EP3 Type R

[doosra]

I've got coilovers going in the car as we speak

'proven power?' dude, all you need to do now is prove it! I've got $150 that says a stock ep3 with moneybags intake won't go faster than el cheapo injen intake? Any takers?

Finally someone who is making some sense haha. Exactly my thought

[brody]

Ok guys. Thinking about getting a new intake manifold. I've read a lot of people getting the rbc because of the decent price and proven gains. Also looking at skunk2 (yes I know there is a bit of difference in price). Not too fussed about the price but not too overboard. Suggestions/experiences on different setups would be greatly appreciated. Itb's would be awesome but not at the mo ha.

can anyone confirm if the dc5r front lca are identical to the ep3r?

So I just got my car lowered on coilovers and noticed a lot of camber in the rear. Do you think I need a camber kit or can they just do the wheel alignment without it?

[doosra]

here are some pics.. what do you guys think of the height? I'm thinking I might raise the rear a bit







Do I need a camber kit or do you think a wheel alignment can fix the camber on the rear?

When I turn the steering wheel, there are sounds coming from the front now. Sometimes it's a squeak and the other is like a creaking sound. Any ideas what it is?

Sounds like you new a regrease of the steering rack. I had this same problem before. Quite a common thing on our ep3.

Because it has only just happened once you've lowered the car / installed coilovers its LIKELY your front springs slipping around as your front shocks rotate - as you turn the wheel back and forth. Mare sure the spring perches are TIGHT as they can loosen over time with this front suspension design (macpherson struts)

[doosra]

Bluey - it's only happened since coilovers installed so I think Benjamin mighty be right.

Ben - thanks mate. I'll get tomorrow to make sure it's tight. Do you think I need a camber kit?

I'm currently using some from a audm dc5r. So yes, they are identical i.e. bolt up to the ep3r.

Get this one and spend the coin you save elsewhere.
