What spacers could you use to lift the car and how much lift would you get?

It took three hours. Had to remove front struts assembly and then compress springs to remove top hat and pound out studs to replace with longer bolts. I would say it's somewhat of an advances DIY mod because of the springs. Autozone rents tool for free

Aftermarket parts don't legally affect warranty unless the dealer proves that the part caused the problem. I suppose they could do something general like void the entire warrant with a bolt on turbo, but for things like this they can't deny warranty claims.

Exactly. They can't be like "oh, you put an exhaust on, which obviously caused your brakes to malfunction." lol Conpletely unrelated.

Do you guys think I would have any luck getting this lip to fit my car? I know its for the WRX/STI, but it's only $65 and might be sweet if i could make it work...

Unless it's something major, most of the time they try to get out of warranty work anyway. Screw it.

Or if a shock blows, just buy a better aftermarket one. lol More reason to build your suspension.

Did you need longer studs to install these on the rear?

I believe they have two arrays, top and bottom.. either way, please share your insight and methods.
Like i said, I'm hesitant but am in the process of doing my due diligence. would you say they yielded no improvement over the halogens or produced less usable light? |

Also anything with active cooling is bound to fail. You need something with passive cooling like a big aluminum heat sink. In a projector, the lower LED is useless anyway, as is the unidirectional LED chip, so we made a triple layout LED bulb: It also has a copper core in the center to help get the heat away from the chips and out the back: |

Algreen, did you have a shop paint your fog surrounds, or was that a DIY? Prep? Was thinking of color-matching mine as well.

I really need to invest in some "saggy butt" spacers. The stance of my car looks stupid with the a$$ end so much lower looking than the front. I wonder why they come from the factory like that??
