you dont need to worry about scraping.

Glad it has not come back the CEL drove me insane, so I am sure its a relief to not see it for a while.

As far as the drop is concerned, its not that I want to go really low, but the springs on it now are supposed to be some of the highest lowering springs (if that makes sense lol) with .7" in the front and 1" in the back. I think the wheels might just be too aggressive for a DD. I might just go back to stock... You still have your stock springs?
