Camber fixed with 20mm spacers ?

I'd need a small pull.

I put a 10mm back there the other day and couldnt put my finger in between it.

no i'm saying put 20mm spacers on and get it aligned so that it's not so negative.

i guess i'm just coming from another world when it comes to wheel fitment with you guys..

try a 10mm spacer and dial the camber out to -1 or -2 thenthat looks like -2.5 to like -3.5 area.

hopefully you come back and see what ppl posted about your pic...

just wondering, does that spoiler go into the stock mounts/holes?

got a complete rear shot of it?

i was wondering if that spoiler made the rear end look wide just like the s13's does

The kouki tails are way overpriced and overated IMO. Id rather buy methanol injection for my ka-t setup than buy some tailights. The only reason why I have a kouki front is when my zenki front end got ****ed up I couldnt find a zenki front end and I picked up the kouki front end for 600 bucks and that included everything I needed to convert it. As for wheels I didnt find any nice wheels for sale I wanted and I settled for 350z wheels since there cheap, oem quality, keep a low profile because cops like to pull over cars like ours since california sucks for modified cars. When I do see a set of wheels I want and if I got the money ill def. buy some. I wouldnt mind a set of Gram light 57d ceramic white's

ka-t and that muffler?! Noice!! that's exactly what I want to do, my exhaust hangs down too low and it's a bit louder than I want it.

I just want a low-profile look and sound.

thuglyfe I remember you were askin me-my exhaust is a knockoff(didn't have 800 to drop on exhaust lol) it was really loud when my car was n/a w/out cats but it's pretty quiet now, my turbo quiets it down a lot.

If your lookin for a low profile exhaust for your ka-t on the cheap get a

megan racing type 2 exhaustrsr ex-mag exhaustapexi noir exhaust

I run the megan type 2 on my ka-t and im happy with it for what I paid. Its not really loud, fitment was good, looks pretty oem. I might get that apexi butterfly valve to make my exhaust really really silent when im just daily driving the car.

Ive heard good things about circuit sports exhaust systems. I never seen or heard one in person so I didnt list it. But def. a good exhaust from a reputable company.

The muffler is a Magnaflow piece, super clean looking but really deep. My car did not have a spoiler so I'm not sure but I heard that on of the holes does not line up.

there was a review on the megan type 2's and it had no muffling affect in the muffler. basically empty can. i knew it, it looks good but i knew it would still be as loud as a fartcan.

I have a megan type 2 exhaust and its not a loud as many other exhausts out there. Yeah the muffler design sucks but it does have a small resonator so it wont be insane loud.

It looks like there's something between the light and the bumper cuz the light looks pushed up and the bumper looks pushed down... no biggie

i believe it is because the foam on the jdm bumper is different, i may be wrong though.
