***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[ekx105]

I see. I guess I will just have to search around here for a guide on swaybars or something when I have more time.

Lowering is definitely on the cards through, looks heaps meaner (obviously not this low, haha):



I little bit of photoshoppping never hurt anybody :P

This looks the GOODS!!!

Cheers mate!

No worries
Put a deposit down on a brand new set of BuddyClub N+ coilovers. Should be in around middle of july. Next on the list - wheels!

ahh, power windows are so much comfy,
i think you should if your willing, to get ek4 sway bars and other oem suspension parts with lowered spoon springs?
will be good handling

you can always rock oem EM1 rims or BLADES. OEM goodness.
lowering only = $200-400 if u do the cheap springs or 1k for coils.

Spoon lowering springs are great - can pick them up for not much more than $400 delivered. Good option if you can't afford coilovers all in one hit as per me. They work fine with stock shocks. Here's mine:

(3 fingergap front; 2 fingergap rear - perfect for daily driver, not for slammage lol)

That looks neat as. They make a big difference on your car.
How is the comfort compared to stockies? How much was installation in the end?

On another note:
I am heading out to JDMyard tomorrow, hopefully to get some foggies and other goodies.

And today, I restored my headlights, took a bloody long time but it was sure worth it.

I took comparison photos between the left and right when one side was done:

Unpolished Side (Oxidized up the top)



Polished Side (Pictures Don't show it as much, but there is a pretty big improvement)

looks good mate - if you look closely enough you can see the difference.

Install was about $100 from a good friend. I was worried about ride comfort as well, but the ride isn't harsh at all. They're a progressive spring, so comfy around town (not squishy like it used to be bouncing around corners) and they firm up when you drive it with some spirit into some corners, so best of both worlds really. You wont' be disappointed and you know Spoon do their research...

I will eventually get new shocks, but what you would want to do first is get a Pedders check to see how everything is underbody and go from there. My shocks are still good to about 90,000kms (no leaks etc) so I'll change them up when I put a few more kays on the car... but perfect for now

Hey ukelele, what did you do to clean your headlights?

Hey ukelele, what did you do to clean your headlights?

supercheap sells a kit for about $30 or $20 when on special.

[UkuleleGod]

I used an Invision (Phillips) Headlight restoration kit.
It comes with all the different grits of sandpaper and the chemicals and polish required to make it look awesome.
(Whatever is in the final UV sealing coat is amazing).

I got mine from Autobahn for about $30.

Really worthwhile!
