            If you dont mind my asking, what springs are you running? And do you have any problem with the front cv joints or the rubber seals aroudn them tearing, with the car being so low? Ive been meaning to drop mine a little lower, especially in the front, but I hear its not healthy to go any lower than the h&r's do on the ix.

                      wow, I had no idea Tstars would fit on an ix. do you get any rubbing in the rear? what size tires, and what's the offset on those wheels?

                      I wish I could buy that car from you, I'd swap trannys with my car and use it as a winter beater :)

                              Wheels sold to Dave pending a deposit in the mail.

                              The suspension parts are from this car:


                              It pretty much consists of Koni SA all around with GC gland nuts in the front, Eibach Pro-kit (yes, I know everybody claims it will kill the CV joints, but I'd like to see it myself), GC RSM, no front sway bar.

                              I also changed front wheel bearings while I was there.

                              Wheels are 16x7.5 with 215/45 Azenis. They do rub in the rear with these tires and those lips will need to be rolled in just a bit.

                              Chris, I'd be more than happy to sell you this car. PM me.

                              By the way, front axle boots are under $15 from EAP4Parts.com
