It's definitely up to the spender and their budget and priorities.
You can spend so so much on audio, for some people $1000 is too much, for others $3000 might be acceptable and some people spend tens of thousands.

Personally I think, if you are willing to spend 2k on audio and you don't need a head unit then that portion of the money can go to better speakers, amps, deadening or whatever.

First post updated with pictures and mods

Installed the WALK this afternoon & the difference was incredible!! Steering is more precise & directed. Main thing it fixed was the horrible clunking that was coming from the front suspension.. Update of first post to come.

Any suggestion on dropping the front down a little more?

[drndrn]

You could always put 150kg of cement in your engine bay to drop the front!

Other than having the springs reset, or cutting them you won't be able to drop the front to the same height as the rear on your current set up. Just get coilovers.

Looking at different options now.. Should have gone coilovers, oh well, live and let learn.. I'd like to keep Tein springs on the front to match the back but they don't have anything to sit lower. Does anyone NOT recommend running different springs on the front to lower it??

First post updated once again with plans

[seanmau5]

20% window tinting was done on Friday; will upload some pictures later. I also picked up some GT rotors & calipers for cheap, will be painting them black with gold decals & installing th next weekend.

Custom mesh grill halfway through being done.. Bogged & primed, just need to paint now pending nicer weather.

Will update first post later

[seanmau5]

Updated.

With the grill, are you leaving the gaps where the crossbars were?

I cut the inside edge of the grill back until it got rid of them.

[seanmau5]

Well I'm going to try it with the gaps there, see what it looks like. If it looks like dogs balls then I'll cut it out more

[cruisn]

It will look like dogs balls and I'll have to cut it out more

Edited.......



Cut it out first. Dont do things twice.

[seanmau5]

So I have my new brakes and rotors ready to go!! Quick question, was talking to my uncle and he needs to know 2 things before saying yes to working. 1) do the lines need to be pressure bled? & 2) is there a special tool required to remove the nut holding the hub on?

(think I got those questions right :S)

Cheers,
Sean

[cruisn]

By brakes and rotors do you mean pads and rotors or are you changing the calipers?

Why do you need to take the drive shaft nut off??

Doing brakes involves nothing with the drive shaft nut.

If you change calipers you will have to bleed the ones changed. If your just doing pads and rotors, then bleeding isnt required.

[seanmau5]

Sorry should clarify. By brakes I mean calipers. I know that the lines need bleeding but my uncle is unsure whether it requires pressure bleeding or just pumping the brake pedal.

Thank you Mark, you've told me what I need to know. Was just asking the questions on behalf of him.
