an update of how my 3g looking right now.
like about 3 weeks ago some girl that was pulling out of my neighbors driveway backed up into my car while it was parked. thanks to my mom who heard it and told me, i ran outside and caught her on the act before he left. at first she denied it and i said id call the cops. she didnt have her license so she agreed to go to my body shop and find out how much itll cost me then she gave me the cash. still not happy because i will have to leave my car over night which means id have to till summer when im off school :/ ![]() good news other than the dent she looks clean ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I should of gotten coils, but I got a really good deal on the struts, I found ebay springs with 2.5' drop you think their worth it? I just want to get rid of the wheel gap up front and it seems like megan springs are the lowest there is

Do you have any video or sound clips of the magnaflow? I have a GS and was thinking about getting one - but all the videos I've found have been pretty crap quality. Your car is coming together nicely.

5x114.0 are your bolt pattern and their pattern, as you said is 5x114.3. It seems to me that your bolts will come off when trying to tight them up.
Yours are slightly smaller. So they might not work on those rims. But I assume there might be a way to get away with it.
