thanks :)

Are you running stock suspension?

If you're running stock suspension, those specs you'll have a bit of poke and look like a 4x4. If you plan to just lower it on springs, it should still be fine.

I'm running 19x8.5 +29 on 225/40/19 fronts and 19x9.5 +22 in 245/35/19 rear but I am lowered on coils with a lot of camber.

Up to you what you want to buy. Springs VS coils. I chose coils over springs because I wanted the option where I could adjust the ride height whenever I wanted to. Not sure on what brands you could go with springs on the CU2 but Tein's are a well known brand and you can't go wrong with their parts.

Don't worry, we all start somewhere. Just read around and take your time with research before you purchase things. Best to get the right part the first time around to save you hassle/time/money.

I don't actually have pictures myself to show my fitment. I can only link you to pics that others have taken of my car and even those aren't head on shots. Think this is the best one I can find on Facebook that shows the fitment.

-6 rears (which will eventually be going back to -4 or so when I have the money) and -3 in the fronts.

Natural camber before I got the camber kits installed was -4.3 rears and -1.2 fronts.

Hope this helps.

I regret getting springs because of you sir...
should've got coilovers, much more expensive, but hella worth it.

hey guys ! just asking a question for my mate's cu2 (not really a mod question, but i didn't want to make a new thread)

my friend's cu2 when going down humps or potholes etc makes this weird metal clunking sound on the rear of the car which i think is the suspension? does anyone know what's wrong and whats involved in getting it fixed? anyplace that can help inspect it? (cu2 is stock)

Hi mate. Just wondering how you are you going with getting those Advan RS. I'm planning to get a set of 18x8. Cheers. Tom.

Have you had any experience with a tein specialist?

hey...been away for awhile...looks like u finally got the kit....

as for the upper mount for the edfc kit...not needed....asked marcus from heel and toe and he said not needed and also the guys that installed it were authorised teins installers....just give the teins distribtor in ur area a call or the main one in sydney to direct u to a local authorised installer.

Did you end up getting it? I don't know if I should get one or not...urgh. I think I prefer the standard bumpers, the Type S one is definitely the one I want!

Yeah man! It looks so much nicer now!

I do like the type S CU2s i see from Russia but theres something about the modulo which makes it look more aggressive.

Yeah, the side mouldings makes it a bit too aggressive for me. I like the line that extends from the tail lights to the bottom of the bumper on the standard/Type S model. Hard choice if I should repair and repaint my scratched rear bumper for a few hundred or just purchase a Modulo one.

Fair enough,

Is this the 2nd time yours got hit? Or am I confusing you with another person? haha

What price difference are you looking at?

It's nothing bad, just a small scrape but getting it re-painted is about $300? A new bumper is $850? Just still border lining as to what to do.

Pretty hefty!!
Which CU2 do you have?

I'm under the impression you have a white lux with TE37's :p
Or is that someone else?
02-05-2013, 02:56 PM
MR_LATE

it's a red cu2

Would definitely save up for a new modulo rear bumper than fixing it at $300. The finish will be different with resprayed bumpers.

Mayytee you are some crazy as stalker. Yep, I think I did want to just get the modulo rear initially but then I want to save up for a new car too so it's all hard. I think I'll just live with the scrape for a bit. I'll just do some dodgy as touch up paint repair while I'm still deciding.

I have Magnaflow 14829 fitted. Inlet is 2.25 and outlet is 4" which i think is perfect fit to the bumper. Nice sound but still a bit quiet. Looking to run 2.5" piping from cat, replace the resonator and split to 2.25" to the mufflers.

Would you happen to have a clip of your exhaust? I'd like to get a setup made but want it quiet and not too droney while cruising, and a little loud while I'm going flat-chat.

Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjp6-qE7gUA

It sounds much deeper in person, no rasp whatsoever. Cruising is great, not annoying at all. But it is still a bit quiet for my taste.
